Tailor & Boutique Order Book

About the Tailor & Boutique Order Book

An order book for a tailor’s shop or a boutique that runs in your browser and keeps everything on your own device. Each customer has a card of measurements for every garment you make for them — shirt, trousers, suit, kurta, salwar, blouse, lehenga or your own — in inches or centimetres, with your own extra fields, fit notes and an optional photo. Each order holds its garments with style and fabric notes and prices, the trial and delivery dates, the advance and later payments, the stitching status and the tailor making it.

Today lists what is overdue, due today, the trials of today and tomorrow and the orders ready to collect. Make an order slip for the customer and a measurement card for the workshop — on a 58 or 80 mm thermal roll or A5, printed with a pass or an unlock — and send each customer one WhatsApp or SMS message — order ready, trial, balance due — that opens with the text ready and that you send yourself. Reports count the work by status and by tailor, and list deliveries and balances due. Backups are encrypted, and your own data downloads as CSV. In the free preview the order book works in full; slips, cards and report sheets show as marked page images, and the reports show their counts and first rows; a Pro pass unlocks their PDFs, printing and phone pictures.

Common uses

• A tailor’s shop taking orders at the counter and printing a slip for each customer.
• A boutique keeping every customer’s blouse, kurta and lehenga measurements for repeat orders.
• A workshop handing measurement cards to its tailors and tracking who is making what.
• Reminding customers of a trial or a ready order without typing each message.

Measurements for every garment

Each garment has its usual measurements: a shirt’s length, chest, waist, seat, shoulder, sleeve, sleeve round, cuff and collar; trousers’ length, waist, seat, thigh, knee, bottom and rise; a blouse’s bust, under bust, armhole and front and back neck depths, and so on for suits, kurtas, salwars and lehengas. Add your own fields to every card of a garment under Settings, or to one card only. Measurements are kept as you write them — 38½, 38 1/2 or 97 — with the card’s unit and the day it was measured.

Orders, trials and deliveries

An order moves from Received to Cutting, Stitching, Trial, Ready and Delivered (or Cancelled). Today shows the orders late for delivery, those due today, the trials of today and tomorrow and those ready to collect, with the days left or late. The order’s balance is its total — quantity × price, less any discount — minus the advance and every later payment.

Slips and cards on thermal rolls or A5

The order slip gives the customer the order number, the dates, the garments with their prices, what was paid and the balance due. The measurement card gives the workshop the customer’s measurements for one garment, the fit notes and the style and fabric notes of the order. Both are made for 58 mm and 80 mm thermal rolls exactly as long as their content, or for A5 paper; a thermal printer prints them through the browser’s print dialog with its own driver.

Messages you send yourself

From an order, WhatsApp opens a chat with that one customer with your message ready, using WhatsApp’s click-to-chat links (WhatsApp Help Center); SMS opens your messages app the same way. You read it and press Send. Nothing is ever sent from this page, and there is no sending to many customers at once. Change the wording under Settings → Messages: {name}, {order}, {trial}, {balance} and the other placeholders fill in by themselves.

Your data stays on this device

The order book is kept in this browser’s storage (IndexedDB) on this device and is never uploaded. With a passcode every record is stored encrypted (AES-256-GCM) and the book locks itself after the minutes you choose; the encrypted backup is one file you keep and restore on another device. A customer’s photo is optional: ask before you take one. Nobody can recover a lost passcode or backup passphrase.

Limitations

• One device: the order book lives in one browser and does not sync. Move it with the encrypted backup.
• Messages are never sent automatically or to many customers at once: each one opens WhatsApp or SMS for you to send.
• Slips are order slips, not tax invoices; use an invoice generator for a tax invoice.
• A thermal printer prints through the browser’s print dialog, so it needs its driver installed.

Privacy

On this device; its files download once

Customers’ names, phone numbers, measurements, photos and orders stay in this browser on your device (IndexedDB), encrypted when you set a passcode. Slips, cards and reports are made on the device, and backups are encrypted on the device. Nothing is uploaded.
