Fashion business software for Nigerian designers
Simplebks is one app for a fashion business: the boutique shelf, the made-to-order job, the tailor's wages and the books behind them.
Variants, made-to-order pre-orders and production come with the Professional plan. See the pricing page for what each plan includes.
Every size and colour has its own stock, every deposit is recorded against the customer, and every job has a cost.
It is built for designers and fashion retailers who sell ready-to-wear and take orders that have to be made: a customer pays a deposit, the garment is cut and sewn, and the balance is collected on delivery.
Sell every size and colour
Variants. One product, many sizes and colours, with up to three option groups of your own such as size, colour and fabric. Each variant has its own SKU, barcode, selling price and stock quantity. Variants are on Professional and up.
Stock for every shop. Keep stock in more than one location and transfer it between shops. Locations and transfers are on Professional and up.
Barcode labels. Print barcodes and QR labels for the products in your catalogue (Basic and up).
A till for the shop. Split payments, card terminals, loyalty and gift cards. See POS & Checkout. The till is on Professional and up.
Quotations and invoices for wholesale orders and corporate clients, with part payments recorded as they arrive. Quotations and invoices with products are on Basic and up.
Take made-to-order jobs
Pre-orders (Professional and up) record the order, due date and notes. A pre-order moves no stock and books no revenue until the garment is made and handed over.
Take a deposit: it is kept as the customer's credit, applied to the invoice on delivery, and stays with the customer if the order is cancelled.
Know what a garment really costs
Production is on Professional and up. List the fabric, lining, zips and trims in each style and Simplebks works out the cost per garment.
Record materials and garments in one step; the batch goes for approval before it posts. Tailors' and seamstresses' wages are charged to the job: contract-staff production labour, not general payroll.
Sell online
Connect your WooCommerce store on Professional and up. Products, variants, categories and stock go to the website.
Website orders arrive in Web Orders and are booked as sales when you confirm them, or automatically with auto-confirm.
The books behind it
Every sale and purchase posts to your accounts, and a customer deposit is held as customer credit until you deliver.
Profit and loss is on Basic and up. The balance sheet, cash flow, VAT and withholding tax are on Professional and up.
