Run your Mumbai boutique from one phone

Why Mumbai boutiques need a different setup

Mumbai boutiques work with very little space and very long distances. Your cutting table may also be your counter, and your clients may live an hour away by local train. That changes what you need from boutique software. You need fewer paper registers lying around, fewer trial trips for the client, and a clear view of which garment is with which karigar today.

VogueDesk is built for that. Everything sits in one place in the browser: the client’s measurements, the order with each garment in it, the stage each garment is at, and the bill.

Fabric runs to Mangaldas Market

Many Mumbai tailors still buy fabric in person at Mangaldas Market near Crawford Market in Kalbadevi. It is the city’s old wholesale cloth market with around 400 to 500 shops, grouped into lanes by fabric type. A fabric run there takes half a day, so you want to buy for many orders at once.

VogueDesk helps you plan that trip:

• Materials and stock: record fabric, lining, thread, buttons, zips and trims with units, and see what is running low.
• Purchase orders and vendors: keep your regular Mangaldas suppliers as vendors and raise purchase orders against them.
• Expenses by category: log fabric, transport and trims, and see your profit and loss at month end.
• Fabric catalog: photograph the swatches you stock so clients can choose before they visit.

Deliveries across a long city

A client in Borivali and a client in Chembur should not both have to come to your shop for pickup. From any order you can book a delivery with Porter or Shiprocket Quick for local drops, or Shiprocket for outstation courier. VogueDesk raises the delivery challan and shows live status.

If you do not have the client’s exact building, VogueDesk sends them a WhatsApp link to pin their location on a map. The order then shows whether the client or your staff set the pin, which saves the “which wing, which gate” phone calls.

Festival rush, planned in advance

Ganeshotsav, Navratri, Diwali and the winter wedding season all pile up in the second half of the year. The real problem is saying yes to more orders than your team can stitch.

VogueDesk’s capacity planning counts your karigars and outside contractors and estimates a delivery date from your current workload. Before you promise “Saturday”, check the capacity calendar. The dashboard also lists every delivery due in the next 30 days, so nothing gets forgotten in the rush.

Outside work, tracked piece by piece

Many Mumbai studios send embroidery, handwork or dyeing to outside units. With job-work tracking you record each contractor job with an agreed price, mark garments sent out and received back, and raise job-work delivery challans. Contractor dues and payments stay in one ledger, so month-end settlement is quick.

WhatsApp in the languages your clients use

Mumbai clients may prefer Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati or English. You connect your own WhatsApp Business number through Meta’s official platform. VogueDesk then sends messages when an order is created, when it is ready, when it is delivered and when a payment is received. Each message uses an approved template with placeholders like client name, order link and delivery date, written in the language you pick. Read more on WhatsApp for boutiques.

GST bills that match Maharashtra rules

Set your GSTIN once. Bills to clients within Maharashtra carry CGST and SGST, and bills to clients in other states carry IGST, with HSN/SAC codes from the built-in master. Advances taken at booking move onto the final invoice automatically. Clients can pay by cash, UPI, card, bank transfer, cheque or a Razorpay link. See GST billing for tailors.
