If you are weighing up one tailor and garment POS against another, this page gives you a UAE-built option and a plain checklist for judging any of them. TailorSync was built by a tailoring family with 30 years in the trade, so it runs the retail counter, custom orders and FTA VAT invoicing as one system rather than three.
Free for 30 days. No card needed. Built for the UAE and GCC.
If you searched for a tailor POS alternative, you probably run a tailoring or garment shop in the UAE or GCC and want to see how another system holds up. This page will not push you toward or away from any one product, because the only comparison that counts is how well a system fits the way your shop actually trades. So we will do two things instead. First, set out plain criteria for choosing tailoring software in the UAE and GCC. Then show what TailorSync does. It was built in the UAE by a tailoring family with 30 years in the trade, which is why it treats the counter, the workshop and the VAT return as one job instead of three separate tools.
Any counter tool can take a sale. What matters is whether it opens and closes a cash session with a drawer count, so you know what should be in the till at the end of the day. TailorSync runs every till on an open and close session with reconciliation, and prints receipts on 80mm thermal or A4.
A tailoring shop lives on made-to-order work, so the software has to book a bespoke order with a deposit, a delivery date and an assigned tailor, then carry the balance through to collection. TailorSync moves each order through production stages, with part-payments and the outstanding balance shown right on the order.
Look for measurements stored against the customer, not lost inside a single order, so a regular can reorder without being measured again. TailorSync keeps saved measurement profiles per client and pulls the right set onto every new order.
In the UAE the receipt has to be a proper tax invoice: your TRN, a unique sequential number with no gaps, the VAT amount shown, and totals in AED. Check this works on the first sale, not as a bolt-on. TailorSync issues FTA-compliant tax invoices on every sale, order and POS receipt, tax-inclusive or tax-added.
A tailoring shop sells fabric by the metre and stitching as a service, so stock has to handle both, not only boxed goods. TailorSync holds products with stock levels and low-stock alerts alongside stockless services such as stitching, and prints barcode labels for the shelf and the counter.
If you run more than one shop, or expect to, check the branches sit under one account with their own tills and stock. TailorSync does that, and it can also send a customer a WhatsApp link to their order and VAT invoice from your own number, so they track progress without a phone call.
How it works
Before comparing anything, list what you sell off the rail, what you make to order, and the alterations you take in. Whatever you pick has to cover all three, or one side ends up back in a paper book.
A feature list tells you little on its own. Put a genuine walk-in sale and a genuine custom order through the system yourself. TailorSync gives you a free 30-day trial with the full feature set, so an hour of real use is easy to arrange.
Ring up a sale and check the receipt is a proper FTA tax invoice in AED, with a sequential number and your TRN. Then run a return and confirm it produces a credit note rather than a quietly deleted record.
Ask how customers, measurements and stock come across, who gets which level of access, and whether more branches fit the plan you are on. TailorSync imports your customers, saves measurements per client, and runs role-based access and multi-branch from one account.
The honest answer is that the right fit depends on how your shop trades, not on any single label. What we can tell you is what TailorSync is: a UAE-built ERP and POS made by a tailoring family with 30 years in the trade, with FTA VAT invoices in AED, saved customer measurements, custom orders with deposits and delivery dates, stock for both products and services, and multi-branch under one account. The surest way to judge it is to run your own sales and orders through the free trial and see whether it beats what you use today.
Start with FTA-compliant tax invoices in AED, because that part is not optional here. Then check it books custom orders with deposits and delivery dates, saves each customer's measurements for repeat work, and runs the till on a cash session you can reconcile at close. If you sell fabric and stitching, make sure stock covers both products and services rather than boxed goods alone.
No. You bring across what matters most: your customers and their saved measurements, your products and services, and your suppliers. TailorSync stores measurements against each client, so past sizing stays on file, and you can start taking new orders straight away while older records are added over time.
Yes. It was built in the UAE by a tailoring family with 30 years in the trade, so the defaults suit the region: FTA-compliant VAT invoicing, AED as the standard currency, and a workflow shaped around kandura, abaya and alteration shops. It works across the wider GCC as well, so a shop in Saudi Arabia, Qatar or Oman is on the same footing.
Yes. There is a free 30-day trial with the full feature set and no card required, followed by Starter, Expansion and Enterprise plans priced in AED. Putting a system through your own real sales and orders before you pay is the best test of whether it is worth the switch.
