Your working inventory is other people's property — capes and hides in the freezer, each attached to a customer, a deposit, and a spot in a queue that runs six to eighteen months. Losing track isn't an inventory problem, it's a reputation problem. MadeKeeper keeps the queue, the deposits, and the per-mount costs straight.
The app is live. Free during the pilot. Founding rate $19/mo, locked for life.
No card to start. Use it free through the pilot, and lock the $19/mo founding rate for as long as you stay.
Say you take in a whitetail shoulder mount:
At a $650 commission with a $200 deposit down, the job clears $439.75 before your hours — and the queue view shows every other mount waiting, whose it is, and what's already paid.
MadeKeeper keeps the intake, customer, and species records that state license paperwork asks about — in the app instead of a carbon-copy book.
Materials and true cost per piece, products (in bulk or one-of-a-kind), sales that drain stock, the was-this-fair-worth-it event math, mileage, expenses, and the year-end tax packet — all in the app today. Etsy and Square sync, your own storefront, a booth card reader, and shipping labels are building, shaped with founding makers. Nothing above describes a feature that doesn't exist without saying so.

Yes — that's the core of it. Client property logs with the owner, the date, and the job it belongs to, separate from your own materials. You always know whose cape is in the freezer and which mount it's promised to.
Log the deposit when the job books; the remaining balance stays attached to the mount. When it's finished, you know exactly what's owed — and your year-end numbers show deposits and completions honestly.
It keeps the records — who brought what, when, species, and disposition — organized and exportable. What your state requires and how you file it stays between you and your regs book.
