KavanaStock
Interactive demo with example data. Nothing is saved.
The simplest way for UK makers to see true profit per item.
KavanaStock (kavanaapp.co.uk) is an inventory and profit-tracking web app for independent makers: candle makers, soap makers, jewellers, bakers, knitters and anyone who turns raw materials into products. You add your materials and costs, build a recipe for each product, and it shows your real profit per item with your own time counted. It warns you before materials run out and flags products that are not selling. It is free to start, priced in pounds, and built for people selling at craft fairs, markets and online.
It is deliberately simple. It does not sync live with Etsy or Shopify, and it is not accounting software. If you need that, our honest comparison explains which tools suit you better. KavanaStock is not related to kavanapp.com or to any wellness app.
You are busy making. Nobody told you how to count.
“Am I actually making money?”
Sales are coming in, but between materials, packaging, fees and your time, you can't say what is left.
“I ran out halfway through an order.”
One missing wick, clasp or colour and a day of work stops while you wait for a delivery.
“I think I'm underpricing.”
Pricing by feel and by what others charge usually means paying yourself pennies an hour.
“My spreadsheet is three weeks out of date.”
It only works when you update it, and you stop updating it exactly when you get busy.
None of this means you are bad at business. It means the numbers are scattered. KavanaStock puts them in one place and does the sums for you.
Three steps to knowing your numbers.
Add your materials
Enter what you have, what it cost, and when you want a warning. KavanaStock flags it before low stock ruins a making session.
Build a recipe for each product
Tag the materials each piece uses and how long it takes. We add your hourly rate and show your true estimated profit per item.
Sell, and let it update itself

Your real profit, after your own time.
A product can look like a winner and still pay you less than minimum wage. KavanaStock adds up materials, packaging and your hourly rate for every product, so you can price with confidence instead of guessing.
