## What is Artisan View?

What does each bar of soap actually cost you? Artisan View shows you before you set the price.

Built for soapmakers, natural cosmetics makers, and small workshops, Artisan View replaces the notebook and the spreadsheet with one connected place: formulas, batches, real costs, stock, orders, and sales.

FROM FORMULA TO BATCH
• Write formulas with ingredients, bases, phases, percentages, INCI names, pH, and your own method.
• Scale any formula to the batch size you need, and the app works out every gram for you.
• Weigh with the bench checklist, one ingredient at a time.
• Run the free lye calculator: set superfat, NaOH and KOH purity, and lye concentration, or load the oils straight from a formula.
• Copy a ready-made INCI list, sorted by weight, for your labels.

BATCHES THAT KEEP THEIR STORY
• Every batch gets its own record: code, scale, real yield, cost, and a copy of the formula you used that day.
• Track cure time, release date, and shelf life, even from your Lock Screen.
• Close a batch, and Artisan View updates your stock and logs the real cost, not the estimate.

PRICING YOU CAN ACTUALLY TRUST
• Roll ingredients, packaging, labor, monthly expenses, and losses into your cost of goods sold.
• See a suggested price and your margin for every product.
• Add your sales channels with their commission and fixed fee, and find the price that protects your margin in each one.
• Past sales keep the cost from the day you logged them, so a new supplier price never rewrites a closed month.

YOUR SHOP, ORGANIZED
• Track raw materials, packaging, finished products, and low-stock alerts.
• Build a shopping list and scan barcodes to log purchases faster.
• Record sales by channel, manage customer orders, and plan production by season.
• See revenue, expenses, best sellers, margin by product, and break-even at a glance.
• Run more than one shop, each with its own formulas and stock.

ON IPHONE, IPAD, AND MAC
Take Artisan View to the bench on your iPhone. On iPad, Formulas opens as a full workbench: your list, the cost table, and pricing side by side. Everything syncs to your Mac through iCloud.

YOUR RECIPES STAY YOURS
Your data lives on your devices and in your private iCloud. Work offline and sync when you're back online. Import XLSX files, export CSV, make full backups, back up to Google Drive, or move everything to a new device over Wi-Fi. No ads, no sign-up required to start, and we never sell your data.

Production features are free: start with your own formulas or explore the sample data. Operations features (stock, sales, orders, expenses, and more) need a subscription or a one-time purchase. If you qualify, try Operations free for seven days with the monthly plan.

Artisan View helps you organize your work and price it fairly. It does not replace accounting, tax, or regulatory advice.
