True Production Tracking, Not Just Inventory Adjustments
Most commerce platforms treat manufacturing as an afterthought—just subtract some stock and add some stock. Marketplace Labs understands how products are actually made.
Recipes That Understand Waste
Define exactly what goes into every product you make. Our BillOfMaterial system lets you specify components with precise quantities—and accounts for real-world wastage.
- Component Relationships
Link raw materials to finished goods with exact quantities per unit.
- Wastage Percentage
Set wastagePercentage per component to account for cutting losses, spillage, or defects.
- Automatic Calculations
Know exactly how much raw material you need for any production run, including waste buffer.

Production Orders aren't just stock adjustments—they're living documents that track the entire manufacturing process. From cutting to assembly to packaging, every step is recorded.
Status Workflow
Orders progress through stages: DRAFT → IN_PROGRESS → COMPLETED. Cancel at any point if needed.
Multi-Step Processes
Define production steps like cutting, sewing, and packaging. Each step can be tracked and timed independently.
Automatic Stock Movement
Components are allocated when production starts and consumed when complete. Finished goods are added to inventory automatically.
Know Who Did What, When
Every production step can be attributed to the staff member who performed it. Track productivity, identify bottlenecks, and maintain accountability.
- Actor Attribution
Record operatedByActorId for each production step. Know exactly who cut, assembled, or packaged each batch.
- Team Performance
Aggregate data to see which team members are most efficient at specific tasks.
