Can I run a tailoring business on Excel?

Excel can store data but cannot automate workflow stages, assign tasks to Karigars, generate payroll, track measurements per garment template, or print professional A4 barcode bills. Stitchline handles all of this for ₹15,000 lifetime.

Tailor Software vs
MS Excel

For 15 years, boutiques attempted to use Microsoft Excel columns to track body measurements. It usually ends in corrupted files and a frustrated Masterji.

Why Spreadsheets Break

Capability	Tailoring PWA (Stitchline)	Microsoft Excel
Mobile Data Entry	Native large touchscreen forms	Unreadable grids requiring pinching & zooming
Garment Variations	Dynamically loads fields (e.g. Lehenga vs Sherwani)	Fixed rigid columns causing blank cell errors
Karigar Mathematics	Pre-programmed Indian Piece-Rate algorithms	Requires writing complex SUM/VLOOKUP code

Who Should Choose What?

Choose Excel If:

You process fewer than 3 orders a month. You work completely from a stationary laptop. You are an expert at writing your own nested mathematical forumlas to determine labor payout taxes.

Choose Tailoring CRM If:

You process 25+ orders a day. Your staff operates entirely from their smartphones. You have multiple Karigars requiring unique wage structures, and you want to instantly SMS trial notifications upon garment completion.

Final Verdict

Excel is a spreadsheet, not a workflow. Stitchline ERP replaces your physical naap register and your worker ledgers natively from your mobile screen.

Ditch the Spreadsheets
