The short version
A notebook, a spreadsheet and your phone cost nothing, and every customer already texts and DMs. But costs stop updating when prices change, orders get buried in messages, and studies of audited spreadsheets find errors in most of them. Sentralbee keeps costs, orders, production and payments connected.
Where Spreadsheets is the better choice
You work alone, take a few orders a month, and zero cost matters more than saving time.
Where Sentralbee fits
- You make products to order, and every order is a little different.
- You want to know what each piece really costs before you quote.
- Your customers order by Instagram DM, text, WhatsApp or email.
- You have a team, and need to see every order at every stage.
- You take deposits and want to know who still owes you.
