Show HN: Craftplan – I built my wife a production management tool for her bakery
68 points - last Sunday at 5:25 PM
My wife was planning to open a micro-bakery. We looked at production management software and it was all either expensive or way too generic. The actual workflows for a small-batch manufacturer aren't that complex, so I built one and open-sourced it.
Craftplan handles recipes (versioned BOMs with cost rollups), inventory (lot traceability, demand forecasting, allergen tracking), orders, production batch planning, and purchasing. Built with Elixir, Ash Framework, Phoenix LiveView, and PostgreSQL.

Oh man. My wife's biscotti business will benefit from this. Nice work!
Nice! 5 bucks says you can swap this in for your average software kanban and it does a better job.
I think this is a very nicely thought out approach. I particularly like it doing allergen tracking. Obviously you're at the mercy of supplier/supply-chain integrity but if you do e.g. wind up with ground cumin contaminated with god knows what, this is what will get you where you need to be.

This is definitely a nit but is there any reason you need 2 decimal places accuracy for percent complete?
Looks well thought out. We wrestle with website, real ERP and building Notion connectors for production orders in make to order scenarios so there’s definitely a pain point.

I think I have needed this for 3d printing for some time
As someone who struggled with ERPs, this is super-nice and clean!
