How tailors and dressmakers can track orders, deposits and balances
Tailors can track customer orders, deposits, material costs, balances due and delivery dates.
A tailor or dressmaker often receives deposits before work is completed. Customers may pay part by Cash, part by M-PESA, and the balance later.
Without clear records, it is easy to forget who paid, who still owes, which materials were bought, and which orders are pending.
A tailoring business also has costs such as fabric, thread, zips, buttons, lining, transport, electricity and machine repairs.
What to record
- Customer name and contact.
- Order details.
- Deposit paid.
- Balance due.
- Material costs.
- Expected completion date.
- Cash or M-PESA payments.
Common problem
- A customer pays a deposit, but the balance is not tracked clearly. Later there is confusion about what remains to be paid.
