DRESS MEASUREMENT

Tailor Shop

Tailor Shop

Tailor Shop adds client contact details, orders, invoices, a fitting schedule and client messaging to Dress Measurement, so one app carries a job from the first measurement to the final payment.

Available on

  • iPhone
  • iPhone Duo
  • iPad
  • Android
  • Tailor Shop feature

The Tailor Shop tools described here are on iPhone, iPad and Android. On iPad the tabs are a sidebar on the left. On Android the tabs are a bar along the bottom of a phone, and a rail down the left on a tablet. On iPhone Duo, opened, the list sits beside the page, the tabs sit behind the sidebar button at the top left and the bar buttons move to a strip on the right; closed, it works like an iPhone with the buttons and the four tabs in a strip on the right. Tailor Shop is a subscription, with a monthly and a yearly plan and a free trial on the yearly plan. The App Store or Google Play shows the current price for your country, and the pricing page lists the plans. Size recommendations stay free on every plan.

What Tailor Shop adds to Dress Measurement

Tailor Shop keeps the measuring you already do and builds the rest of a workshop around it. Your profiles become clients with a phone number, an email address, a preferred channel, an address, a birthday and tags. Around those clients sit orders, invoices and a fitting schedule, plus a business profile whose name, logo and payment details print on everything a client receives.

  • Business profile: your shop name, tagline, logo and payment details.
  • Clients: contact fields, tags, sorting and deleting.
  • Orders: the job itself, with six stages from received to done.
  • Invoices: line items, tax, deposits, payments and a PDF to send.
  • Schedule: fittings grouped by day, with reminders.
  • Messaging clients: WhatsApp, SMS and email updates written for you.
  • Photos and notes: references and fitting notes on a client or an order.

How the four tabs fit together

With Tailor Shop on, the home grid becomes the Clients tab of a four-tab bar: Clients, Orders, Schedule and Invoices. The four are not separate ledgers. An order belongs to a client, an invoice belongs to an order, an appointment belongs to an order, and every message is sent from an order, so a piece of work stays joined up wherever you open it.

That is also why most jobs start on the Clients tab. If the client is not saved yet, save them first, then open their orders from their profile.

How a job runs from a new client to a paid invoice

The chain below is one pass through the whole suite. Each step opens the next screen with what it already knows filled in, so you rarely retype a name, a garment or an amount.

  1. On the Clients tab, tap the plus button and fill in the client. On Android, tap the gold + button at the bottom right of the Clients tab instead. Set a preferred channel while you are there, because every later message uses it, then tap the checkmark at the top right to save her.
  2. On her profile, tap the options button (three sliders) at the top right, then Client Orders, then the plus at the top right of the sheet. On Android, open the three-dot menu instead, and New Order is a gold button at the bottom of the sheet.
  3. The app moves to the Orders tab with the client already chosen. Type the garment, the order total and any deposit, then save.
  4. The saved order is the hub for the job: a six-stage status track, a next fitting card, an invoice card and a card for messaging the client.
  5. Tap Create invoice on the unpaid card. The garment becomes a line item, the tax rate and deposit come across from your settings and the order, and the balance is worked out for you.
  6. Tap Tap to schedule on the next fitting card, set the day, time, length and reminder, then save.
  7. Open the message card, pick the Fitting ready template, and the client’s name, garment and fitting date drop into the text.
  8. Check the Schedule tab. The fitting is already filed under the day it falls on.

What to set up before you take the first order

Three settings print on every invoice and receipt, so fill them in before you bill anyone: your business profile, your currency and your payment details. All three sit under Tailor Shop in App Settings, reached from the three-dot menu at the top right of the Clients tab. The business profile guide walks through them.

Your messaging defaults live in the same screen, under Notifications. They decide which channel a new message opens on and what the five ready-made updates say.
