Not your spreadsheets.
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.
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.
-
A customer places an order
Add the customer, products, quantities, pricing and due date. Hylume keeps everything together in one order.

Hylume turns the order into work
Products that need to be made flow into your Production Queue, so you can see what's waiting, what's in progress and what needs to be made next.

Record completed quantities as products are made and keep production connected to the original customer order.

One order. One connected workflow. No extra spreadsheets.
Everything you need.
Nothing you don't.

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 ready-to-use marketing content for Facebook and Instagram.
Create your marketing package, use your real product photos and spend less time staring at a blank caption box wondering what to write.

Your equipment costs money to run, too.
