Maker Forge Features
Maker Forge is not accounting software, inventory software, or ERP software. It is a decision-making platform built specifically for small maker businesses.
Every feature has one purpose: help makers make better business decisions.
Know What Every Product Really Earns
Most makers know what they charge. Very few know what they actually keep.
Maker Forge combines material costs, labor estimates, marketplace fees, shipping costs, overhead, and selling price to show what every product actually earns.
Price With Confidence
Pricing is not guessing. It is understanding the complete picture.
Experiment with pricing before you change a listing. See how changes affect profit, margin, Maker Earnings, hourly earnings, and customer price.
Understand Where Your Time Is Worth the Most
Every maker has limited hours.
Compare Maker Earnings, hourly return, profit, labor required, and production efficiency so you can decide what to build next.
Build Better Cost Estimates
Know exactly what goes into every product.
Track materials, components, hardware, packaging, consumables, labor, and shared resources. Reuse materials and components across products to save time and improve consistency.
Compare Sales Channels
Selling on multiple platforms means dealing with different fees.
Compare expected profitability across sales channels before you publish, including Etsy, Shopify, craft fairs, direct sales, and wholesale.
Dashboard Designed for Makers
No spreadsheets. No confusing reports. Just clear answers.
Your dashboard highlights profitable products, low performers, missing cost information, material exposure, product health, and shop-wide insights as your data changes.
Product Intelligence
Every product gets a detailed view of the decisions that matter.
See pricing, costs, profitability, labor, materials, sales channels, and opportunities for improvement in one place.
Reusable Components
Do not enter the same information twice.
Create reusable materials, components, packaging, hardware, and resources. Update a component once and every product using it stays consistent.
Secure by Design
Your business data belongs to you.
Maker Forge includes secure Microsoft sign-in, encrypted connections, secure cloud hosting, automatic authentication, role-based access, and secure Stripe payment processing.
If you make products, Maker Forge is built for you.
Continuously Improving
Maker Forge is actively developed. Upcoming improvements are driven by feedback from real makers.
