🧵 For Fashion Designers & Tailors

Run Your Tailoring Business From One App

Deposits, balances, fabric costs and delivery dates, for every client, in one place instead of scattered across notebooks.

Bespoke fashion work runs on a different rhythm than retail: a client pays a deposit, fabric and labour cost money upfront, and the balance is only collected on delivery, sometimes weeks later. BOS Afora tracks each order as a customer balance from deposit to final payment, records material costs as expenses, and reminds you (and effectively the client) when a balance is still outstanding.

Sound like your tailoring or fashion design business?

A client pays a deposit, not the full amount...

And tracking what's still owed on each order gets confusing fast.

Fabric and material costs pile up...

But they're rarely weighed against what each order actually earned.

Multiple orders at different stages...

Make it easy to lose track of who's paid what.

A client forgets the balance on delivery day...

And chasing it afterward is awkward.

What This Looks Like Day to Day

Taking a new order

Log the deposit the moment it's paid, so the remaining balance is tracked from day one, not reconstructed later.

Buying fabric for a batch of orders

Record the material cost as an expense, so your evening profit figure reflects what the orders actually earned.

Delivery day

Check the client's balance before handover, so the conversation about payment happens with the right number in hand.
