Stop managing spreadsheets.
Start selling kits.
KitForge tracks inventory at the component level, generates product content, and publishes newsletters automatically — so you can stop reconciling stock counts and start running your business.
Generic tools don't understand kit businesses
Shopify tracks SKUs. Your spreadsheet tracks components. Mailchimp doesn't know what's in stock. Nothing talks to each other — and you're stuck in the middle.
Stockouts you never saw coming
A kit needs 40 components. When three run low, the whole kit is unsellable — but generic platforms won't tell you until a customer has already ordered.
Hours lost to reconciliation
Every restock means updating the spreadsheet, checking Shopify, manually adjusting bundle availability. One formula error and it cascades.
Newsletters that never get sent
Your customers want frequent updates on restocks and new arrivals. But writing product copy after a long day packing orders is the first thing that gets skipped.
The problem is documented: Multi-piece kit workflows require tightly integrated order and warehouse management systems to maintain real-time visibility and precise inventory control — infrastructure a solo founder running a model railroad shop cannot afford or configure from Shopify's app store.

One system. Component-level tracking. Automated publishing.
KitForge connects what generic tools can't: real-time inventory awareness and automated content generation.
Component-level inventory
KitForge understands that a kit isn't a single SKU — it's 40 components. Track every piece across all your kits. Get alerts before stockouts happen, not after.
Automated content generation
A restock arrives. KitForge writes the email, schedules it, and sends it — in your brand voice. No manual drafting. No staring at a blank Mailchimp screen.
Hours returned every week
You didn't start your business to spend evenings reconciling spreadsheets. KitForge handles the operational and publishing work so you can focus on what matters.
How it works

The wedge is inventory. The product is time.
A founder who has lost sales to a stockout will pay immediately for a system that prevents the next one. But the durable value is what happens after: hours returned every week.

50–500 SKUs. 1–3 staff. Currently managing inventory in spreadsheets.
Shopify handles transactions but doesn't understand component-level kits.
Mailchimp sends emails but has no awareness of inventory.
Katana/Cin7 track components but are built for warehouses, not 2-person shops.
No tool on the market connects component-level inventory to automated content publishing.
"The people who build model railroad kits, miniature wargaming sets, and craft bundles didn't start their businesses to spend evenings reconciling component counts or staring at a blank Mailchimp draft. They started because they love the craft and know their customers. KitForge gives them that time back."
