After 20 years of serving small to midsize bakeries across the US, BakeSmart has completely redesigned its software platform, transitioned to cloud technology, and updated its brand to reflect the next 20 years of service.

“Our cloud transition marks a new era for retail bakeries – and us,” said Mike Clements, chief executive officer of BakeSmart. “BakeSmart’s move to the cloud is more than just a software update—it’s a commitment to empowering retail bakeries with the tools they need to succeed. This is a game-changer for an industry that has long struggled with inflexible software options.”

BakeSmart streamlines operations, reduces costs, and manages everything from custom cake orders to daily production. Many of your local and loved bakery owners still manage their business with paper and pen because most business software is not tailored to a bakery’s unique needs. With BakeSmart, bakeries can take and process significantly more orders, ultimately increasing efficiency and profitability.

Why BakeSmart stands out:

Specialization in Custom Orders: Unlike competitors, BakeSmart is laser-focused on custom order management. This specialization allows BakeSmart to handle complex product configurations, pricing variations, and production scheduling with unmatched precision.

Complete eCommerce Integration: While other solutions may offer basic eCommerce integrations, BakeSmart delivers a fully integrated eCommerce experience for retail customers. This seamless integration ensures that every aspect of the order process—from online ordering to in-store sales and fulfillment—is synchronized, reducing errors and boosting efficiency.

Advanced Order Management: BakeSmart’s cloud-based platform will offer advanced order management capabilities that are specifically tailored for retail bakeries. This includes features like different lead times for products, automated production reporting, and detailed order tracking, ensuring that bakeries can manage high volumes of custom orders with ease.

Cutting-Edge Technology for a Superior User Experience: Built on the latest technologies, including the Laravel PHP framework and Next.js, BakeSmart’s new cloud platform will ensure faster, more reliable, and scalable performance.

This technology backbone allows for rapid deployment of updates and new features, keeping customers at the forefront of innovation without downtime.

As a leading software provider focusing exclusively on the unique needs of retail bakeries, BakeSmart is positioned to lead the market in efficiency, reliability, and customer satisfaction.

“Using BakeSmart to manage our bakery has been a total game changer. We can take and process significantly more orders. The POS and order management gives us a quick view into what’s coming up so we know how to prepare. And the integrated eCommerce opened a sales channel that costs very little to manage. Our customers love it, which I love! The move to the cloud will take our bakery to the next level,” comments Betty Slove from Lovin Oven Cakery, a BakeSmart customer.

In addition to an entirely redesigned platform and transition to cloud technology, BakeSmart has a new look and feel that accurately reflects the playfulness of baked goods with the bold commitment to be an all-in-one bakery management solution.

“For us, our updated product and brand marks our belief in our solution and our desire to be seen as a modern, premium solution for today’s bakery owners,” said Clements. “Bakeries bring joy to their customers. So why can’t the software bakery owners use bring them joy?”
