Vintro Pro · for craftspeople

Stock management for craftspeople

For the old trades: basket makers, net makers, chair caners and blacksmiths. Vintro Pro keeps track, piece by piece, of what went in as material and what came out.

You never make the same thing twice, and yet sometimes you make six of something. That is exactly where most systems come unstuck.

Stock software assumes one of two worlds: everything is unique, or everything is a run. A craftsperson sits in between. A hand-knotted net is a one-off, a set of six baskets is a run, and next month's commission is neither yet.

Vintro Pro works per piece and lets a run simply be six records, with the same description and each its own number. So your stock stays right, even when one basket is damaged and five are left.

What it does for a craft workshop

  1. One record per piece, inside a run as well

    Every copy has its own number and its own record. Sell two and four are left — without having to subtract anything.

  2. What the material cost

    Willow, rush, twine, leather, iron. You have no purchase price, but you do have costs, and they belong on the piece they went into.

  3. A label with a QR code

    For your stand at a craft market or a heritage day, or in your own workshop. The code points to the full record, so the label itself stays small.

  4. Keep commissioned work separate

    What is already sold before it is finished does not belong among what is still for sale. You record per piece where it stands.

In the app: your pieces sit under Stock, with the category to keep runs and one-offs apart. What is not for sale yet, you keep out of the online listing.

Where it goes wrong in a craft workshop

A run is one line with a quantity next to itAfter three sales you no longer know which copies have gone, and when one is damaged the count quietly stops being right.

Material costs are never written downYour price then becomes a feeling. With an expensive material that is the difference between earning a living and working for nothing.

Commissioned work sits among the sales stockThen you sell something that already belongs to someone else — the mistake that costs the most time and the most goodwill.

What you make yourself is new.

The margin scheme exists for goods bought second-hand, not for what you make. If you sell both — your own work alongside second-hand materials or parts — keep them apart in your books. The difference is set out in unused or second-hand?, and the scheme itself in this article.

Frequently asked questions

Can I track a run of six without typing everything six times?

Yes. You make the record once and repeat it for the rest of the run; every copy gets its own number, so your stock stays right piece by piece.

Can I keep commissioned work separate?

Yes. You record per piece where it stands, and what is not for sale yet stays out of the online marketplace.
