Measurements, fittings, cutting and delivery kept on one order per garment.
Run a tailoring shop from one record per customer and one per garment. Measurements are saved once and reused on every later order. Each order carries its fabric, style details, trial date and promised delivery date, then moves through cutting, stitching, finishing and pressing. Tailors see their own pieces on a phone, and the counter sees the balance before a parcel is handed over.
- Your cutter’s own measurement fields and garment list, entered before the first order
- Existing customers, pending orders and balances moved in from the ledger book
- If a new garment or piece rate appears, ask us and our staff edit it for you
A tailoring shop with one counter or a full stitching room can keep every order in Tailoring Shop Management Software, which GullySystem configures around its garments. Each order holds the customer’s measurements, the fabric received, the style notes and the trial and delivery dates. Cutters and tailors see their pieces on a phone. Advances and alterations sit on the order.
What goes wrong before the software.
How the work flows through it, step by step.
- 1
Order taking
The customer is found by phone number, or a new record is made. Garment type, style notes, fabric source and the trial and delivery dates are entered, and the advance is taken. A slip is printed.
- 2
Measurement
The cutter records the measurements against the garment type, for instance chest, waist, shoulder, sleeve length and inseam. Posture notes and fit preferences are kept with them.
- 3
Cutting
Fabric is checked in, cut and tagged to the order number. Lining, buttons, zips and interfacing are issued from the shop shelves against the same order.
- 4
Stitching and trial
The piece goes to a tailor, and the trial fitting is booked. Changes asked for at the trial are written on the order and sent back for correction.
- 5
Finishing
Buttonholes, hems, pressing and tagging are marked done. The garment moves to the ready rail and the customer is told it can be collected. The slip follows.
- 6
Delivery and alteration
The balance is taken and the delivery slip is printed. A later alteration is opened as a small order linked to the original garment.
What is inside.
Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.
The business modules it is built from.
Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.
- Order Management
Each garment is booked with its style notes, fabric source and promised day, and the counter sees how many pieces are already due on that day.
- Appointment Scheduling
Trial slots are held against the cutter and the order, so a customer arrives for a fitting when the garment is basted and ready to try.
- Work Order Management
Every open garment sits on the board by stage with its tailor and days left, from cut and tagged through stitching to pressing.
- Stock Tracking and Alerts
Customer cloth is logged by length received and shelf items such as lining, zips and buttons are counted, with reorder levels for fast-moving shades.
- Payroll Management
Pieces completed at each garment’s rate are totalled per tailor and finisher, advances are subtracted, and the month’s payable is shown for approval.
- Receipts Management
The booking advance and later part payments are posted against the order, so the balance is already on screen when the customer comes to collect.
- Invoice Management
The invoice or delivery slip lists each garment, the amount paid and the balance, with tax settings reviewed during implementation.
- WhatsApp, SMS and Email Notifications
Trial reminders and ready notices leave on their own the moment the order’s status changes, over text, email or WhatsApp, with nobody at the counter typing them.
How we would put it in.
Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.
One system, each person sees their part.
For owners
Read orders due, overloaded days, tailor output, fabric on hand and unpaid balances without walking through the stitching room.
At the counter
Take the order, the advance and the measurements, promise a date that the board can carry, and print the slip at collection.
For master cutters
Record measurements, cut against the order number, and mark changes asked for at the trial fitting.
For tailors and finishers
Open the pieces assigned for the day on a phone and mark each stage done, which also fills the piece-rate count.
The numbers the owner asks for.
- Orders due by day, with the garment count per tailor
- Garments late against the promised date, by stage
- Customer fabric received, cut and returned as leftover
- Pieces completed by each tailor and finisher, with the rate and advances
- Unpaid balances by customer, oldest delivery first
- Alterations opened, charged and closed by garment type
- Lining, buttons and zips below reorder level
Who this is built for.
- Menswear tailoring shops that stitch shirts, trousers, suits and jackets to measure
- Womenswear tailoring shops that make blouses, dresses and skirts
- Shops with a back room of several tailors paid by the piece
- Tailors who take school, hospital or office uniform orders
- Alteration counters attached to a cloth shop or a dry cleaner
When it is not the right choice.
- A single tailor who works from home on a handful of orders can keep a measurement book and a diary.
- Garment factories that stitch for export on production lines will find Garment Manufacturing Software closer.

Questions owners ask before a demo.
Is this for menswear tailoring, womenswear tailoring or both?
Both. Each garment type has its own measurement fields and stages, so a blouse with a hook-and-eye finish and a suit with a canvas lining are tracked the way each is made.
Can a customer’s measurements be reused?
Yes. Each set of figures is filed under the customer and the garment, such as a shirt or a trouser. At the next order the cutter sees the last set, adjusts what has changed, and the earlier figures stay on file.
What if the customer brings their own cloth?
The length received is logged at booking and the leftover after cutting is noted against the order. At delivery the customer can see what was used and what is returned.
Can we promise delivery dates without overloading the tailors?
Yes, because the counter sees how many garments are already due on each day against the capacity you set. A Friday wedding rush is visible before another suit is promised for it.
How are tailors paid by the piece?
Every stage marked done adds a piece to that person’s count at the rate for that garment. Advances are subtracted, and the month’s payable is shown for you to confirm.
Can alterations after delivery be handled?
Yes. An alteration is opened as a linked job on the original order, with the change asked for and any charge, and it is closed when the garment is returned.
Can school uniform orders be managed?
Yes. The order holds a size list by student or class, delivery in batches, and one invoice at the end, while each uniform piece still passes through cutting and stitching.
Can we move our order book across?
Pending orders, customer names, saved measurements and unpaid balances are copied across from the order book or sheet you keep, and counter staff go through them before opening day.
Who owns the customer measurements and records?
You do. The way measurement and order records can be exported is written into the quotation, so you know it before work begins.
What does the quote depend on?
Counters, tailors and the range of garments you stitch all shape the quote. We first run a demo using your own garment list, and the proposal is written after you have seen it.
