Public sign-up opens October 3
Intakes tracks what you buy, make, hold, and sell — with every purchase cost, fee, box, and write-off attached to the item where it belongs.
Who it’s for
Choose the path closest to your business. Intakes will show you the parts that matter to you.
How it works
Intake → Prepare → Sell → Know. The same four stages for every business — read here in yours.
Showing: I buy and resell
Record one item, a wholesale order, or a whole mixed lot with every purchase cost beside it.
Inspect, identify, label, and place inventory as it becomes ready.
Reserve and sell the exact piece; its cost follows it onto the sale.
See what each item and channel actually earned.
Receive materials and record their full landed cost.
Make materials available for production and track where they are held.
Finished goods sell with their material and production costs attached.
See the true cost and profit of each finished product.
Receive inventory from sources with costs and quantities accounted for.
Move stock through a controlled work queue into real storage locations.
Reserve and fulfill without selling the same stock twice.
Review margins, slow stock, work in progress, and the complete audit trail.

Who’s behind it
We are a husband-and-wife team who needed one system to run three very different businesses. One of us knew the operational mess firsthand; the other is a software architect. Intakes grew from a tool we depended on ourselves into a system flexible enough to follow the way other businesses actually work.
Family-owned
Two people, no outside money.
Built from three real businesses
Each one working differently.
Still used in our own operations
We run our own stock on it.
Pricing
No card required. Every feature included. Unlimited people. After the trial, plans start at $49 per workspace each month, and most businesses remain at the base price.
$49 / month
