Candle making inventory software
Candle making inventory software has to track raw materials, not just finished candles. Assemblified builds a multi-level bill of materials for wax, wick, fragrance, jar, and label, auto-deducts every component when a candle sells, and calculates true per-candle cost across material, labour, and overhead. Connect Logistified to forecast and reorder those materials.
The inventory challenges
- Wax, wick, fragrance oil, jars, and labels are separate raw materials that each have to be tracked and reordered.
- Per-unit COGS is hard to pin down when several materials plus labour go into every candle.
- Batch production means you pour many candles at once and need to draw down components accurately.
- Selling a finished candle should reduce raw-material stock, but plain inventory tools don't make that link.
Build a multi-level BOM for every candle
In Assemblified, each candle is a bill of materials listing its wax, wick, fragrance, jar, and label, with infinite nesting if a component is itself assembled. Automatic component stock sync means that when a candle sells, every raw material in its recipe is deducted at once — so on-hand counts for wax and jars stay accurate without manual adjustments.
Know true per-candle cost
True cost calculation rolls up material, labour, and overhead into an accurate per-candle COGS, instead of guessing from the wax price alone. Because the cost is built from the BOM, repricing a fragrance or jar flows straight through to the candles that use it, so your margins stay honest as supplier prices move.
Pour in batches with work orders, then plan supply
Work orders and build runs let you pour candles in batches and pull components in one step, with QC and rework on the Enhanced plan, and pre-assembled inventory pools to hold finished stock ready to ship. Connect Logistified and it forecasts raw-material demand and can auto-create supplier purchase orders, so you reorder wax and jars before a pour stalls.

Frequently asked
Does selling a candle reduce my raw-material stock?
Yes. Each candle is a bill of materials, so when it sells Assemblified automatically deducts the wax, wick, fragrance, jar, and label defined in its recipe.
How is per-candle cost calculated?
True cost calculation combines material, labour, and overhead from the BOM into an accurate per-candle COGS that updates as component prices change.
Can it forecast and reorder my materials?
Connect Logistified and it forecasts raw-material demand from your sales and can automatically create supplier purchase orders for components like wax and jars.
