Raipur tailoring software for Kosa, Teeja and wedding orders

Kosa silk, close to home

Chhattisgarh is the home of Kosa silk, a tussar silk woven in centres such as Champa, Korba, Raigarh and Bilaspur. Champa in Janjgir-Champa district is often called the Silk City of Chhattisgarh. Kosa is listed among the state’s One District One Product items, and Raipur shoppers can find it in the city’s saree shops.

Raipur’s cloth trade centres on Pandri, where the Pandri cloth market was described by ETV Bharat in 2020 as the largest textile market in Chhattisgarh. Nearby, Mahalaxmi Cloth Market sells fabrics and traditional dress, both wholesale and retail.

A Kosa saree has a soft natural sheen and is not cheap, so clients want a blouse that matches its quality and arrives on time.

Teeja and the season after it

Teeja-Pora is a festival that belongs to Chhattisgarh. Women go to their parents’ homes for Teeja, and sarees are a common gift; the state’s Chief Minister has held Teeja gatherings in Raipur where women are given sarees and lac bangles. For tailors, that means a wave of blouses and petticoats for new sarees in August or September.

After Teeja come Navratri, Diwali and the wedding season, so the busy period can last for months.

Running the busy months

Here is how a Raipur boutique might set up VogueDesk:

Step 1. Add the team. Enter in-house karigars and outside workers. The capacity calendar counts both.

Step 2. Set your stages. For example cutting, stitching, hand work, hooks and fall-pico, and ironing.

Step 3. Take orders with dates. Each order has an order date, start date and delivery date, with several garments in one order if needed.

Step 4. Check before you promise. The capacity calendar shows full days, and VogueDesk can estimate the next realistic delivery date from the current workload.

Step 5. Assign and track. Each stage of each garment goes to a karigar, who marks it started or done on the assignments board. Per-piece karigars are paid their piece rate for each task they complete.

Step 6. Deliver and bill. A WhatsApp message tells the client it is ready, and the advance carries onto the invoice.

Work that goes out

Hand embroidery or other special work is often done outside. Record each worker as a contractor, with an agreed job price, sent and received dates and a job-work challan. Dues and payments stay in one place, and contractors can have their own login. See the job-work tracker.

Hindi and Chhattisgarhi on WhatsApp

Clients in Raipur mostly talk in Hindi or Chhattisgarhi. VogueDesk connects your own WhatsApp Business number through Meta’s official platform and sends messages when an order is created, ready, delivered or paid. Write the templates yourself, for example “{client name} जी, आपका ब्लाउज़ तैयार है”, and add the order link as a placeholder.

GST

If you are registered, VogueDesk makes GST invoices with HSN/SAC codes and CGST/SGST, and gives GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-4 reports with PDF. Expenses, a daily galla and a profit and loss report are included too.

VogueDesk is online and works anywhere in Raipur, from Shankar Nagar to Telibandha. See pricing.
