CloverBeeMaker

Built for small-batch businesses

Run the business behind what you make.

Inventory • Production • Orders • Sales • Expenses • Taxes

CloverBee Maker connects materials, recipes, production, inventory, orders, customers, payments and expenses so you can see what you have, what is committed, what things cost, what is due, and what the business is doing.

Maker 1.0 on iPhone

The real Maker 1.0 workflow

From today’s work to the sale history behind it.

These are genuine screens from the iPhone release build submitted to Apple—not mockups or concept art.

One workflow, end to end

From materials to money, without rebuilding the story.

01

Buy & receive

Record materials, suppliers, quantities, costs and taxes.

02

Recipe & make

Turn materials into finished goods with connected material costing.

03

Stock & reserve

See On Hand, Reserved and Available inventory before promising it twice.

04

Sell & deliver

Keep orders, delivery, customers and payment status together.

05

Understand it

Review costs, expenses, sales and tax records without rebuilding spreadsheets.

Core Maker

The day-to-day business lives in one place.

Free includes the core workflow. Paid adds team capacity, organization, documentation, reminders and deeper business analysis.

MAT

Materials & real costing

Track what you buy and use. Material cost, Recipe cost and material cost per finished unit are core Free features.

MAKE

Recipes & production

Record what goes into a product and turn those materials into finished inventory with batch history.

STK

Inventory that understands commitments

Separate physical On Hand stock from Reserved demand and the Available quantity you can still promise.

DUE

Orders & delivery

Track promised dates, partial fulfilment, paid-but-undelivered work and delivered-but-unpaid balances.

$

Sales & payments

Record cash, e-transfer, Square and other payments while keeping payment status separate from delivery status.

TAX

Tax-ready records

See tax collected and tax paid by configured tax type. Maker organizes the records; it does not provide tax advice.

YOU

Make Maker feel like yours

Add your own business logo so the app reflects your brand, not ours. Your logo appears inside Maker alongside your business name, helping the workspace feel like part of your business rather than generic software.

Three jars of CloverBee honey from the apiary where CloverBee Maker began Built from a real small business.

Our Story

Built because we needed it ourselves.

A couple of years ago, my wife and I started an apiary. We knew almost nothing about beekeeping, and by the time harvest season came, we realized that keeping the bees alive had been the easy part.

Selling honey, though? That got complicated. We had jars and orders and payments and deliveries. And every night my wife was untangling this long checklist just to figure out tomorrow.

We didn't need expensive software. We just needed something simple. So, I built it. The first version ran on our phones and a computer we had at home. It worked.

Then, friends and customers saw it and said some version of, “Wait, what is that?” We realized we weren't the only ones with this problem.

CloverBee Maker grew out of that moment. It's built for people who make and sell real things without turning a small business into another full-time job.

Maker Guide

Payments should feel like part of Maker

Square payment handoff is built into Maker 1.0.

Start from a Maker sale or order, send the exact CAD balance to Square Point of Sale, complete the payment in Square, and return to Maker. A validated success is recorded once and the Maker balance updates automatically.

Square remains the payment processor. Maker remains the source of truth for products, inventory, orders, customers and business records.

Square Point of Sale must be installed and configured separately.

Useful at tax time — even on Free

Keep the records while the year is happening.

Both plans can track tax collected on sales and tax paid on purchases and expenses by configured tax type. Free keeps the essential totals and business-data export; Paid adds source documents, deeper filters and accountant-oriented exports.

  • Tax collected by type
  • Tax paid by type
  • Recoverable/claimable records
  • Expense totals
  • Purchase history
  • Business data export

CloverBee Maker organizes business records; it does not determine legal tax eligibility or provide tax or accounting advice.

Free and Paid launch together

Start free. Pay when Maker starts saving more of your time.

Canadian launch pricing. One Maker app, one business account. No ads on Free or Paid.
