SyncBooks for manufacturers and bakeries
Know what each product really costs to make
From a bakery's flour and sugar to a factory's raw materials: set up your recipes once, run work orders, and SyncBooks takes the materials from stock and works out the true cost of every batch.
Free plan, no credit card needed.
Sound familiar?
- You set prices without knowing the real cost per unit
- Raw materials run out in the middle of production
- Stock records never match what is on the shelves
- Labour and overheads are never counted in the cost
What SyncBooks does for you
Recipes and bills of materials
List the materials, quantities and units for each product. Bags, kilograms and litres are converted for you.
Work orders
Plan, start and finish production runs. Materials come out of stock when the work starts.
Batches and expiry dates
Materials are taken earliest expiry first, and every finished batch is traceable.
Cost per unit
Materials, labour, overheads and subcontract work are added up, so you see the real cost of every batch.
Material planning
See which materials you need to buy or make before you run out.
Quality checks and by-products
Record inspections, receive goods in lots, and count by-products and scrap.

Questions
Is it only for big factories?
No. It works the same for a small bakery, a soap maker, a furniture workshop or a large factory. Start with a few recipes and add more as you go.
Can I use different units for buying and using materials?
Yes. Buy flour by the bag and use it by the kilogram; the conversion is set once on the product or the recipe.
Does it update my accounts?
Yes. Materials used, labour, overheads and finished goods all post to your books, so stock and cost of sales are always right.
