How To Track A Tailoring Business
Boutiques often fail because they track sales, but fail to track labor costs and wasted fabric. Follow this 5-step checklist to gain complete operational control.
Separate Custom from Retail
Never mix your readymade sales revenue with your custom-stitching labor income. They have different profit margins. Track them in two separate ledgers.
Track Karigar Defect Rates
Labor runs the shop. Record exactly which tailor requires the most alterations per week. Fire workers who constantly ruin costly premium fabrics during cutting.
Monitor Pending Trials
A completed garment is not revenue until the final balance is paid. Track every "Pending Trial" date aggressively. Force customers to arrive on time via SMS alerts.
Log Daily Cash Advances
Workers frequently request micro-loans (₹100 for lunch, ₹500 for travel). Log every single cash advance on the exact day. Deduct it automatically from their weekend payout.
Automate with Stitchline
Doing this manually across 50 orders a week is impossible. Stitchline ERP does this automatically running as a PWA on your mobile phone.
