Most small shop owners do great work, but they struggle to track where the money actually goes. You pull lumber for a project, burn through hardware and consumables, and spend hours on labor—but if those costs aren't tied to your quote, you’re leaving money on the table.
Bit & Grain is the system that closes the loop. It’s the first app built specifically for woodworkers, makers, and specialty tradespeople that connects your inventory directly to your jobs, your quotes, and your invoices.
The "Shop-to-Invoice" Workflow
Generic invoicing tools don’t know what’s on your shelves. Generic inventory tools don’t know what’s in your projects. Bit & Grain does both:
Track Your Shop: Log lumber, hardware, and consumables with photos and quantities. Set low-stock alerts so you never run out of critical supplies mid-job.
Know Your Job Costs: Assign materials directly from your inventory to a specific project. No more "guessing" how much finish or hardware you used—know exactly what went into the work.
Quote with Confidence: Build professional quotes based on real material costs and labor. Stop quoting "by feel" and start protecting your margins.
Get Paid Faster: Convert quotes to professional invoices in seconds. Track your project pipeline from the first bid to the final payment.
Features Built for the Way You Work
Visual Inventory: Add items via photo or URL. Organize by shop, shed, or job site using nested locations.
Project Dashboard: See every active job, its status, and its current profitability in one bird's-eye view.
Customer CRM: Keep a clean history of every client, every conversation, and every dollar they’ve spent with you.
Craftsman’s Toolkit: Built-in calculators for board feet, dimensions, and cut lists.
Works Where You Do: Full offline support with cached data. Whether you're in a basement shop or a remote job site without Wi-Fi, your data is always there.
AI Workshop Assistant: Get instant answers to technical workshop questions and measurements right inside the app.
Is Bit & Grain for You?
If you’re a hobbyist who just wants to list tools, Bit & Grain can help—but if you’re a Small Shop Owner running a business, Bit & Grain is your most valuable asset.
It’s for the woodworker, the fabricator, and the custom builder who is tired of the "back-of-the-napkin" lifestyle. It’s for the person who wants to finish a week of hard work and see exactly how much profit they made, rather than just checking their bank balance.
