How Private Label and Contract Manufacturers Usually Work Today
Specs are in shared drives. Agreements are PDFs. Order histories are in emails. Access control is by trust.
Where the Gaps Show Up
- Confidential material sits close together.
- Order and agreement history is scattered.
- Client-by-client reporting is manual.
How It Works on Crittiks
Each brand client gets its own record:
- Client records keep agreements, documents and communication separate.
- Confidentiality: NDAs and agreements signed electronically.
- Portal: each client sees only their own material.
- Projects for new product development.
- Invoicing per client.
Separation is structural, not a matter of discipline.
What Crittiks Doesn’t Do
Limits:
- No production planning, quality management or batch tracking.
- No inventory.
- Crittiks does not provide legal protection of IP; it organises records.
Who This Fits
Small contract manufacturers with a handful of brand clients.
Where Crittiks Fits, and Where It Doesn’t
Crittiks is an operating system for small service businesses: Sales, Projects, Communications, Finance, Admin and AI on one client record, with a client portal and two-way Xero and QuickBooks sync. Pro is $99.95 a month for up to 8 seats; Platinum is $139.95 for up to 15, and annual billing saves 20%. It does not provide dispatch, inventory, payroll or a general ledger, and Crittiks Marketing has not launched. If software for contract manufacturers is mainly about one of those, a specialist tool may serve you better.
Test It Against Your Own Work
Reading about software for contract manufacturers only goes so far. The Crittiks 14-day trial needs a card to start but charges nothing during the trial. Use it on one live client: create the record, send a quote, attach the contract, set up the project and raise an invoice. Note every moment you reach for another tool. Those moments tell you whether a single workspace fits how you work, and what you would still keep outside it.
