How it works

From inventory coming in to profit you can trust

Pick the way your business works, and follow one real item through Intakes — what it cost at every step, and what it left you.

Finished goods, mixed lots, pallets, storage units, estate goods, thrifted inventory, or ordinary wholesale stock.

  • Intake buys items marked “Can be purchased”
  • Prepare shelves anything received
  • Sell sells items marked “Can be sold”, packs items marked “Used in fulfillment”
  • Know reads every sale

The sale subtracts what this jacket cost — its share of the bale, freight and fees included — not an average of everything you bought.

What it looks like in Intakes

I buy and resell

Sell before you finish counting — without pretending the cost is final.

  • A storage unit, a pallet or an auction lot, recorded as one purchase at the price you paid, while the contents are still being counted.
  • The purchase says how much of that price is still to be spread over what you have not counted yet.
  • List and sell as you unpack; a sale from an unfinished lot marks its profit provisional.
  • When the purchase closes, the price spreads across everything you found, including what already sold.

Purchase cost, freight, fees, packaging, and write-offs land where they belong.

See profit you can trust

Understand profit by item, sale, channel, or variation — with a P&L that matches the dashboard.

Who’s behind it

Built inside real businesses. Engineered to grow with yours.

Intakes began as the system behind three very different businesses of our own — none of which the usual inventory software fit. It is designed and built by a software architect with two decades of experience building large systems, and it still runs our own stock every day. It has grown from that into a platform for any business that buys, makes and sells, from one person to a warehouse team, and it keeps growing every week.

  • Built inside real businesses

    Three, each working differently.

  • Engineered to last

    Two decades of building large systems.

  • Independent

    Self-funded, no investors to answer to.

  • Shipping every week

    Every release in the changelog.
