Ardent Seller

Ardent Seller is the inventory, manufacturing, and sales backbone for a small maker business. It tracks raw materials and finished goods across multiple locations, captures purchases, sales, adjustments, transfers, production runs, and waste, and turns all of that into the costing, pricing, tax, and reporting answers makers actually need — recipe costing, true COGS, equipment depreciation, Schedule C–ready summaries, and marketplace reconciliation.

Built for at-home bakers, soap and candle makers, jewelry makers, coffee roasters, woodworkers, potters, skincare formulators, farmers-market vendors, digital-product sellers, and Etsy shop owners who have outgrown spreadsheets but don't want to pay for enterprise ERP. Every plan, including the free tier, includes every feature — no paywalls, no premium-only capabilities.

Food-business essentials are built in: automatic unit conversions (buy in pounds, use in cups, track in grams), allergen detection across recipes and subassemblies, and FDA-style nutrition label generation.

Pricing fits how you sell: a free plan forever, flat-rate plans from $19/month with annual savings of two-plus months, or Pay As You Go credits with no recurring fee and 20 free credits every month.

Built by a small team at Ardent Workshop with 30+ years of software experience and 20+ years of hands-on crafting and home-baking — and active sellers ourselves on Etsy and ardentworkshop.com.
