Day to day
When the notebook stops being enough.
Measurements you cannot find
A client calls to change something, and you go through three notebooks looking for measurements you took six months ago.
Clients chasing you all day
"Is it ready yet?" These calls interrupt you all day long. You answer them, and the tailor in you stops sewing.
Money you cannot account for
At the end of the month you cannot say what came in, what is still owed, or who has not paid.
A deadline missed, a client let down
Several orders at once, deadlines crossing, and on the day you realise a dress was due yesterday.
What you manage
Everything that keeps a shop running.
From clients and their measurements to the end-of-month accounts, and to your team, the day you hire one.
Your clients, and what they wear
- One record per client, with the full history of their orders
- Measurement fields you create yourself

Where we stand
The craft first. The technology around it.
General business software can print an invoice. It has no idea what a waist measurement is, or a deposit on a wedding order, or a piece promised for Saturday. SmartCouture fits the way you work. Not the reverse.
Their measurements, their past orders, what they have already paid, what is still owed. You open their record and you know where you stand. No digging through a notebook, no calling anyone back.
Mobile money, cash, bank transfer: you record the payment exactly as it comes in. The deposit and the balance update themselves, and the invoice goes out in your shop’s name. At the end of the month you know what came in, what is still owed, and where your money went.
Boubou, agbada, kaftan, kurta, a ceremonial gown or a three-piece suit: every garment has its own measuring points. Create your own, in your own words, for what you actually sew.
Order taken, piece ready for collection, balance due: the message goes out on its own, by SMS or WhatsApp depending on the client’s country, in your shop’s name. You sew while the shop answers.
And if the network goes down, nothing stops: you keep recording orders, measurements and payments. Everything syncs when the connection comes back.

Your data stays yours
When the shop grows
From solo tailor to a structured fashion house
Once you are three or four people, the question is no longer finding a measurement. It is knowing who is doing what, and where each piece stands.
You may be starting alone. You may not stay that way, and you will not have to change tools.
Running a team? Let’s talk about your shop.

Is SmartCouture a free app?+
The app is free to download. SmartCouture is then a subscription service: the Starter plan comes with a 14-day free trial, no commitment. Plans start at 4,900 FCFA a month, around 163 FCFA a day.
Does the app work without an internet connection?+
Yes. You work normally offline. As soon as the network is back, everything syncs on its own.
Can I use SmartCouture on several devices?+
Yes, on iPhone, Android, and on a computer through the web interface with the Business plan. Your data syncs across your devices.
Can I create my own measuring points?+
Yes. You define your own measurement fields and name them in your own words: shoulder, neck, arm, kaftan length. You also create your own garment types, boubou, agbada, kaftan, kurta, ceremonial gown or suit, and each keeps its own measuring points. A boubou is not measured like a suit, and the app takes that into account.
How do I send an invoice to a client?+
From the order, SmartCouture produces a PDF invoice in your shop’s name and with your logo. The items, the deposit already paid and the remaining balance all appear on it. You send it straight to the client on WhatsApp, without leaving the app.
How do I pay my subscription?+
Orange Money, Wave, M-Pesa, MTN MoMo, Airtel Money, Moov Money, Free Money, bank card or PayPal. No commitment: you cancel whenever you want.
What is the difference between Starter, Mobile and Business?+
Starter: orders, measurements, finances, to start on your own. Mobile: everything in Starter plus SMS and WhatsApp notifications, the style library and invoices. Business: everything in Mobile plus the web interface, team management and the online shop. The 14-day free trial is included with the Starter plan only.
How do I get started?+
Create your account, add your first client and their measurement sheet, then your first order. About two minutes, no training, no setup.
