Manufacturing & raw inventory
Track every raw material, packaging component, inbound freight, outbound freight, and production cost, then roll it all into each finished good to calculate your true landed cost. KovaBatch automates copacker production runs by consuming the bill of materials when the final production bill is received, giving you an accurate landed cost down to the individual unit.
KovaBatch plugs into KovaBooks, already synced with your Shopify store, so inventory and costs land straight in your books.
Stock starts with purchase orders. Write POs for raw goods and packaging, and receiving them builds your inventory.
Light batch production, not heavyweight manufacturing. Runs consume packaging into finished goods, then send stock to the 3PL of your choice.
A true landed cost per unit, inbound and outbound freight included. Use it with consumption, or entirely on its own.
01 · Connected
KovaBatch plugs into KovaBooks, which is already synced with your Shopify store, so there's no second system to reconcile. Raw goods and packaging live in KovaBatch warehouses your storefront never has to know about, while finished goods tie back to your real Shopify catalog. Receipts, batch runs, and costs land in your books automatically, and finished stock can be sent on to the 3PL of your choice.
02 · Copacker production
This is where most tools stop and KovaBatch keeps going. A copacker is just a vendor with a manufacturing warehouse: write them a production PO, and when you reconcile it, the bill of materials backflushes automatically. Raw materials are consumed at the copacker and finished goods are received at your destination, your warehouse or your 3PL, in one atomic step. The making of your product lives in the system, not a spreadsheet.
03 · Landed cost
Cost rolls up through the bill of materials: each raw material priced from your most recent purchase order, then vendor cost, then standard cost. Inbound freight is allocated to each unit as landed cost, and a multi-pack counts every unit inside it. You see real margin per unit, and a missing cost is flagged instead of quietly counted as zero.
Straight talk
Today, finished-good cost is live: it rolls up from your most recent PO prices, so a raw-cost change updates the rollup everywhere, including historical views. A frozen snapshot at production time, so old margins stay put forever, is being built now.
No lot numbers, batch codes, or expiration (FEFO) tracking today. If you need batch-level traceability for dated or perishable goods, KovaBatch isn't there yet. That's the honest answer, and it's on the roadmap.
By design, not omission. No work orders, routings, WIP states, capacity scheduling, or cycle counts. A production run is a PO you write and reconcile; if you need a shop-floor system, you need different software, and we'll say so.
No demand forecasting, supplier scorecards, or barcode/scanner integration. Reorder points alert you; they don't auto-order. Forecasting is the most-requested next step, so it's planned, not promised.
Built for makers
Purchase orders for raw goods, production runs at your copacker, and a true landed cost per unit, wired into the same system that runs your store, your channels, and your books.
