Welt

Overview

Welt is the complete record system for a bespoke hand-welted shoemaking workshop, tracking each pair from measured foot to finished sole. It records every stage of production—clicking, closing, lasting, welting, bottoming and finishing—alongside craftsperson assignments and hours booked against estimate, while managing customer measurements, lasts, hides and repairs.

What you get

• Order progress tracking through clicking, closing, lasting, welting, bottoming and finishing stages
• Girth measurements in millimetres for both feet with left-right differences noted
• Last library for 1,240 customers with build-up and rasping records
• Hide management by tannery, tannage and substance, with clicking plans and waste against target
• Stitch counts per inch, heel builds, patina and finishing schedules
• Repairs, re-soles and aftercare logged against original orders
• Customer portal showing the make ladder, measurements, last adjustment history and fittings awaiting approval

The signature screen

The core production view displays each order as a modular grid of hairline panels, showing measurement diagrams and craftsperson assignments with hours booked at each stage. Signal red highlights flags and items requiring attention, organized in a Swiss-Basel systematic sheet style that makes bottlenecks and approval gaps immediately visible.

Who it's for

Bespoke hand-welted shoemaking workshops managing custom orders, and their customers who need visibility into the make process and approval milestones.
