New from the workshop
Ardent Seller. Inventory, production & sales for makers.
A complete business management platform built for the makers we kept meeting at craft fairs and farmers' markets — people whose spreadsheets had outgrown spreadsheets, but who didn't need enterprise ERP. From cottage food kitchens to craft studios to workshop floors.

Built for
Small-batch makers.
We built Ardent Seller because off-the-shelf tools were either too generic for batch-based recipes or too enterprise for a one- or two-person operation.
- At-home bakers
- Soap & candle makers
- Jewelry artisans
- Coffee roasters
- Woodworkers
- Small-batch food producers
- Etsy shop owners
- Digital product sellers
The platform
