Inventory software for soap makers
Soap is made in batches and sold in bars, and the gap between those two units is where most soap making inventory software gives up. Makeable stores the batch recipe, divides it into bars, and keeps oils, lye, butters and packaging in one live count so you always know what the next batch will actually produce.
Oatmeal honey bar
- Olive oil6000 g in stock, 90 g per bar66 units
- Coconut oil2800 g in stock, 60 g per bar46 units
- Lye900 g in stock, 24 g per bar37 units
- Wrap and label120 in stock, 1 per bar120 units
Capacity is the smallest of those numbers, so today you can make 37. The bottleneck is lye, and that is the line to buy first. Read the method in our guide to production capacity planning.
- Base oils
- Lye
- Butters
- Essential oils
- Colourants
- Wraps and labels
Every one of these becomes a line in your recipe, so you can also calculate your bill of materials and work out cost and margin per unit.
What this actually fixes
Batch in, bars out
A single cure gives forty bars. Your stock, your orders and your pricing all live at bar level.
Cure time is real time
Knowing what is curing and what is sellable stops you promising a bar that is three weeks away.
Cost per bar drifts
Oil prices move constantly. Update the material once and every bar re-costs itself.
