Plain-language guides for tailoring, abaya and kandura shops in the UAE and GCC: order tracking, measurements, FTA VAT invoices, point of sale, inventory and more.
Orders
A practical guide to tracking custom tailoring orders from measurement to collection: order stages, per-garment progress, delivery dates and the balance owed.
Measurements
How to record and reuse customer measurements in a tailoring shop: named measurement sets, inches vs centimetres, an active set, and reuse on every order.
Payments
How tailoring shops take a deposit on a custom order and collect the balance on delivery: advances, part payments, the balance owed, and no overpayments.
Inventory
How to track fabric by the metre and trims by the piece in a tailoring shop: stock products vs stitching services, reorder alerts and stock value at cost.
VAT & invoicing
What a UAE tax invoice needs under FTA rules: your TRN, a unique sequential number, the VAT rate and amount, and totals in AED, plus how TailorSync handles it.
Credit notes
What a tax credit note is under UAE VAT, when you must issue one for a return, cancellation or price cut, and how TailorSync issues one automatically.
Multi-branch
Run a tailoring or retail business across branches on one system: each shop its own till and stock, shared clients and inventory when you want, one dashboard.
Getting started
A first-week checklist for setting up a tailoring shop in TailorSync: business details and VAT/TRN, branches, inventory, clients and your first order.
Point of sale
How a POS works at a tailoring or abaya shop counter: open a cash session, ring up sales, take a deposit on custom work, print the receipt, reconcile the drawer.
VAT & compliance
How a UAE tailoring or retail shop files its FTA VAT return: tax period, output tax minus input tax, the 28-day deadline, and how TailorSync gets the figures.
Pricing
A practical way to price bespoke tailoring: cost fabric by the metre, add trims, labour, overhead and your margin, keep prices consistent, and take a deposit.
Seasonal
How a Gulf abaya or tailoring shop plans for the Eid and Ramadan rush: realistic delivery cutoffs, a deposit on every order, and fabric reorder alerts.
Uniforms
How a tailoring shop wins and runs corporate uniform contracts: quote a bulk order, set a wholesale account on credit terms, and track the balance owed.
Getting started
Moving a tailoring shop off spreadsheets and paper order books: what to move first, importing your customer list from Excel, and running both side by side.
