Billing software for tailoring and garment shops in Malaysia

Customer measurements, fabric choice, style notes and the promised delivery date sit in a exercise book or a WhatsApp thread. When the customer comes back for a second baju or a suit, someone has to flip through pages to find last time's numbers — and if that book goes missing, so does years of customer history.

Most tailoring work is half payment on order, balance on collection. Without a system, nobody is sure who still owes what, which garments are ready but unpaid, and how much of today's cash was a deposit versus a final settlement. At month end the takings never reconcile cleanly.

You buy fabric by the roll and sell it by the metre, plus buttons, zips, linings and thread. Rolls get cut for jobs, some goes to alterations, and the leftover on the shelf is anyone's guess — so you either over-order material that sits for a year or run out mid-job and disappoint a customer.

If your shop crosses the RM500,000 threshold, sales tax and service tax obligations, SST-02 filing and Malaysia's MyInvois e-invoicing rollout all land on top of running the shop. Hand-written bills and a shoebox of supplier receipts make that a stressful scramble every filing period.

Create a customer once and keep their measurements, fabric preference, past garments and photos attached to their profile. Book a new order in seconds with the style, fabric used, tailor assigned and promised date — then filter the board by 'due this week' so nothing is forgotten. The Tallium AI suite's CRM sits in the same account, so follow-ups for Raya and wedding season come from the same customer list.

Take a deposit at booking and Tallium AI records it against that order, shows the outstanding balance on the receipt, and keeps the job in an 'awaiting balance' list until it is collected and paid in full. Cash, card, DuitNow QR and e-wallet takings are all logged, so your daily close matches your drawer without guesswork.

Hold fabric in metres and trims in pieces, and deduct what each job consumes as you invoice it. Low-stock alerts tell you when a popular lining or a colour of thread is running down, and purchase orders to your KL or Penang suppliers land straight into the same stock records — so what the screen says is what is on the shelf.

Sales, deposits, supplier bills and expenses flow into proper accounts as you work, with tax handling set up for Malaysian SST and reports you can use when preparing your SST-02 return. Snap supplier invoices with your phone and AI reads and files them. Always confirm your registration status, applicable rates and MyInvois timing with RMCD or a local tax professional.
