In a leather workshop every product needs a different leather, colour and hardware, and then come personal monogramming, colour choices or size changes. When leather is counted in square feet and hardware by the piece, what a product really costs becomes unclear. In the system we build, every model is defined with its leather consumption and hardware recipe, and orders from the website, a marketplace or a shop reach the workshop with personalisation notes. Cutting, stitching and finishing are tracked, and stock and cost update on their own.
Problems leather workshops face
- Personalisation notes lost along with the order
- Leather stock not trackable by square foot
- Product cost calculated by guesswork
- Online orders reaching the workshop late

Integrations
Off-the-shelf software or custom-built?
When off-the-shelf is enough
For workshops with few products selling through a single channel, the order screen of an e-commerce platform may be enough.
When custom software pays off
When made-to-order production, multi-channel sales and hide-based costing are needed, a custom system removes both errors and hidden costs.
How the budget is built
We launch the workflow that saves you the most time first, then add modules based on real usage. The full scope below is calculated with 16 screens and 9 modules; the final price follows a free discovery call and a written scope.
Maintenance and improvements (optional): €400 / month. Hosting, SMS, WhatsApp and app store fees are listed separately.
Frequently asked questions
Can leather be stocked in square feet?
Yes, hide lots are entered in square feet or square metres and the remaining area is reduced with each cut.
Do marketplace orders arrive automatically?
Through the integrations marketplaces provide, orders drop into the workshop list automatically.
Are wholesale and custom orders managed together?
Yes, serial production work orders and one-off custom orders appear in the same plan.
Is it hard to use on a tablet?
Workshop screens are designed with large buttons and by stage; each craftsperson sees only their own work.
