For small-batch makers & growing brands

A place to start
The batch to make. The material to buy. The order to ship. Today’s Plan ranks the work using your own records, explains why it matters, and takes you to the next step.
Keep upcoming deliveries, deadlines and production dates in view. Spend less of the morning working out where to begin.

A formula becomes a batch. Materials become stock. A quote becomes an order. Keep the records and the work together as your business grows.
Build percentage-based formulas, keep versions, and move from R&D to production. New batches save the formulation used, so later edits don’t rewrite that record. Explore ingredient references and use the built-in lye calculator for soap.

Plan a batch, record what you made, and account for the ingredients, packaging and labor behind it. One pour can finish into several sizes, each with its own packaging and stock. Keep batch cards and notes with the work.

See what needs reordering, what’s already on order, and how long suppliers tend to take. Create purchase orders, bring in invoice details for review, and receive materials into lots with supplier references and landed costs.
Suppliers · Purchase orders · Receiving · Invoices
See materials and finished goods, including what’s on hand, committed and available. Track material lots and expiry dates, pick up an unfinished stocktake, and follow recorded links from ingredients to batches and shipped orders.

Keep companies, contacts and opportunities together. Move deals through your own stages, assign an owner, and build a quote with prices, terms and a private view of margin. Email the customer copy or download a PDF. Accept a quote to create a draft order.

Bring in Shopify orders or enter them yourself. See what’s available and what still needs making, then track fulfillment with pick slips and invoices. Recorded batch costs follow the units you ship.

Switch between a board and a list. Shape your stages, set priorities and dates, assign work, and break it into subtasks and checklists. Keep comments, notes and attachments with the task, so the details stay with the person doing it.
Board & list · Subtasks · Assignments · Checklists
See how purchased materials, packaging and recorded labor contribute to a finished unit. Review prices and margins, business expenses and profit reports. When costs are missing, Pluto makes the gap visible.

Room to grow
Keep the opportunity, the customer and the offer together. Your deals board shows where each conversation stands. Your quote holds the products, prices and terms. When it’s accepted, create the draft order without starting again.

The work between the work
Production is only part of the day. There’s a supplier to follow up with, a label to revise and a wholesale sample to prepare. Give each task an owner, a priority and a date. Keep the conversation and supporting files with it.
Board when you want to see the flow. List when you want the detail. Subtasks and checklists when the job has a few more steps.
Your stages. Your team. The same work in both views.
The business, from every angle
Move between eight focused views of your business. Understand results, investigate what changed, and check what your next move would require. Reporting tabs keep the selected period where it applies.
Overview
Start with revenue, recorded product costs, operating expenses and the constraints worth investigating.
Products
Look at product performance and the mix behind your results.
Sales
Explore sales over time and compare the reporting periods that matter.
Audience
Review customer patterns and available audience signals from connected services.
Inventory
Examine stock coverage, material constraints and production needs.
Spending
Look at purchasing and operating expenses with their different roles in the business.
Operations
Review production, supplier and fulfillment performance.
Projections
Change demand assumptions, inspect the gap, and review supply and capacity before committing.
Recorded results, estimates and missing information are shown for what they are. A target is a plan to work toward; it isn’t a promise of demand.
Ask Pluto
Ask about your formulas, materials, batches, purchases, orders and business records without hunting through every page. Pluto’s assistant can use the page you’re on and relevant workspace information to help you investigate.
Bring a formula document or invoice into a reviewable workflow. Get help interpreting supporting documents and turning your notes into clearer instructions.
Your records give the context. You bring the judgment.
Connected to the way you work
Connect Shopify for products, orders and inventory updates. Bring scheduled work together with Google Calendar, or exchange calendar feeds with Apple and Outlook.
Available connections also bring in signals from Meta and Instagram, Klaviyo and Judge.me, helping you understand customers and demand alongside the work of making.
Connections require setup and the relevant account permissions. Available insights depend on the data those services provide.
Your formulas stay yours
You keep every right to your recipes and records. Pluto claims no ownership of what you put in your workspace.
Invite the people you work with and give them access to the areas they need. Keep instructions, supporting documents and the work itself together. Export supported records when you need them.

Pluto tracks operational costs, expenses and profit reports, with exports to support your records. Keep your accountant and specialized accounting tools for reconciliation, tax filing and the rest of your accounting workflow.
