How to choose boutique software in India, with the main options

What to look for in boutique software

Before comparing names, decide what your shop actually needs. These seven points matter most for Indian boutiques and tailoring shops.

1. Measurements. Can it store dated measurements per client, so a blouse from last year and a lehenga this season don’t get mixed up? Does it cover the fields you use (bust, armhole, dart point, petticoat length and so on)?
2. Karigar tracking. Can you assign each garment stage (cutting, stitching, embroidery, finishing) to a karigar and see what’s pending? Does it handle piece rates, attendance or outside job work if you use them?
3. GST. If you are registered, you need GST invoices with HSN codes and CGST/SGST or IGST. Return reports save time with your CA.
4. WhatsApp. Your clients are on WhatsApp. Check whether the software only shares a PDF or sends automatic order-ready and payment messages.
5. Mobile. You will mostly use it on a phone. Check whether it’s a store app, a browser system or desktop-only.
6. Price. Is the price published? What do the free plans actually allow?
7. Data import. Can you bring in clients and measurements from Excel, or ledgers from Tally, instead of retyping?

How to decide

Shortlist two or three, then test each with a real week: add ten clients with measurements, create a bridal order with several garments, assign stages to a karigar and send a client update. Check how it feels on the phone you actually use. For more on what a full system covers, see boutique management software.
