Overview

Learn what Artist Management Studios does and how it can help your creative business.

What is AMS?

Artist Management Studios (AMS) is a business management platform built specifically for artists, makers, and creative entrepreneurs. It brings together inventory management, retail operations, marketing tools, and business analytics into a single application so you can spend less time on admin and more time creating.

Core Features

  • Inventory Management — Track your raw materials (components), build products with calculated pricing, and manage your full product catalog.
  • Retail Operations — Manage retailer relationships, create and track orders, record sales transactions, and share an online catalog via the Retail Portal.
  • Events — Track events you participate in including dates, locations, fees, and sales results.
  • Marketing — Manage leads, podcast and collaboration opportunities, and outreach history to grow your business.
  • Business Management — Configure your business properties, track recurring expenses, manage team members, assign tasks, and set revenue goals.
  • Support — Submit support tickets directly from the app and track their resolution.

Where to start

New here? Add things in this order. Each step uses the one before it.

  1. Components — the materials you make your work from. Click + Add Component.
  2. Products — what you sell. AMS works out the cost from your components. Click + Add Product.
  3. Sales — what you sold. On an empty Sales page, click Record your first sale.

A page with nothing on it yet tells you what goes there, with a button to add your first one.

Who is AMS For?

AMS is designed for small creative businesses that sell handmade or artisan products. Whether you sell jewelry, ceramics, candles, art prints, or any other handcrafted goods, AMS provides the tools to manage the business side of your craft. It works well for:

  • Solo artists managing everything themselves
  • Small teams where the owner needs to delegate and track tasks
  • Businesses that sell through multiple channels (wholesale, consignment, events, online)
