No accounting package
Leave the books to your accountant — that's their job. Prodexa gives them accurate cost and profit figures to work from.
Why Prodexa is different
A different deal for small producers
Most tools for makers charge every month, forever, and keep your recipes on their servers. Prodexa takes the opposite approach: a Windows desktop program you buy once for £59, install on your own PC, and own — working offline, with your data staying with you. Try it free for 60 days first.
The idea
Own your tools, don't rent them
Chocolatiers, bakers, soap and candle makers, skincare brands and other small producers need clear costs, traceable batches and tidy records — but rarely need (or can justify) a subscription platform built for larger companies. Prodexa was built around a simple question: what if the essential tools could be sold at a price a small business could actually live with, and owned outright?
Stop subscribing and you've still got your program. Your recipes, costs and suppliers are your livelihood — with Prodexa they live on your computer and don't vanish the month you stop paying.
Focused by design
What Prodexa deliberately leaves out — and why that's good for you
Prodexa does a few things thoroughly rather than everything thinly. Each thing it leaves out is a deliberate choice that keeps it simple, private and affordable.
No multi-user or team mode
Built for the person at the bench, not a team of fifteen. One powerful tool for the maker who actually makes.
No cloud or phone app
You work at a workbench, not in a browser tab. Everything runs on your Windows PC, and your data stays there — private and offline.
No shop or channel integrations
Sales channels come and go. Your costing and records shouldn't depend on whichever platform you used this year.
Why only £59?
Built lean — carefully
Software like this normally needs investors and a sizeable engineering team, paid every month from subscription revenue — which is why it's priced every month. Prodexa's cost base is different, so its price can be too.
1
Built with modern AI development tools
A small team using AI-assisted coding and testing produced a capable program without a large, expensive software house behind it.
2
Shaped by real production experience
It's built around how a small producer actually works day to day — ingredients, stock lots, batches, costing, labels and sales — not around an abstract feature list.
3
Tested module by module
Stock entry, batch creation, pricing, sales, labels and licensing are each checked carefully before release. Lower cost to build does not mean lower care.
4
No investors, no platform to fund
Nothing to repay and no cloud servers to pay for every month — so the program can be a one-off £59 instead of a recurring bill.
Behind the software
Built by a maker who needed it
Prodexa was designed by a practising chocolatier who needed exactly this kind of software and couldn't find it at a price that made sense for a small business. The person who built it was using a workbench, tracking ingredient lots, printing labels and trying to work out whether each batch was actually profitable — so every screen reflects how that actually works in practice.
That background is why Prodexa tracks deliveries as separate lots with expiry dates, not just a running total. Why it generates batch codes automatically from product and date. Why labels, allergens, costs and traceability all live in the same program. And why it costs £59 once — because the person who built it remembered what it felt like to be charged a monthly fee for a tool they used a few times a week.
Honest fit guide
Is Prodexa right for you?
Prodexa does specific things well. Here is a plain-English guide to whether it suits your situation.
Good fit if you…
Make products in batches from a recipe — food, cosmetics, candles, soap, skincare, preserves or similar. Work primarily on Windows, on your own or with one other person. Want to own your software outright rather than pay monthly. Need to track ingredient lots, batch records, product costs and printed labels.
Probably not right if you…
Need mobile apps, browser access from multiple devices, or simultaneous access for a larger team. Need direct integration with Shopify, Xero, QuickBooks or similar platforms. Run a larger operation that needs a full ERP or production-planning system.
It still does everything you'd expect
Suppliers, ingredients, stock, recipes, products, batches, costing, labels, sales and a performance dashboard — all joined up in one app. See it all on the features page, or try it free for 60 days.
