Textile. Design. Size. Color. Position. Decoration. Many people involved. Many systems. Many handoffs. And somewhere in between: gaps where information gets lost. Smake bridges these gaps. An ID accompanies each product throughout the entire process – from receipt to printing or embroidery to inspection and shipping – in a way that is consistently traceable and real-time.
Understanding — we listen before we configure.
Trust — Real-world testimonials, not just from a brochure.
Experience — A live glimpse into your context, not our environment.
Smake wasn't created to solve just another software problem. Smake emerged from a world where processes are complex, jobs pass through many stages, and information must be available exactly when it's needed.
Our roots lie in textile decoration, fulfillment, and manufacturing. That’s where we learned what happens when systems don’t communicate with each other, information gets lost, or processes only work because people know what to do next.
That's exactly what we wanted to change.
We develop software that doesn't ignore complex workflows—it understands them. It connects processes, systems, and stakeholders, turning many individual steps into a clear, traceable workflow.
After all, growth rarely makes processes any easier.
More orders. More variants. More stakeholders. More interfaces.
What works at first eventually becomes complex.
Smake creates the connection between these worlds. From the order to production to fulfillment. Information is available where it is needed. Processes remain traceable. And from individual work steps a system is created that can grow with the company.
We don't believe in off-the-shelf software.
We believe in truly understanding processes.
That is why our work does not begin with a function. It begins with a question:
How does a company actually work?
Only when we understand the connections can we digitize them effectively.
Today, we’re developing Smake for companies that need more than just individual tools and siloed solutions. For companies whose processes are interconnected—and whose software should be, too.
Our goal is not to hide complexity.
Our goal is to make them manageable.
Smake. Make it scalable.
Want to join in?
We're looking for people who not only understand processes but also want to improve them.
Order managementBoring? Not with us.An order is rarely just a number.Products, designs, sizes, colors, decorations, files and individual requirements belong together. Smake makes sure they stay together.Whether the order originates from a shop, an interface, or directly within the system: all information flows together centrally and is uniquely associated.An order ID connects everything that is related together – across departments, systems, and individual process steps.This way, everyone knows at all times what they are working on. And every order remains traceable from the first entry point until the finished result.In goes an order. Out comes a cool number.Seriously? Yes. Down to the last shirt.Production is constantly in motion.Orders come in, textiles move from station to station, work steps get done. Smake shows what is happening where, right now.Each scan automatically updates the status. This makes it possible to see at any time which order is currently running, which station has already been completed, and what is next in the queue.And not just for the order as a whole: thanks to the unique ID, every single textile stays visible throughout the process – from goods receipt to shipping.This means that any delays or deviations are immediately apparent. Instead of having to ask questions or search through lists, Smake shows the current status directly in the system.What’s running? Smake knows.Each textile has its own IDWho are you again? Ah, right.Every textile gets its own “identity” at goods receipt.A QR code links each individual piece to its order – including design, size, color and all planned work steps.At each station, a scan is performed. Smake thus knows which textile is currently available, what should be done with it, and what step is next in the process.This way, the right design and the right file end up on the right textile. Mix-ups are avoided and every work step stays clearly assigned.From goods receipt to shipping, every piece keeps its identity – and Smake keeps the overview.Nothing gets lost here.Transparency & ReportingNumbers don’t lie. Neither do shirts.What is going well? Where are the bottlenecks? What is selling well?Smake transforms the data from ongoing production into usable information. Orders, quantities, sales, and shipping can be evaluated centrally – without having to search through lists or use Excel.It’s not just about the big picture. The journey of every single textile stays traceable too: who did which step, at which station, and when?This results in analyses for production and sales, while at the same time providing a complete history of the actual processes.From revenue per shop down to the individual shirt, Smake delivers the information that really helps.Everything in. Everything on. Everything traceable.System IntegrationImpossible? Not with us!Smake integrates into existing structures, rather than replacing them.Shops, customer systems, shipping providers and production machines can be connected via open interfaces. Smake stays vendor-independent – different systems and machines can work together in one workflow.Order data, production information, and files are automatically routed to where they are needed. Existing processes are not disrupted; instead, they are intelligently connected to one another.Your systems. Your machines. One workflow.Safe ProductionGet it wrong? Not with us.Scan instead of searching, matching or reading job tickets.At each station, Smake recognizes the textile and knows what needs to be done next. Work instructions are immediately available; the appropriate production file is automatically transferred to the correct machine.This turns many individual work steps into a safely guided process. Wrong design, wrong file or a skipped production step? Smake makes sure it never gets that far.And because all the information is available digitally where it is needed, production can run completely paperless.Scan. Do.
