Kitted

Kitted is inventory and production management software for small manufacturers - jewellery makers, food producers, candle makers, electronics assemblers, workshops, and anyone else who makes physical products from components or ingredients. It does what a spreadsheet cannot. The problem it solves: Most small producers start with a spreadsheet. It works - until it doesn't. You confirm an order, then discover you don't have enough of a key ingredient. You drive to the workshop and realise you forgot to check stock. You price a wholesale deal and halfway through the negotiation you realise you don't actually know your cost per unit. You're doing a production run and someone else has already used the last of a component. These are not edge cases. They are the everyday friction of running a product business without proper tooling. The expensive alternatives - Katana, MRPeasy, inFlow - cost £50-150/month, require cloud accounts, and take days to configure. Most small producers look at the price, look at the complexity, and go back to the spreadsheet. What Kitted does: - Stock management across multiple locations, with minimum levels and low-stock alerts before you run out - Bills of materials / recipes - build a recipe or BoM for every product, with sub-assemblies, waste factors, and yield losses all handled automatically - "Can I make this?" - open any product and instantly see whether you have enough stock to make it, and exactly what is short and by how much - Production orders - a five-stage workflow from Planned to Complete; components are deducted when a run finishes and the recipe is locked at order creation so later changes never affect a run in progress - Reorder Workbench - every item below its minimum in one view, quantities pre-filled, preferred supplier pre-selected, one click creates a draft purchase order per supplier - Suppliers & purchase orders - supplier directory with price history per item; receive against a PO and stock lands in the right location automatically - Sales - multi-line sales orders with per-line quantities, prices, and locations; every sale posts stock movements automatically - Stock takes - guided count workflow with automatic snapshotting; discrepancies become adjustments with a full audit trail - Lot / batch tracking - opt-in per item; record lot numbers and expiry dates on receipt, get alerts before batches expire, FIFO deduction in production, full forward and backward traceability - Reports - nine built-in reports covering stock levels, valuation, movement history, BoM cost breakdown, production history, and supplier prices; all export to CSV How it works technically: Kitted is a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It runs a local server on the host machine; everyone on the same network connects in their browser - no extra software, no extra licences, no IT setup. The entire database is a single local file. Back it up with a copy. There is no cloud account, no data leaves your machine, and there is no subscription to forget to cancel. Pricing: £199 one-time payment. Full functionality. Free updates for 12 months. The app keeps working indefinitely after that regardless. 30-day fully-featured free trial, no account required. Who it is for: Kitted is built for businesses that are too serious for a spreadsheet and too small for an ERP. If you make physical products, you track what goes into them, and you are paying a monthly fee you resent - or you are still on spreadsheets and paying for it with mistakes - Kitted is worth trying.
