Billing software for tailoring and garment shops in the UAE

Customer measurements, fabric choice, delivery date and advance payment usually live on a paper slip or a WhatsApp thread. When a regular walks in and says "same as last time", nobody can find last time. Rework, arguments over what was agreed, and lost repeat customers all start here.

Tailoring is an advance-and-balance trade — 50% at order, the rest at delivery. Without one clean record, staff hand over the garment and forget the balance, or chase a customer who already paid. At month end you cannot tell how much of your cash drawer is actually unearned advances against unfinished orders.

Rolls of fabric, lining, buttons, zips and thread move constantly between the shop, the stitching room and customer jobs. Offcuts and "customer's own material" blur the picture further, so you reorder crepe you already have and run out of the black lining every abaya needs.

Handwritten bills, a mix of card, cash and bank transfers, and a shoebox of supplier receipts turn every VAT return period into a scramble. Getting output tax on stitching charges and input tax on fabric purchases lined up correctly — with a proper TRN on every invoice — takes days you would rather spend on the shop floor.

Create an order at the counter with the customer's measurements, fabric, style notes, trial date and delivery date attached. The customer record keeps their full history, so "same as last time" takes one tap. Your due-date view shows what must be finished today, this week and what is running late — before the customer calls to ask.

Take a part payment at order time and Tallium AI records the advance, prints or emails the receipt and keeps the balance on the order. At delivery, the outstanding amount is right there on screen for cash, card or bank transfer. Your outstanding-balance report tells you at any moment exactly how much is still to be collected.

Track fabric by metre and trims by piece, with stock reducing as material is issued to a job. Low-stock alerts flag the lining and thread you always run short of, and purchase orders to your fabric suppliers in Deira or Sharjah are raised from the same app. Customer-supplied material can be logged against the order without touching your own stock value.

Issue tax invoices that carry your TRN, the VAT breakdown and the details a UAE tax invoice needs, on stitching charges and on fabric you sell. Sales, purchases and expenses post to the accounts as they happen, and receipt scanning reads your supplier bills so input tax is captured. When your VAT return (VAT201) period ends, the figures are already summarised — confirm current rules and your own filing position with the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) or a local tax professional.
