Tailoring & garment shops — Qatar
Most tailoring shops in Doha, Al Rayyan and Al Wakrah still run on a receipt book, a WhatsApp thread and a shelf of numbered bags. Tallium AI puts the whole shop in one app — a fast counter POS that prints a clear invoice, order tickets that track every thobe and abaya from measurement to delivery, live fabric and trims stock, and books that stay tidy all year. Every plan includes unlimited users, so your master tailor, counter staff and accountant all work in the same system with no per-seat fees.

Key takeaways
A customer drops fabric, gives measurements and a delivery date, and it all lands on a carbon-copy slip. When the slip tears, gets misfiled or the handwriting is unclear, someone has to call the customer back — and in a shop that takes 30–60 orders a week during Eid and wedding season, that happens more than you'd like.
Tailoring runs on part payments: an advance at drop-off, the balance on collection. Without a system that ties both to the same order, staff argue over what was paid, customers dispute the balance at the counter, and cash in the drawer never quite matches what the book says by end of day.
Rolls of fabric, linings, buttons, zips and threads move in small quantities every day. Nobody logs a metre and a half here or two zips there, so you only find out a popular fabric has run out when a customer has already chosen it — and slow-moving rolls sit tying up cash for months.
Rent, electricity, tailor salaries, fabric purchases from Souq Waqif suppliers and machine repairs are paid across cash, card and bank transfer. With no running record, you can't tell whether an abaya order or a school-uniform bulk job actually made money, and preparing anything for the accountant becomes a weekend of sorting paper.
Take the order at the POS in under a minute: customer, garment type, measurements and notes, fabric issued, promised delivery date. Tallium AI gives it a number, prints a ticket for the bag and keeps the same record on screen for the counter — so any staff member can tell a walk-in customer exactly where their thobe is without hunting for paper.
Record the advance when the order is taken and the balance when the garment is collected; both sit against the same invoice, so the amount due is never in question. Cash, card and bank transfer are logged separately, and the day's closing summary shows what should be in the drawer before anyone locks up.
Set up your rolls, linings and accessories once, and stock moves down as fabric is issued to a job or sold over the counter. Reorder alerts flag a fabric before it runs out, and a slow-mover report shows which rolls have been sitting too long — so your next purchase from the supplier is based on what actually sells.
Sales flow straight into the accounts from the POS, and expenses are captured by photographing the bill — the AI reads the supplier, amount and date and files it in the right category. You get a live profit picture, per-garment and per-month, plus clean records ready whenever your accountant or the General Tax Authority needs them.
A counter screen built for speed: take an order with measurements and delivery date, record an advance, settle the balance on collection, and close the day with a clear cash and card summary.
Professional invoices and receipts with your shop name, order number and balance due — printed at the counter or sent to the customer, and easy to reprint when someone loses theirs.
Track fabric by the metre plus linings, buttons, zips and thread. Stock drops as material is issued to a job, with reorder alerts and slow-moving reports so cash isn't stuck on the shelf.
Sales, purchases, rent, salaries and utilities in one ledger, with AI receipt scanning for supplier bills and reports that show real profit per month — no year-end scramble.
Plain-English prompts on what's changing: which garment types earn most, when your busy weeks hit, which fabrics are dead stock and where costs crept up this month.
