- Worth noticing
- The site lists 59 standard measurements, grouped by body area, with named templates for different outfit types.
Field notes
The described order workflow connects garment stages to customer updates: advancing an order can trigger a message, and the templates are editable in Swahili or English. The site also distinguishes solo-tailor use from shops with staff, and describes an optional till for ready-made items with receipts, returns, and a stock ledger.
