Retail and distribution · Software for home furnishing stores

Follow each window from measurement to stitching, fitting and final payment.

Home furnishing stores sell fabric by the running metre, blinds by the square foot and made-to-measure curtains that pass through a measurer, a tailor and a fitter before payment. One paper slip carries the whole job. The measurement sheet becomes a quotation, a stitching order and a fitting job, with fabric stock, pelmets and part payments tracked beside it.

At a glance

A curtain order is not a counter sale. It is a site visit, a measurement, a quotation, a tailoring job and an installation, which can be a month apart from end to end.

The software follows each window from measurement to fitting, with one record per window. The counter, tailoring unit and fitters then work from the same sheet.

How the work runs today

A customer picks a design from the shade cards and sample books, often after taking several home, and asks for a quote. The measurer visits, notes each window’s width, drop, track type and pleat style on a slip, and the counter works out running metres, lining, tracks and stitching charges. Roller and Roman blinds, sofa upholstery, wallpaper and mattresses each price differently.

Fabric is ordered from the distributor by shade and design number, then cut for the tailor and sent with a job slip. On a promised date the fitter puts up rods or tracks and hangs the curtains, if the stitching has come back in time. Advance and balance go into a book, and the tailor and fitter are paid weekly.

Where it breaks

What goes wrong for home furnishing stores without a proper system.

Curtains come short

Measurements are copied from a slip onto a job card by hand, and a drop is misread. The fabric is then wasted.

Fabric orders are mixed up

Design numbers on the shade card look alike, the wrong shade arrives, and the customer has already paid the advance. The customer waits again.

Jobs with the tailor are not visible

Twenty orders are out for stitching, and the only way to check is to call the tailoring unit. Each call interrupts the tailor.

Balance payments are forgotten

The fitter hangs the curtains, the customer says she will pay tomorrow, and nobody follows up. Cash stays outstanding.

What the software does

What we would build for home furnishing stores.

Named the way your team already talks about the work. We start with whichever part the audit shows is costing you most.

Window-wise measurement sheet

Record room, width, drop, track or rod, pleat style and lining for each window on a phone at the site. This sheet is built around the product during implementation.

Quotation by running metre

Work out running metres of fabric and lining from the measurements, with tracks, pelmets, stitching and fitting charges added.

Fabric orders by design number

Place orders to distributors with design, shade and metres, and check them against what arrives. The product does not hold purchases, so this part is built around it.

Stitching and fitting jobs

Schedule fitting dates with the crew from the order. Tailor job cards and their charges are added during implementation.

Advance and balance tracker

Track each order’s advance, balance and reminder, with a tax invoice raised when the job closes.

Common questions

Questions home furnishing stores ask before they call.

Will our accountant still use their own software?

Yes. No accounting package is built in. The books and tax filing stay with your accountant, who confirms the local rules. An export of invoices and receipts can be added during set-up, as a separately priced item.

We also sell wallpaper and mattresses. Is a normal retail billing app enough?

For ready-made items like cushions, towels and mattresses, yes. Made-to-measure curtains and blinds are where it falls short, since a billing app does not record the windows, the drops or the fabric chosen for each.

Is there a ready product to start from?

Yes. We begin from the furniture showroom management software, which already handles the catalogue with fabric options, custom orders, advances, balances and fitting dates. The window-wise measurement sheet, running-metre quote and tailor job cards are built around it.

Can the measurer use it on a phone?

Yes, and that is where we start. The sheet is built for a phone held at the customer’s window. Bring last month’s measurement slips when you share your requirements.

What goes into pricing a furnishing store system?

Showrooms, measurers, tailors and fitters using it, plus the fabric and design lists to load, shape the figure, while a link to your accountant’s software is quoted separately. Once the measurement sheet has been seen, a quotation arrives with each part priced individually.

What should a furnishing store have ready?

Bring a window-wise measurement sheet, a running-metre quotation, a fabric order by design number, a stitching slip and an advance receipt. Please set aside a measurer and the person who handles the tailor to go over the screens, so what appears matches how a measurement becomes a stitching slip.

Who owns our orders and measurements if we leave?

Measurements, stitching jobs and payment balances stay with the store, with the code. Export to plain files is available any time you want. A single team supports the system, and a change to a screen goes straight to the people who built it. Servers are hosted by GullySystem, or by the store if it would rather.

What happens after I share my requirements?

An engineer reads what you send and replies within one business day. We then look at the software, spreadsheets and WhatsApp groups your business runs on today and write down what works, what slows your team down and what is missing. A demo login, a screen-share or a few screenshots are enough. You get a short written summary ordered by priority, with no obligation to hire us afterwards.

How much will the software cost?

We don’t publish a price, because it depends on what the system has to do. That first review settles the scope, and the cost goes into a written proposal before any work starts.
