Tailoring and garment making

From quote to delivery for tailoring and garment making

Uniform orders are tracked by size in separate spreadsheets, and a few pieces are always missing at delivery.

What changes

Define the model once — garment type, fabric, sizes — and reuse it on every order.

Cutting, sewing and fitting are tracked stages, not assumptions.

Personalisation (embroidery, logos) is priced in automatically.

Your stages, ready configured

The account starts with these production stages. Change them any time from Settings.

  1. 1Patterning
  2. 2Cutting
  3. 3Sewing

  5. 5Finishing
  6. 6Pressing

Every stage records who worked on it, and when.

What it looks like on the shop floor

The operator interface is not the manager’s. A worker does not see the whole company — they see their own queue and two buttons.

A tablet at the cutting table and one by the machines. The machinist signs in with a PIN and sees only the orders that have reached their stage, with the pattern, the fabric and the measurements. Rush jobs are flagged, so priority stops being decided by whoever shouted loudest.

A tablet in the workshop, a PIN for each person

You do not need a computer at every station. A cheap tablet on the wall, next to the machine, is enough.

  1. The operator signs in with a four-digit PIN — no email, no password typed with dirty hands.
  2. They see only the jobs that reached their stage. Nobody has to tell them what is next.
  3. Two buttons: “In progress” when they start, “Done” when they finish.
  4. The job moves to the next stage on its own and appears in the next person’s list.
  5. The system records who worked and at what time — no handwritten timesheet.

Order status, live

On an order for 40 uniforms you can see how many are cut, sewn and finished — so you know on Tuesday whether Friday's delivery is realistic, instead of finding out on Friday morning.

Every order, with the stage it has reached

A concrete example

Forty uniforms for a restaurant. The model is already in the system, you add the sizes, and the workshop sees exactly what to cut and sew.

Four things you will notice immediately

  • The pattern is defined once, with fabric, measurements and finishing, and the next run starts from it.
  • Price per piece comes from your own grid, per fabric, so silk and cotton stop being quoted the same.
  • Fittings are stages in the flow, with a date and a person.
  • On a production run you can see exactly how many pieces cleared each stage, not just "nearly there".

Your customers can see their own orders and invoices

Every customer can be given an account. They sign in at the same address you do and see exactly what concerns them — their orders, the stage each one has reached, the quotes they were sent, and their invoices including anything unpaid.

  • They see only their own orders and documents — never another customer’s.
  • They can download a quote or an invoice as a PDF instead of calling you for a copy.
  • They see the stage each order has reached — the same information you see.
  • The account is optional: a customer with no email address stays in the register, simply without access.

What if that customer already has an account with another company?

One email address has exactly one account across the whole platform — that is what makes signing in unambiguous. If the address is already in use by another company, the app tells you so plainly when you save, and you have two options: use a different address for this customer (the contact person who deals with you, for instance), or leave the field empty — the customer stays in your register, with orders and invoices, just without app access. Your data is never visible to the other company.

What it does

Reusable templates

Define a product once — with your trade’s own fields — and run any number of orders from it.

Your own price grid

Operations down, variants across, a price in every cell. Quotes become consistent.

Production stages

Each order moves through your stages. Operators pick up and complete; the system records who and when.

Invoices and proformas

Automatic per-series numbering that never repeats. Outstanding balances in one click.

Production reporting

What was made, by whom, in what quantity, and where the flow is getting stuck.

Configured per trade

Fields, stages and the price grid arrive ready for the work you actually do.
