Craft and jewelry makers face significant challenges in their day-to-day activities, such as managing clients, suppliers, orders, and inventory.
Most of these are often compounded by:
Inefficient Manual Processes
Heavy dependence on notepads, whiteboards, and spreadsheets often results in inefficiencies and inaccuracies in data.
Data Consistency and Accuracy
Maintaining accurate tracking of data and synchronizing in real-time across different business functions is challenging but essential.
User Experience Expectations
It is expected to be intuitive and have minimal technical requirements for navigating and managing operations.
Subscription Management
Craft makers must easily manage free trials, paid plans, and subscription renewals without manual intervention.
