What is Ardent Seller? An all-in-one business platform for small-batch makers — multi-location inventory, recipes and production runs, purchases and sales, COGS and pricing, audit trail, and Schedule C–ready reports.
The Product Pricing Calculator makers actually use
A free Excel workbook that takes materials, labor, packaging, and platform fees in — and gives you a defensible retail price out. Plus a batch-pricing tab that shows what 50 vs. 10 actually costs.
Free, no email required.
