If you are weighing your options for a UAE or GCC tailoring, abaya or kandura shop, here is how TailorSync does the same job: measurements saved to the customer, custom orders with deposits and delivery dates, a counter POS with cash sessions, fabric stock with barcode labels, and FTA-compliant VAT invoicing in AED. Built in the UAE by a tailoring family with 30 years in the trade.
Free for 30 days. No card needed. Built for the UAE and GCC.
If you have landed here, you are probably weighing up a tailoring and alterations software before you settle on a system for your UAE or GCC business. We are not going to make claims about anyone else's product, and there is no point pretending we have tested every option. What we can do is two things: show you how TailorSync approaches the same job, and set out what is worth checking when you compare any tool for a Gulf tailoring, abaya or kandura shop. TailorSync is built in the UAE by the family behind a tailoring company with 30 years at the counter and in the workshop, so it models how the trade actually runs: measurements saved to the customer, custom orders with a deposit and a delivery date, a counter POS with cash sessions, fabric stock, and FTA-compliant VAT invoicing in AED. Read on for that, plus a short checklist you can take to any vendor.
Ring up walk-in and account sales, take a deposit or full payment, and print on 80mm thermal or A4/A5. Every till opens and closes on a cash session with a drawer count, so a busy Saturday still balances at the end of the day.
Book a bespoke abaya, kandura or alteration with an advance up front, a promised delivery date and an assigned tailor, then move it through production stages to collection. The balance owed shows on every order until it is settled.
Capture a customer's measurements once and reuse them on every future order, so a returning client is never measured twice. Measurements sit on the customer record rather than a single order, and stay on file for years.
Issue FTA-compliant tax invoices with your TRN, sequential gap-free numbering and the VAT amount shown, in AED by default. A return or a cancellation raises a linked tax credit note, so your VAT return still adds up without a manual fix.
Hold fabrics, trims and finished pieces as SKUs with cost, supplier and low-stock alerts, and print barcode labels so staff scan an item at the counter instead of hunting for a price. Stock value at cost is on the screen the moment you open it.
Run several branches under one account, each with its own till, stock and cash sessions, and read sales and receivables across all of them from one dashboard. Send a customer a WhatsApp link to their order and VAT invoice from your own number.
How it works
Confirm the software issues FTA-compliant tax invoices in AED, with your TRN, a sequential gap-free number and the VAT amount shown, and that a return or cancellation produces a proper credit note. This is the first thing a generic overseas till tends to get wrong.
Ask whether measurements are saved to the customer or only to one order. Saved to the customer, a regular reorders without being measured again. Saved to the order, someone re-keys the same figures every single time.
Follow a bespoke piece all the way through: measurements, a deposit at booking, a delivery date, production stages, and the balance on collection. A tool built for retail alone usually stumbles here, so put a real custom order through before you decide.
Look at whether the software suits an Arabic-market shop and how you reach support in your own timezone. A vendor several hours behind you, with no feel for how a Gulf tailor trades, costs you on the days you can least afford it.
If you are weighing TailorSync against another tailoring and alterations system, the honest answer is that it depends on your shop, so try both on your own orders before you decide. We will not make claims about anyone else's product. What we can say about TailorSync is that it is built in the UAE by a tailoring family with 30 years in the trade, it issues FTA-compliant VAT invoices in AED, it saves each customer's measurements for repeat orders, and it books custom orders with deposits and delivery dates. The free 30-day trial is there so you can put a real sale and a real custom order through it before you pay.
For a UAE or GCC shop, start with the things a generic retail till misses: FTA-compliant tax invoices in AED, measurements saved to the customer rather than to one order, a deposit-and-delivery-date workflow for custom work, and support you can reach in your own timezone. Then put a real custom order through a trial before you commit, because a morning of genuine use tells you more than any feature list.
TailorSync imports your customer list from an Excel template, so your client book and their details come across in one go, and you bring your open orders and stock in as you set up. The cleaner your existing customer, order and stock records are, the smoother it runs. The sensible approach is to start a trial, import a sample of your customers, and see how it lands before you switch over fully.
Yes. The same system runs abaya boutiques, kandura and thobe tailors, bespoke houses and alteration shops. Ready-to-wear sells through the POS, while made-to-measure abayas and kanduras are booked as custom orders with saved measurements, deposits and assigned tailors. When a customer likes a piece on the rail but wants it in their own size, you turn that stock item into a made-to-measure order at the counter.
Yes. There is a free 30-day trial with the full feature set and no card required, so you can run a real sale and a real custom order before deciding. After that, paid plans are Starter, Expansion and Enterprise, priced in AED, so a single shop can start small and move up as it adds users and branches.
Start a free 30-day trial, put a real sale and a real custom order through TailorSync, and compare it against any alternative on your own numbers. Built in the UAE by a tailoring family, with FTA VAT invoicing in AED.
