Tailoring Shop Management Software: A Complete Guide

Tailoring shop management software runs the shop from taking the customer's order to handing over the finished piece: a permanent measurement file for each customer, measurement templates for each garment type, status tracking for every order, delivery dates and customer reminders, invoices and payments, and reports, for men's and women's tailoring. This guide explains what a tailoring shop needs from such software, how to choose the right one, and the features of the tailoring shop management system in Mazoon ERP.

Everyday problems in tailoring shops

• Lost measurements: the measurement book gets damaged or lost, so customers are measured again for every order.
• Late deliveries nobody notices until the customer turns up.
• "Where's my order?": nobody knows whether the piece is being sewn, ironed or ready.
• Deposits and balances: a deposit, then more payments, and the balance on each order is hard to see.
• Verbal tailoring notes that get forgotten between the counter and the tailor.

What does a tailoring shop need from the software?

Measurements

• A permanent measurement file for each customer, used automatically for any new order without measuring again.
• A measurement template for each garment type, such as a thobe or dress, with its own fields and a reference image.
• Marking measurements on a garment drawing with numbered marks and notes.
• A printed measurement sheet with the drawing, marks and notes, ready to hand to the tailor.

Orders and delivery

• Tracking each order from "new" to "delivered", through sewing and ironing, with a record of every change.
• A dashboard of orders due within 5 days, and a list of overdue orders.
• An automatic WhatsApp message to every customer whose delivery is today or tomorrow, from a number in your shop's name.

Invoices and branches

• Several payments on the same invoice, with the balance calculated automatically and a receipt for each payment.
• Invoice approval with a separate permission, and an automatic accounting entry for every invoice and payment.
• Multi-branch support: each user sees their own branch's data according to their permissions.
• Reports on orders by status, revenue by service, and amounts collected and outstanding.

Why specialised software rather than general accounting software?

General accounting software can issue an invoice, but it doesn't know the customer's measurements, the thobe template, the piece's status in the workshop or its delivery date. The shop keeps measurements in a notebook and orders on paper. Specialised software links measurements to the customer, the order to the measurements and the invoice to the order, and reminds the customer of the delivery date.

How to choose software for your shop

1. Does it keep customer measurements for every new order?
2. Does it support measurement templates for your garments? Thobe, dishdasha, dress, abaya.
3. Does it track order status and delivery dates?
4. Does it handle deposits, payments and balances?
5. Does it remind customers of delivery dates?
6. Does it work on phone and tablet? For the counter and the tailor.

Does it suit both men's and women's tailoring?

Does the software need installing on the shop's computers?

No. It's a cloud system that runs in the browser, so you sign in with the same account from any device.

How are customers reminded of delivery dates?

The system sends an automatic WhatsApp message to every customer whose delivery is today or tomorrow, from a WhatsApp Business number in your shop's name.

Can a customer pay for an order in instalments?

Yes. You record several payments on the same invoice, the balance is calculated automatically, and each payment gets a printed receipt.
