HOW IT WORKS

Orders and production, side by side.

Most studios juggle two kinds of work. Orders are made for someone: a commission, a wholesale order, a custom piece. Production is what you make ahead, to restock your shop or get ready for a market. Eccolo keeps track of both, from one shared inventory.

ORDERSSOMEONE’S WAITING

Wholesale, commissions and custom work

There’s a person on the other end, and they’ve usually paid a deposit. Orders get the deadlines, the payments and the client updates.

  1. 1An inquiry or order comes in
  2. 2Quote it and take a deposit
  3. 3Pull pieces from stock or make what’s missing
  4. 4Your client checks progress in their portal
  5. 5Final payment, ship it, archive it

PRODUCTIONTHE DAY-TO-DAY

Restocks, markets and busy seasons

The steady making that keeps the business going: restocking your web shop and studio, getting ready for a market, building up for the holidays.

  1. 1Set a goal and a deadline, like 50 wallets by Nov 14
  2. 2Pull what’s already on the shelf
  3. 3Tap Made + for every piece you finish
  4. 4Materials come off your stock as you go
  5. 5Add the finished pieces to your inventory

INVENTORY · SHARED BY BOTH

One stock count for everything. Orders set pieces aside, production refills the shelf, and Available tells you what’s really free to sell.

PRODUCTION & INVENTORY

Watch every batch come together.

Making the same piece fifty times is the job. Eccolo makes the progress visible: tap Made + for each one and watch the bar fill toward your goal.

  • Goals you can seeSet how many you need, pull what’s already on the shelf, and the rest is your to-make count.
  • Materials take care of themselvesGive a piece its bill of materials and every Made + takes the clay, glaze or leather out of stock.
  • On hand, reserved, availableOrders set pieces aside so you never promise the same wallet twice. Available is what you can still sell.
  • Know what to make nextA shop orders 20 card holders and you have 12? Eccolo shows 8 to make and puts it on your Today list.

FAQ

Good questions

What is Eccolo?

Eccolo is studio management software for independent makers. It runs both sides of a studio in one place: orders, from wholesale to custom commissions, and the production runs that keep your shop and shelves stocked.

Does Eccolo handle production, or just custom orders?

Both. Orders track quotes, deposits, payments and client updates. Production runs track batches for restocks, markets and busy seasons. They share one inventory, so you always know what’s free to sell and what you still need to make.

Who is Eccolo for?

Solo makers and small studios who take commissions and sell at shows: ceramicists, jewelers, leatherworkers, woodworkers, designers, upholsterers, artists, and anyone making by hand.

How much does Eccolo cost?

Studio is $15/month, or $12/month billed annually. Studio Pro is $24/month, or $20/month billed annually. Every plan starts with a 30-day free trial.

What are the limits on Studio?

Studio includes 10 active orders, 10 active productions, 50 clients, 100 finished items, 100 raw materials, 50 archived orders and productions, and 50 transactions in total, not per month or year (invoices, payment requests, logged payments and expenses). Studio Pro is unlimited. Nothing is ever deleted. If you have more than Studio allows, say after a busy trial, your newest items stay editable and the oldest extras become read-only until you make room or move to Studio Pro. Transactions never lock; at 50, new ones pause until you move to Studio Pro or delete old ones.

Do my clients need an account?

No. Clients get a private link to their order, protected by a password you set.

What’s up with the name Eccolo?

Eccolo (EH-ko-lo) is Italian for “here it is!” It’s what you say when you finally find the thing. So when you’re wondering where that purchase order your client sent you two weeks ago went: eccolo, it’s right there on the order.
