Can I use Stitchline offline?

Yes, our Desktop Edition works entirely offline without an internet connection.

How can software actually help me manage tailoring orders?

Tailoring software digitizes your entire workflow. Instead of using paper books that get lost, software allows you to instantly log client measurements, assign specific production tasks to your workers, track the garment through cutting and stitching stages, and automatically send your customer an invoice via WhatsApp when the suit is ready.

What order-management features are available?

Stitchline provides end-to-end order management. You can track multiple items within a single order, monitor received, in-progress, completed, and delivered statuses, manage multi-garment trials, and track payment and pending balances automatically.

Can I check live order status without calling my workshop?

Yes. With Stitchline's Cloud Edition, you can instantly log in from your mobile phone or tablet to see exactly which garments are in the cutting, embroidery, or final stitching phase, completely eliminating the need to constantly call your master tailors.

How secure is my business and customer data?

Extremely secure. Our Cloud platform utilizes AWS enterprise-grade encryption.

Can I manage multiple shop locations and franchise businesses?

Yes. Stitchline's cloud architecture is built for multi-branch scaling. You can manage a front-facing retail boutique in New York and a centralized production workshop in New Jersey from the exact same unified dashboard, tracking orders as they move between locations.

Does it support multiple trials for a single order?

Absolutely. Bespoke tailoring often requires multiple basted fittings. Stitchline allows you to track multiple trial dates, record specific alteration notes for each fitting, and update the customer's master measurement profile based on the final trial.

Can I manage raw materials and trims?

Yes. Stitchline features robust fabric and accessory inventory management. You can track fabric rolls by the meter or yard, and manage trims like buttons, zippers, and linings, ensuring your workshop never runs out of crucial supplies.

How do I group customers for bulk tailoring orders like school uniforms?

Stitchline features powerful 'Customer Tags' to manage groups easily. For example, if you are a uniform shop tailoring for 100 students from 'St. Jude High School', you can attach the same school tag to all 100 profiles. You can also use tags for 'Bridal Party 2024' or 'Corporate VIPs' to filter and manage bulk orders instantly.

Can I track how a new customer found my tailor shop?

Yes, our Reference Field allows you to track exactly where your marketing works best. You can mark a customer as referred by an 'Instagram Reel', 'Facebook Ad', or even input the name of an existing customer who referred them. This is excellent for tracking your boutique's growth.

How do I transition old pending balances when moving to Stitchline?

When you create a new customer profile, you can input a 'Pending Starting Balance'. This seamlessly brings over any past debts or unpaid dues from your old paper ledgers directly into their new digital customer ledger, ensuring you never lose track of money owed.

How comprehensive is the customer search feature?

Extremely fast and comprehensive. You can instantly search your entire database using a customer's Phone Number, First/Last Name, their unique Customer ID, or even their Reference Field to pull up their profile in milliseconds.

Can I store customer birthdates for marketing?

Yes, you can log customer birthdates in their CRM profile. This allows you to track VIP birthdays and send them personalized tailoring offers or SMS greetings, which dramatically improves customer retention.

Does the software support tailoring for women and kids?

Absolutely. Stitchline is a unified platform for Men, Women, and Kids. You can easily create separate garment types and measurement profiles for each gender. Whether you are tailoring a men's bespoke tuxedo, a women's bridal gown, a traditional sherwani, or kids' school uniforms, it handles it all.

Can I track measurements separately for different garments?

Yes. Stitchline allows you to manage measurements separately for every single garment type. You can have one detailed measurement profile for a bespoke suit, a different one for a tailored shirt, and another for cultural wear like an Abaya, Thobe, or Kandura—all stored perfectly under one customer.

Can I configure specific garment styling options like pocket types?

Yes, our Advanced Styling Options allow you to create your own custom styles. When taking measurements, you can select specific stylistic choices from your custom drop-downs—for example, choosing between a 'Double Pocket', 'Side Pocket', 'Front Pocket', or 'Back Pocket' for a pair of trousers.

Can I view past measurements and update them later?

Yes. Whenever a customer places a new order, you can instantly view their exact past measurements for that specific garment. If they have gained or lost weight, you can easily update the new measurements and save a revised profile.

How does the order management workflow operate?

Stitchline features a comprehensive stage-wise Order Manager. You can update an order's status seamlessly from 'In Progress' to 'Completed' to 'Delivered'. You can search past orders by custom date ranges, and reprint the cutting slip or customer receipt at any time after the order is created.

How do I track my tailor shop's daily expenses and income?

Stitchline includes a complete Finance Ledger. Beyond just tracking garment sales, you can track daily operational expenses. You can create your own custom income and expense categories, allowing you to log everything from 'Shop Rent' and 'Electricity Bill' to 'Fabric Inventory Purchases' and 'Sewing Machine Maintenance'.

Can I track payments made via UPI, Cash, or Bank Transfer separately?

Yes, our Finance Ledger tracks revenue according to the exact payment method used. You can create custom payment methods (e.g., Google Pay, UPI, Savings Bank Account, Cash). This allows you to see exactly how much income and expense flowed through each specific channel perfectly organized.

How do I track a customer's individual payment history?

Every customer has their own dedicated Customer Ledger. This tracks every transaction they have ever made with your boutique. You can instantly view when they paid, how much they paid, and their exact lifetime pending vs. paid metrics.

How do I calculate salary for my master tailors and craftsmen?

Stitchline completely automates staff payroll. It supports both Fixed Salary and Task-Based (Piece-Rate) calculations. If a craftsman is paid per garment, the software automatically calculates their earnings based on the exact work they complete in the system.

Can my staff log in on their mobile phones?

Yes! Stitchline features Role-Based Permissions. You can create dedicated staff accounts so craftsmen can log in securely from their own smartphones. They will only see the specific tasks assigned to them, along with their automatically calculated daily earnings.

How do I track paid and pending salaries for my employees?

The Payroll module keeps a flawless ledger for every staff member. You can see their full details, track exactly how much salary has been disbursed, and see their live pending salary balance based on completed work.

Can I restrict what my staff can see or edit?

Absolutely. Using our permission engine, you can ensure that a cutting master only sees garment measurements and cutting tasks, while restricting them from viewing your boutique's overall financial ledgers or downloading your entire customer database.

Can I use Stitchline if my tailor shop is in the UK, USA, or Middle East?

Can I issue invoices in my local currency like AED, GBP, or USD?

Can I customize the software for foreign languages or regional garments?

Yes! Because every single measurement field and garment type in Stitchline is 100% customizable, you can easily rename fields into Arabic, French, or Spanish. You can also create highly specific regional garments, such as Middle Eastern Kanduras, Thobes, or Abayas, alongside standard Western suits.

Are date and time formats adjustable for my country?

Yes, you can configure your dashboard and printed invoices to display dates in DD/MM/YYYY (the standard in the UK, Australia, and Middle East) or MM/DD/YYYY (the standard in the USA), eliminating any confusion on order delivery dates.

You can run your entire workshop, manage local currencies (like Naira or Rand), and calculate piece-rate staff payroll with zero internet connection.

How does the Offline Windows Desktop Edition work without internet?

Can I upgrade from Desktop to Cloud later if I open more branches?
