Billing Software for Furnishing and Curtain Shops

Furnishing, curtain and home decor shops. A furnishing or curtain shop sells in a way most billing software is not built for. The same design comes in several sizes and colours, fabric is cut to length instead of sold whole, and half the orders need stitching or fitting before they are finished. This is the billing and stock system I built for a home furnishing retailer, written up for any shop that sells curtains, blinds, upholstery, cushions, mattresses or home decor from a counter.

What makes this trade different

• A design has ten sizes and six colours, and the shelf tag has to match the exact variant a customer picks.
• Fabric is cut to length, not sold as a whole piece, so the roll on the shelf and the stock figure in the book drift apart.
• A curtain or upholstery order needs stitching or fitting, and that work lives in a notebook until someone remembers to chase it.
• Sample books go out to customers for a few days and are easy to lose track of.
• A wholesale order and a retail walk-in need different bills, but both come through the same counter.

How it handles each one

• Billing by size and colour. Every design is set up with its own sizes and colours, each with its own code, MRP and purchase rate. The counter scans the exact variant a customer is buying, not just the design.
• Stitching and fitting jobs. A stitching line on a bill raises a job card by itself. A board shows every job and its stage, so nothing sits forgotten in a notebook.
• What you owe the tailor. Tick the bills a tailor has worked on and mark them paid or unpaid. The totals are what the customer was charged on those jobs, since the system does not hold a separate tailor day rate.
• Barcode tags with offers. Price tags print with MRP, size, colour and any discount or Buy 1 Get 1 offer already on them, in the label layout you use.
• Low stock before it runs out. Stock that is running low shows grouped by category, so you reorder a design before it is gone, not after.
• Quotations and wholesale bills. Build a quotation from the catalogue with your own terms and discount, and send it. Once accepted, it turns into a bill. Retail, wholesale, delivery challan and estimate are separate bill types from the same counter.
• A GST invoice with everything on it. HSN codes, the right tax when goods leave the state, the buyer's GSTIN, delivery address and vehicle all print on the same bill, with e-invoice and e-way bill raised from it.

What it doesn't do

• It does not hold a separate day rate for a tailor. What a tailor is owed is worked out from what the customer was charged on that job, not a rate you set for the tailor.
• Billing needs an internet connection. There is no offline billing today; a phone hotspot is enough to keep going.
• The counter is built for an iPad or a computer. Staff get a simple phone screen to look up stock, not to bill from.

Questions

Can it handle a design with many sizes and colours?

Yes. Each size and colour is its own variant with its own code, MRP and purchase rate, and you can add several sizes to a design at once.

Can it bill fabric sold by the metre?

Yes. Fabric can be set up by the roll or by the cut length, so the bill and the stock figure both reflect what was actually cut.

Do you set up e-invoicing for me?

Yes. E-invoice and e-way bill setup are part of getting started, at no extra cost. You need your GST portal API login from your accountant, and I connect and test it with you.

What if the internet goes down?

It runs in the browser, so billing needs a connection. A phone hotspot is enough to carry on. There is no offline billing today.
