Small businesses lack a simple system to track raw material inventory through transformation into finished goods, including work-in-progress classification.

Existing solutions are either too complex (full ERP) or too simplistic (just booking raw materials to inventory), failing to offer an affordable, easy way to track the raw materials-to-finished goods lifecycle with WIP stages.
