Abaya shop and tailoring software for Oman

• You

  Measure the customer once.

  Nizro

  It keeps her measurements in her own file, in dated versions, and refuses a figure outside its range before the fabric is cut.

• You

  Open a tailoring order.

  Nizro

  It pins it to one version of her measurements, so months later you know which ones the abaya was cut to.

• You

  Take the deposit.

  Nizro

  It books it as owed, not as revenue, and keeps the order out of the workshop until the manager's minimum is paid.

• You

  Read the workshop board each morning.

  Nizro

  It counts the orders past their date and not ready, before a customer calls to ask about hers.

• You

  Hand over the abaya and take the balance.

  Nizro

  It issues the VAT invoice with the deposit applied, and the deposit becomes revenue on the day of handover.

What an abaya shop gets

• The measurement file: 11 measurements with ranges that refuse a typing slip

  The measurement file belongs to the customer, not to a job.

  • It carries a number starting MEA and stays on her file
  • It holds 11 measurements in centimetres: front length, back length, shoulder, sleeve length, arm width, bust, waist, hips, wrist, neck and height
  • Each has a range the database accepts. If you type 600 instead of 60 for the sleeve length, the figure is refused before the fabric is cut
  • Every new file for the same customer takes the next version number, and old ones are never deleted

• A tailoring order pinned to one version of the measurements

  A tailoring order has a number starting TLR and holds the garment, the fabric, the price and the delivery date.

  • When you open it you pick one version of the measurement file, and it stays pinned to it
  • So months later you know which measurements the abaya was cut to, even if the customer's body has changed
  • Nizro will not accept an order on another customer's measurements
  • Each order carries an alteration policy: re-alterable for plain pieces, or final sale for embellished and fully custom pieces. The system enforces it

• The deposit and the stages of an order

  If the branch manager sets a minimum deposit percentage, an order cannot move from draft to in workshop until the deposit is collected.

  • The deposit is a liability to the customer, not income, and becomes revenue only the day you hand the piece over
  • The stages are draft, in workshop, fitting, ready and delivered
  • Each stage has a defined way out, and any jump off it is refused. So ready means the fitting happened and passed
  • Every move is stamped with its date in the order's history strip

• Reworks, outside workshops and alterations after handover

  If a fitting does not pass, you send the order back to the workshop with a compulsory reason chosen from a list: fit adjustment, embroidery fix, fabric fault or style change.

  • Nizro counts the reworks on the order, so at the end of the season you see where the tailors' time goes
  • If you send sewing or embroidery to an outside workshop, you record what they bill you and it lands on that supplier's ledger with the order number
  • If a customer comes back wanting a sleeve taken in, you reopen the delivered order with a written reason
  • That is allowed within the window your manager sets and for re-alterable pieces only. A final-sale piece does not come back

• The counter: ready abayas, shaylas and gifts

  A ready abaya on the rail sells at the till like any item.

  • A made-to-measure abaya is not a stock item at all: it is a tailoring order in the atelier
  • Eight categories come ready in Arabic, including abayas, shaylas and scarves, and gift sets
  • VAT shows on each line of the invoice
  • At handover you collect the balance at the till, the sale becomes a tax invoice and the deposit is applied against it

• Appointments and repeat visits

  Fitting and collection appointments are booked on the same appointments screen.

  • The customer's file gathers her visits, orders and payments
  • A strip on the atelier board counts orders past their promised date and not ready, so you read it every morning before a customer phones to ask about her order
  • A repeat order never creates an invoice by itself: it adds a follow-up to the calling list, and the sale is rung at the till only when she comes in

A day in your shop and atelier with Nizro

1. Measuring

   You keep the customer's measurements in a file that stays with her, and each measurement has a range: the database refuses anything outside it.

2. The tailoring order

   You build the tailoring order on the file, pick one version of the measurements, and the order stays pinned to it.

3. The deposit

   You take the deposit, and if the manager sets a minimum percentage the order cannot move from draft to in workshop until it is collected.

4. The workshop and the fitting

   You follow the piece through its stages, and a strip on the atelier board counts the orders past their promised date and not ready, so you read it every morning.

5. The handover

   You collect the balance at the till, the sale becomes a tax invoice and the deposit is applied against it.
