ManufacturingInventory Management3MediumOwner$ implied
A small-batch maker struggles to track which batch each handmade item belongs to, leading to mix-ups and reliance on memory, and has started using basic labels to manage this.
Manual labeling is tedious and error-prone, and there is no integrated way to track batches, recipes, orders, and status efficiently for small-batch production.
