Reduce the mental load of what to make next

MakeQ turns demand, inventory, and materials into a clear plan for what to make, buy, and ship next.

Start with an account, then connect Shopify when your team is ready.

01What do we make today?

A clear daily plan built from live orders -- not yesterday's spreadsheet.

02Do we have what we need?

Materials, parts, and purchasing status in one view so shortages don't surprise you.

03When can we actually ship?

Ship dates tied to real shop conditions, not guesswork.

One screen for what to make next

MakeQ turns live Shopify demand into a daily operating view the team can actually use. Instead of bouncing between orders, spreadsheets, and inventory notes, you can see what needs attention now, what changed, and what to do next.

  • See the next work, blockers, and refresh status in one place.
  • Keep planning tied to current orders instead of stale handoffs.
  • Give the team a clear starting point every day.

Shopify demand

See the order pressure before it becomes chaos

Orders stay visible inside MakeQ with urgency, sync status, and context the team can act on. That means less time translating storefront activity into internal priorities and more time making the right decisions sooner.

Structure and materials

Tie products to the work and parts behind them

Product structure, materials, and purchasing readiness live close to the plan. When parts or timing change, the team can see the impact before shortages turn into missed dates and rushed decisions.

Made by makers, for makers

We use MakeQ to run our own shop. It replaced the spreadsheets we were using to figure out what to make, what to buy, and when to ship.
