Several months ago, I had the opportunity to use a database software called Bead Manager Pro. This software is specifically for jewelry makers. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional, Bead Manager Pro is the best program I have found that delivers what it promises. Bead Manager Pro is flexible enough for other types of handcrafted items as well.

I worked with the software for several months then decided to write a second review. The first review covered the basics and my first impression. Since then, I started tracking my sewing and quilting items as well as my jewelry and discovered, this software works great for both. It enables me to track both categories separately so there was never any mixing of the 2 inventories. The inventory I have amazes me. I quickly find out how many yards of each cloth I have and I have in each item I make.

With my chainmail, I can now see how many rings I have, what metal, what clasp and even the weight of the metal used. Now that I know how much I have invested, I can get accurate product pricing all my sales.

I give this software 5 out of 5 stars. Taking control of your expenses is important whether hobby or business.
