You make the products.

Hylume helps you run the business

Running a maker business shouldn't mean keeping products in one spreadsheet, orders somewhere else, inventory in your head, expenses in a notebook and production on a whiteboard.

Hylume brings it all together.

Products
Keep your products, pricing and production information organized.

Inventory
Keep track of what you have available.

Orders
Know what's been ordered, by whom and when it's due.

Sales & Expenses
Record money coming in and business costs going out.

Production
See exactly what needs to be made and what's already finished.

Reports
See sales, expenses and profit without building another spreadsheet.

One business. One place to run it.

From order to done.

Hylume keeps the work connected, so you always know what came in, what needs to be made and where things stand.

  • A customer places an order

    Add the customer, products, quantities, pricing and due date. Hylume keeps everything together in one order.text goes here

  • Know what needs to be made

    Ordered products flow into the Production Queue, where you can see quantities, due dates and what still needs to be produced.

  • Track the work

    Update production as items are finished. Hylume shows what's complete, what's remaining and which orders still need attention.

  • See how the business is doing

    Record the sale and expenses, then use Hylume's reports to see sales, expenses and net profit.

One order. One connected workflow. No extra spreadsheets.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Hylume gives maker businesses the tools they need to manage everyday operations without the complexity of traditional business software.

Know what you sell. Know what it really costs

Keep your products organized with images, pricing and the information you need to manage them.

When it's time to set a price, Hylume goes beyond material cost. Factor in material, machine time, electricity, labor, finishing, packaging, supplies, waste and your target margin.

✓ Keep your product catalog organized
✓ Store pricing and product information together
✓ Quickly find and manage what you sell

Orders that don't stop at checkout

Create an order with multiple products, quantities, pricing, customer information and fulfillment details—all in one place.

Hylume keeps the order connected to the work required to actually make it.

✓ Manage multi-item customer orders
✓ Keep customer and order information together
✓ Track payment and fulfillment status
✓ See exactly what still needs to be produced

Turn products into posts.

Running your business is only part of the job. You still have to get people to notice what you make.

Hylume turns the product information you've already entered into a ready-to-use marketing package for Facebook and Instagram.

✓ Create social content directly from a product
✓ Generate captions, titles, calls-to-action and hashtags
✓ Create marketing image prompts using your real product photos
✓ Choose Facebook, Instagram or both
✓ Keep your marketing content connected to your products

Inventory

Keep track of what you have available and make adjustments as your stock changes.

Stop guessing what to charge.

Material is only part of what it costs to make something.

Hylume helps you account for material, machine time, electricity, labor, finishing, packaging, supplies, waste and other costs—then shows you what the product actually costs to make.

✓ See your true production cost
✓ Know your break-even point
✓ Price toward your target margin
✓ Get a suggested selling price

Know what needs to be made next.

Hylume turns ordered products into actionable work in the Production Queue.

See quantities ordered, completed and remaining, along with priority, due dates and production status—without maintaining a separate production spreadsheet.

✓ See production work generated from orders
✓ Track completed and remaining quantities
✓ Prioritize what needs to be made next
✓ Keep production connected to the original order

And that's not all.
