Tailoring software for Sharjah workshops and tailor shops

When the customer brings the fabric

Around Rolla and the older souq areas, many customers buy cloth from a textile shop and walk it over to a tailor. That changes the job. The fabric is not yours, so it should not leave your stock, and it should be recorded so nobody mixes it up.

• Mark the garment as customer-supplied fabric, and the order does not draw on your stock.
• One order holds several garments, each with its own due date and stage, so a family order of kanduras or shalwar suits can go out in parts.
• Measurements are saved as a dated set for each garment, so next season's order starts from the last one.
• A drop-off photo records the cloth that came in, and a handover photo and signature record what went out.

A workshop that supplies shops in other emirates

Some businesses cut and stitch in Sharjah and sell in Dubai or Ajman. Tailoq follows the stock across that gap. Plan a batch by size and see the materials it needs before you cut. When the batch is done, its pieces are tagged and enter stock. Send them to a shop as a transfer, and the shop checks what arrived. A short delivery shows as Short, and stock in transit is counted apart from the rack and the back room.

Each shop then sees its own stock by size, and on the Boutique with a workshop preset, by length as well. Reorder suggestions weigh recent sales by size against stock and running batches.

Uniform runs for schools and companies

Uniforms are batch work with a quoted price. The Uniforms preset runs Order placed, Sizing, Cutting, Stitching, Logo embroidery, Packing, Ready. It has no QC stage, so add one where you check.

• At QC, reject pieces by size and quantity. The rejects split away and return to the stage you choose, while the good pieces carry on.
• Logo embroidery sent to a vendor sits in the Outside lane with its date and cost. If 60 go out and 58 come back, the 2 are logged as vendor wastage.
• Cost per piece comes from issued fabric and trims, bench hours and outside work, so you can check the price you quoted.

Selling uniforms to companies matters for UAE e-invoicing, which covers business-to-business sales from 2027. Tailoq is not an Accredited Service Provider today, and connecting to ASPs is on our roadmap, so plan a provider for these sales. Read our UAE e-invoicing guide.

Abaya workshops and hand work

An embellished abaya can carry more money in beads and crystals than in fabric. Tailoq issues crepe by the metre, beads and sequins by the gram and crystals by the piece, and leftovers come back as a return. Wastage is logged with a reason, such as cutting error, beading loss or stain, with its value by reason and by person.

The Boutique with a workshop preset runs Confirmed, Cutting, Stitching, Embroidery, Finishing, QC, Ready. Add stages such as Beading/crystals or Pressing in Settings if your abayas need them. See the full example on our abaya, kandura and thobe page.

The workshop floor

Workshop teams in Sharjah often mix languages. The workshop screen shows in each person's own language, with big Start, Pause and Done buttons, so one tablet at the bench can serve everyone. Operators can request material from the screen instead of walking to the store, report a problem, or add a photo of a panel for a second opinion. Job tickets can still be printed and pinned to the work.

Tailoq works out 30-day pay by salary, piece rate or commission, and artisan output shows who made what. The CSV export is not a WPS file, so your bank or exchange process stays as it is.
