Many makers address keeping necessary records using a mix of in-house solutions and cloud-based commercial offerings that, together, address only *some* of the administrivia challenges every maker faces. But, what if there was software that: - Was made specifically for chocolate makers *by a chocolate maker* with more than 30 years working with and for some of the largest chocolate makers in the world? - Ran on your own computer (MacOS or Windows) with your data never leaving your computer, not saved in the cloud? - Could take into account the machinery you use, your recipes, and processes, and point out challenges? - Can not only track COGS but also model margins across *multiple* market channels? > What if the software could help you not only run your business more proftably, but also help you become a better chocolate maker? ### **Competitive Comparison Table** **ATLAS Features** ![](https://thechocolatelife.com/content/images/2026/04/Altlas_cmpetiticveComparisonMatrix.png) Runs on MacOS and Windows.
