Billing software for tailoring and garment shops in Ghana

Most tailoring work in Ghana is paid in parts — a deposit at measurement, the balance at collection. When that only exists in an exercise book, garments walk out of the shop with balances unpaid and nobody notices until the month ends. Chasing those small amounts weeks later is awkward and usually unsuccessful.

Lace, kente, wax print and linings come in different widths and you buy in yards or metres, but you cut in pieces. Without a running count you over-order fabric that sits for a year, or you promise a client a style and discover mid-week that the material has finished.

Funerals, weddings and Christmas all land at once, and a single missed fitting date damages a reputation built over years. When orders are tracked on scraps of paper and WhatsApp messages, it is almost impossible to see at a glance what is due this week and what is still uncut.

Once a shop crosses the GHS 750,000 taxable supplies threshold for goods, registration and monthly filing become real obligations, and GRA's E-VAT system expects proper invoices rather than handwritten ones. Rebuilding a year of sales from receipts in a polythene bag is where most owners lose their evenings.

Ring up a job at the counter in a few taps, take a deposit of any amount, and Tallium AI holds the outstanding balance against that customer automatically. Cash, card and mobile money are recorded as separate payment methods, so your daily takings reconcile properly, and any staff member can see who still owes what before a garment leaves the shop.

Hold each fabric as its own item in your chosen unit — yards, metres or pieces — with cost and selling price. Stock drops the moment it is billed or issued to a job, low-stock alerts warn you before a favourite lace finishes, and you can see which materials actually turn over versus which are tying up your cash on the shelf.

Each customer record keeps their full history — past styles, prices paid, notes and measurements you record against the order — so a returning client is served in seconds. Orders carry due dates, so you can pull up what is due this week and plan your cutting and machining around the funeral and wedding rush instead of reacting to it.

Sales, expenses and payments post to your accounts as they happen, receipts are scanned and categorised by AI, and VAT is tracked on the invoices you raise so your figures are ready when the VAT and Levies Return falls due. Reports show profit by month, by fabric and by service — please confirm current rates, levies, thresholds and filing rules with GRA or a local tax professional.
