Most small producers in Mexico have no idea whether they’re actually making money. They know their sales numbers. They feel busy. But the real cost of every candle poured, every empanada baked, every soap bar wrapped? That stays a mystery, buried somewhere between supplier receipts and gut feelings. It’s a quiet, slow drain that keeps talented makers working harder for less.
Abakont is a financial control app built specifically for this problem. Created in Mexico, it automatically calculates the exact cost of every product you make using real ingredient prices and a weighted average inventory system. When your flour supplier raises prices on a Tuesday morning, your production costs update instantly. No spreadsheet formulas. No accountant on call. Just accurate numbers, right there on your phone.
It launched recently on Product Hunt, and the pitch from founder Josué Venegas is refreshingly direct: most finance apps track your sales, but Abakont tells you if those sales are actually profitable. That single distinction is what makes it worth paying attention to.
Key Features of Abakont
Automatic Production Cost Calculation
This is the core feature, and it genuinely does something most tools skip entirely. You enter your recipe or formula once: the ingredients, the quantities, the labor time, the packaging. Abakont then calculates the exact cost per unit produced. When material prices change after a new purchase, the system updates costs using weighted average pricing. You never have to recalculate manually after a supplier price hike.
Real-Time Profit Margin Tracking
The dashboard shows your actual profit margin per product, updated the moment you log a sale. Monthly and annual graphs give you a clear picture of which products are carrying your business and which ones are quietly eating into it. No end-of-month surprise. You know where you stand right now.
Automatic Inventory Management
Every sale, purchase, or production run updates your inventory automatically. The app tracks both raw materials and finished goods. You can use your phone’s camera as a barcode scanner instead of buying separate hardware. Stock levels stay current across all devices simultaneously.
Mobile Point of Sale with Debt Tracking
Abakont doubles as a digital point of sale you can run from any phone or tablet. It also lets you record who owes you money and why, directly from the sales screen. Useful for markets, pop-up stalls, or any situation where customers pay later.
How Valentina Used Abakont to Stop Selling at a Loss
Valentina runs a small soap business from her home in Guadalajara. Every Saturday morning, around 9 a.m., she sets up at a local market and moves about 40 to 60 bars per session. She had been pricing her soaps at $45 pesos each based on a rough mental estimate of what the oils, colorants, and molds cost her.
A friend suggested she try Abakont before her next batch. On a Thursday evening, she signed in with her Google account, created a producer profile, and entered her lavender soap recipe: the base oils, essential oils, lye, colorant, mold liner, and roughly 12 minutes of active labor per bar. The process took under ten minutes.
The result stopped her cold. Abakont calculated her real cost per bar at $38.70 pesos, once labor was factored in properly. She had been making less than $7 pesos per unit on a product that took real time and materials to produce. At that Saturday’s market, she adjusted her price to $60 pesos. Sales held steady. By the end of the morning she had logged $2,400 pesos in actual profit, compared to the $280 she would have technically cleared at her old price. The numbers were right there on her phone the whole time.
How Abakont Works: Three Steps to Clarity
Step 1: Create Your Profile
Sign up with Google and choose your business type. Abakont supports four profiles: Producer (you make things), Merchant (you resell), Services/Freelancer, and Personal Finance. One account can hold up to five separate profiles, so you can track multiple ventures without mixing numbers.
Step 2: Add Your Products and Recipes
For producers, this is where the magic happens. Enter each product’s recipe: which materials it uses, how much of each, and how much labor goes into it. You do this once. From that point forward, every production run pulls costs automatically based on current material prices in your inventory.
Step 3: Log Sales, Purchases, and Expenses
Three actions cover everything: Sold, Spent, Bought. Each entry updates your dashboard in real time. Inventory adjusts automatically. Your actual profit for the day, week, or month is always visible without any manual calculations on your part.
Abakont Pricing
Abakont runs on a single plan with full access to every feature. All prices are in Mexican pesos, and there is a temporary 40% discount active at the time of writing:
