Billing software for tailoring shops in the Philippines

Measurements on one page, the downpayment on another, the balance remembered by whoever took it. When the customer comes back and the person who wrote it is off duty, you are flipping pages while they wait — and sometimes the balance is collected twice, or never.

Nobody deducts a metre of piña or gabardine from a running count when it is cut. You find out the shade the client picked is finished only after promising a delivery date, then pay rush prices at the supplier to keep the promise.

Once you cross PHP 3,000,000 in gross sales you are VAT-registered, and the 2550Q needs sales and input tax that actually tie to your receipts. If billing is handwritten and expenses are in a shoebox, every quarter starts with re-encoding months of paper.

Barongs, uniform bulk orders, gown commissions and PHP 150 hem alterations all land in the same drawer. Without a split you keep taking the rush jobs that eat two days of a cutter's time for almost no margin.

Raise a job order with the customer, garment type, measurements notes, promised date, deposit taken and balance due. The balance is attached to the job, so anyone at the counter can pull it up by name or mobile number and collect the right amount on release day.

Hold your bolts, linings, buttons and zips as inventory with reorder points. Consumption comes off stock when a job is issued materials or a sale is rung up, so the count at the counter is the count in the stockroom, and low-stock alerts reach you before a client does.

Sales are recorded with the right VAT treatment as each receipt is issued, supplier bills and receipts are scanned and categorised by AI, and reports give you the sales and input tax figures behind your quarterly 2550Q under your TIN. It makes filing a review instead of a reconstruction — confirm current rules and your registration status with BIR or a local tax professional.

Tag work as tailoring, alteration, uniform bulk or repair and see revenue, material cost and margin for each. Repeat corporate and school accounts show up as top customers, which tells you where a discount is worth giving and which walk-in work you can price higher.
