Everything your workroom needs. Nothing it doesn't.
10 product modules. 16 production reports. An AI trained on your own data. Built from the floor up for leather goods, footwear, and cut-and-sew.
Makers Yield is not a generic project management tool with a fashion skin. Every feature was built for the specific workflow of a leather goods, footwear, or cut-and-sew studio — from the irregular yield of a leather hide to the multi-tier pricing of a DTC brand running wholesale alongside direct sales.
Each product carries 10 structured modules. The reporting layer ships with 16 production reports across four domains. The AI runs on your own data, not a generic model. Below is the full system — not a marketing summary.
Your phone is the production terminal
Scan barcodes, log yield, and launch new products from the workbench — all without a computer. The Makers Yield mobile app supports 10 barcode formats including Code128, EAN-13, UPC-A, QR, and DataMatrix. It runs completely offline and syncs to the web PLM the moment you're back on Wi-Fi.
10 modules per product. From sketch to factory file.
Every product in Makers Yield has ten structured modules — specs with sketch views and colorways, construction details, bill of materials, trimmings, costs, FOB build-up, pricing strategy, yield workspace, review-threaded attachments, and a full change timeline. One record, all the way to production.
Landed cost down to the last duty line
The FOB build-up engine covers over 20 input fields — materials, trimmings, labor, tooling, packaging, duty rates, freight, and agent fees. Every number traces back to your actual yield data. No spreadsheet guesswork. No rounding that buries the margin error.
Track yield down to the square foot
Leather yields differently every time. Makers Yield tracks actual consumption per material, per product, with irregular-hide square footage math built in. Organize inventory by folder, run bulk imports, set reorder alerts, and print DYMO labels — all from one system.
16 reports. One AI that knows your studio.
Makers Yield ships with 16 production reports across four domains — Inventory Operations, Product Intelligence, Product Engineering, and Strategic Simulation. Butler AI runs on your own studio data, with support for local Ollama models or cloud — not a generic chatbot that hallucinates your margins.
Four roles. Every team covered.
Makers Yield is multi-workspace and multi-user from day one. Owner, Admin, Production, and Designer roles give every team member exactly the access they need — nothing more. Sync logs and admin tools keep the data clean across every session and every surface.
