An Etsy order's totals: what the buyer paid, then what the marketplace took, line by line — transaction fee, shipping transaction fee, listing fee, payment processing fee and shipping label.

How it works

From inventory coming in to profit you can trust

Pick the way your business works, and follow one real item through Intakes — what it cost at every step, and what it left you.

Finished goods, mixed lots, pallets, storage units, estate goods, thrifted inventory, or ordinary wholesale stock.

What it looks like in Intakes

I buy and resell

Sell before you finish counting — without pretending the cost is final.

  • A storage unit, a pallet or an auction lot, recorded as one purchase at the price you paid, while the contents are still being counted.
  • The purchase says how much of that price is still to be spread over what you have not counted yet.
  • List and sell as you unpack; a sale from an unfinished lot marks its profit provisional.
  • When the purchase closes, the price spreads across everything you found, including what already sold.

The numbers are true because every cost stays with the inventory.

Purchase cost, freight, fees, packaging, and write-offs land where they belong.

Receive, prepare, shelve, reserve, sell, and correct stock without losing its history.

See profit you can trust

Who’s behind it

Built inside real businesses. Engineered to grow with yours.

Intakes began as the system behind three very different businesses of our own — none of which the usual inventory software fit. It is designed and built by a software architect with two decades of experience building large systems, and it still runs our own stock every day. It has grown from that into a platform for any business that buys, makes and sells, from one person to a warehouse team, and it keeps growing every week.

  • Built inside real businesses

    Three, each working differently.

  • Engineered to last

    Two decades of building large systems.

  • Independent

    Self-funded, no investors to answer to.

  • Shipping every week

    Every release in the changelog.

  • Built in Minnesota, USA

    By Clean Code LLC, a US company. Your data is hosted in the United States.

  • Open to sellers anywhere

    In English, with your books in your own currency.
