How it works
It starts with a receipt and ends with numbers you can defend.
- 1
Snap the receipt
Photograph a supply receipt at the register or the trunk — one hand, offline is fine.
- 2
Review the lines
Batchnook reads each line; you check it before it counts. Nothing saves until you accept.
- 3
Watch the ripple
Accept, and every product’s real cost and margin recompute in front of you.
- 4
Log batches & orders
“Made 40 candles” updates stock and unit cost; orders track revenue and period COGS.
- 5
Export the reports
Tax-ready period COGS, valuation, and P&L-lite — average-cost method, disclosed.

What it looks like in your hand
Review a receipt, watch margins ripple, and cost every batch — from the phone in your apron.
Built for the whole making loop
From the supply run to the report your accountant asks for.
The receipt is the input
Capture is built for the trunk and the checkout line: one-handed, a torch for dim garages, and it works with no signal. Batchnook reads the lines — you approve them. Nothing lands in your books until you say so.
Your true cost, always current
Every purchase updates each material’s moving-average cost, so a product’s cost reflects what you actually paid this month — not last year’s guess. Set a target margin, and Batchnook tells you the moment a receipt breaks it.
Batches and orders in seconds
Log “made 40 candles” and stock plus unit cost update at once. Record an order at a market booth in a couple of taps — revenue and period COGS track themselves. Batches and orders are never metered, on any plan.
Numbers your accountant will trust
Tax-ready reports — period COGS, inventory valuation, P&L-lite — by the average-cost method, disclosed. Marketplace fee presets keep your Etsy and Shopify math honest, and one-tap migration brings your spreadsheet in.
Our promises to makers
Four promises, in writing.
Flat, published pricing — no surprises.
What you see on the pricing page is what you pay — no hidden tiers, no surprises, and the product only keeps getting better.
No order-line meters, ever.
Sell as much as you can make. We meter receipt scans — our real cost — never your orders, transactions, or growth.
Your data walks free — export everything, always.
Export everything as JSON or CSV, free, on every tier, forever. Migration in and out — no lock-in in either direction.
Tax-ready numbers, never tax advice.
The average-cost method, disclosed on every report — defensible records. And we never sell filing or compliance advice.
