Hides, hardware, and a lot of waste
Leatherwork has a materials problem that spreadsheets and generic apps handle badly. You do not buy leather in neat units, you buy hides by the square foot, in different grades and weights, and a real amount of every hide ends up as offcuts and waste. On top of the leather there is hardware: buckles, rivets, snaps, zippers, thread, edge paint. Knowing how much you can actually make, and what a finished piece truly costs, means accounting for all of it including the waste. That is not something a simple stock count can do.
Track leather and hardware as materials
Stockria uses a bill of materials, so each product knows what it is made of: the square footage of leather, the hardware, and the thread. Build a run of wallets and Stockria draws down the leather and hardware it used, so you always know how much you can still make and what to reorder first. Because you set the material usage yourself, you can build in realistic yield instead of pretending a hide has no waste. Work out the true material cost of a piece with the recipe cost calculator, then price it with the handmade pricing calculator.
Made-to-order and small batches
A lot of leatherwork is made to order or produced in small runs, which means low stock counts, custom pieces, and a steady flow of new products. A clean, consistent code keeps them findable instead of turning into a pile of unnamed variants. Generate one in seconds with the SKU generator, and let real-time counts and activity history keep even single pieces accurate.
Sell across Etsy, your site, markets, and wholesale
Leather makers sell in a mix of places: Etsy, their own site, markets, and wholesale to shops. That spread is where overselling starts, because one channel does not know what another sold. Stockria keeps one stock count synced across Shopify, Amazon, Square, and Etsy, and works offline at a market with no signal, then syncs when you reconnect.

Common questions from leather makers
Is Stockria good for a leather goods business? Yes. It tracks leather and hardware as materials through bills of materials, so you know how much you can make and what a piece really costs, waste included. It also manages made-to-order and small-batch work with clean SKUs, syncs stock across channels, and works offline at markets.
Can it track leather by the square foot? Yes. Set the leather usage per product in whatever unit you buy in, and Stockria draws it down when you make a run. Build in realistic yield so your material costs reflect the offcuts, not a perfect hide.
Does it handle hardware like buckles and rivets? Yes. Hardware, thread, and edge paint are all just materials in the bill of materials, drawn down alongside the leather when you make a product.
How does it compare to Craftybase for leatherwork? Craftybase is strong on detailed cost accounting and is billed by monthly order volume. Stockria is flat-priced, starts free, works offline, and syncs stock across channels, while still doing bills of materials.
