Three things that happen in your shop every day

Ceramic mugCost per piece ₺89.00 · 70% margin

Cost per piece is always an estimate.

Enter each product's recipe once: how much clay, glaze and packaging. As you enter raw material purchases, cost per piece updates by itself. Enter a selling price and you see the profit margin too.

20 expected · 17 madeCeramic mug batch came out short: −₺267.00

20 pieces went into the kiln, 17 came out whole.

When you enter a batch, you write the expected and actual count. Çetele tells you the difference and what it cost; you see how much the cost of each good piece really went up.

Running lowGlaze 4 days · Clay 3 days · Kraft boxes 9 days

The glaze ran out and an order is waiting.

From your batch records Çetele knows how fast each material goes and tells you how many days it will last. Clay, glaze, boxes: the low ones come first; add your supplier from your contacts and call with one tap.

Frequently asked questions

How do I work out the cost of a handmade product?

Enter the product's recipe once: how many pieces one batch makes and how much of each raw material goes in, packaging included. As you enter raw material purchases, prices update and cost per piece is recalculated by itself. You see the profit margin against your selling price on the Products screen.

How do I record pieces that crack or come out faulty?

Two ways. When you enter a batch, write the expected and actual count; Çetele tells you the difference and what it cost. For pieces that break or turn out faulty later, enter them as “Something was wasted”. Both show up in the waste report.

Can I record sales at a market or fair without internet?

Yes. Records you enter offline wait on the phone and are sent when you are back online. The app shows which records are still waiting to be sent.

Is Çetele only for food businesses?

No. Çetele works for any small business that buys materials and makes products: ceramics, wood, leather, candles, soap, jewellery, textiles. Pick “Workshop” during setup and name your materials and products yourself.
