Software for tailoring and clothing repair: work orders, quotes, measurements

Updated Sep 16, 2026· 7 min read

A tailor shop or repair workshop doesn't run on "appointments" — it runs on orders that move from intake to pickup. That's why you need a work-order board, not just a calendar. The ready-made MCC service tracks work orders through stages, stores item measurements and photos, calculates a quote with client approval, writes off hardware from stock, and prints a receipt — all under your own brand.

A work-order board instead of a notebook

Every order is a work order that moves through stages: received, diagnosis, awaiting parts, in progress, ready, delivered. You see the entire workshop on one board: what's in progress, what's waiting on hardware, what's ready for pickup. Nothing gets lost, and any staff member can see the status of any order.

Item card, measurements, and photos

Each work order is linked to an item card (coat, dress, shoes) with a description, measurements, and photos. Measurements are stored in the order, not on a scrap of paper; photos record the item's condition at intake — which ends disputes like "that damage was already there."

Warranty. At pickup you can issue a warranty on the work with an expiration date — it's stored in the system and pulled up automatically if the client comes back.

A quote with client approval

Before work begins, the client should see the price. MCC generates a quote with line items (labor + parts), sends it to the client, who then approves it online by confirming their full name. The approved quote turns into an invoice — no more "we never agreed to that amount" disputes.

Hardware stock and staff payouts

Zippers, buttons, thread, fabric — that's stock that gets written off into work orders. And staff pay works the same way as in a salon: commission or seat rental, with a transparent payout statement. This way the owner sees both the cost of materials and each employee's earnings.

Status updates for clients and receipt printing

When an order moves to "Ready," the client can automatically get a message (email, or Telegram if you have a bot) that the item is ready for pickup. At intake, a work-order receipt prints out listing the work and the total. An online order form on your website lets you take requests before the visit even happens.
