Tailor / Workshop: Jobs, Fittings and What Time Costs

A trade app that tracks each job from measurement to collection, including the hours that quoting usually forgets.

A tailor's income is time converted into garments. The trouble is that time is the one input nobody records, so quotes drift below cost without anyone noticing.

What the app is built around

The job. Customer, measurements, materials, fitting dates, promised date and price — held together, so a workshop with thirty jobs in progress knows the state of each.

What it helps you see

  • Hours quoted against hours taken, which is how quoting improves
  • What is due this week, and what is already late
  • Customer-supplied material, recorded with its condition and quantity
  • Fitting schedule, so a missed fitting does not become a missed deadline
  • Uncollected finished work, which ties up space and often money

Where it changes a decision

What to charge next time. After a dozen jobs with recorded hours, the pattern between what you quote and what the work takes becomes obvious — and a price list built on that pattern holds up.

What it is not

It does not design or cut. It handles the workshop around the craft.

Price and fit

Tailor / Workshop is $15 a month, and on Knomart your total is simply the apps you have installed.

It suits a tailor running several jobs at once, especially where customers bring their own fabric or fittings are involved.

Workshops quoting larger or more variable jobs often add Job Costing at $10 a month, which handles materials and labour on jobs that run over several days. That brings the total to $25, and either app can be dropped again without affecting the other.
