$99 a month, flat. Every app is included: bookings, invoices, your client records, your website, email and the rest. It covers one business, one location, one website and three people with their own sign-in. You can try it for 14 days without a card.

My measurements are in notebooks. Do I have to type them all in first?

No. If your client list is already in a spreadsheet, bring it in with a preview first. Measurements from a notebook can go in as each client comes back, which is usually when they need taking again anyway.

Can I take a deposit and then the balance?

Yes. An invoice takes part payments and always shows what is left. Send a link to pay whatever is still owed, and if it is paid through Stripe, the payment records itself against the right invoice. Bookings can also take a deposit up front with a cancellation policy applied the same way for everybody.

I do quick alterations as well as bespoke work. Is that two systems?

No. You can keep a separate board for each kind of work, because a trouser hem and a wedding suit do not move through the same stages. Both sit on the same client records and the same invoices.

I work on my own. Is this too much software?

Every app is included, and you use the ones that fit your week. Three people are included, so if you take on an apprentice later there is nothing to upgrade.

Can I check it from my phone at the bench?

Yes. The screens are built for a phone, so looking up a measurement, moving a fitting or checking who has paid does not mean washing your hands and finding a laptop.

Keep the measurements, the fittings and the deadline together.

Piggles keeps every job on the client’s record: the measurements, the quote, the deposit, both fittings and the date it has to be ready. The reminding and the chasing happen on their own, so your hours go to the cloth.

If this sounds like your week

The measurements live in a notebook.

A client comes back after two years for a second suit. Her measurements are on a page in a notebook, which is at home, or smudged, or in the one from before last. You measure again and hope nothing changed that you would have wanted to know.

The deadline belongs to somebody’s wedding.

Two fittings and a date that cannot move. One missed fitting pushes everything back, and the first you hear of it is the client asking whether it will still be ready.

The deposit is an awkward conversation every time.

You take it by bank transfer, try to remember who has paid, and write it in the margin. Asking for the balance feels like chasing, so sometimes you do not.

A calendar, an invoice app and the notebook.

That was the fix: one app for fittings, one for bills, and the notebook for everything else. Each holds a piece of the job, and the job itself, with its stage and its date, is in none of them.

The garment is bespoke but the job has a shape you repeat every time (measure, quote, deposit, fit, fit, collect), so Piggles keeps the shape and leaves you the part only you can do.

What most tailors are juggling, and what takes its place

~~a notebook of measurements~~Customers
Measurements go on a record you designed, linked to the client, so a second suit two years later starts from the first one instead of a smudged page.
~~a paper diary for fittings~~Bookings
A fitting booked in Bookings reminds the client before the day and lets her move it herself, so a missed fitting stops being the first you hear of a problem.
~~an invoicing app that knows nothing about the job~~Invoices
The invoice sits on the same client record as the measurements and the fittings, and the deposit and the balance are recorded against the same document.
~~a spreadsheet of what each job cost in cloth and trimmings~~Money
The cloth and the lining are charged to the job they were for, so what a suit made after its costs is a screen rather than an evening’s arithmetic.
~~a printed quote the client signs and photographs~~Invoices
Send the quote for signature and the signed copy stays attached to her record, where you will find it when the question comes up at the second fitting.

A normal week for tailors, on Piggles

Monday, 8:30am
Home shows what needs you today: two fittings to confirm, a message sent through your website and an invoice that has gone late. You know the day before you unlock the door.
Home
Monday, 10am
A new client for a three-piece suit. Her measurements go into a record you designed with the fields you actually take, linked to her, and the job goes on your board at the stage you call "measured", with its value and its date.
Customers
Monday, 4pm
She accepts the quote. It becomes an invoice without retyping, and you send her a link to pay the deposit. Paid through Stripe, it records itself against the invoice, and the balance stays open as what is still owed.
Invoices
Wednesday, 11am
Both fittings go in the book with a buffer after each, so a long fitting never eats into the next one. She gets a confirmation and a reminder beforehand, with a link to move it herself if she needs to.
Bookings
Thursday, 2pm
Cutting the jacket. You buy cloth by the roll and use it by the meter, and Stock converts between the two, so you know how much of that navy wool is left before you promise it to the next client.
Stock
Friday, 9am
A quote you sent last week has gone quiet. Automations sends the polite follow-up you wrote once, after checking she has not already accepted, so nobody is chased for something they already did.
Automations
Saturday, 3pm
The suit is collected. Money shows what the job actually made once the cloth, the lining and any other costs you charged to it are taken off, so you can price the next one like it with real numbers.

The apps tailors use most, up close

Bookings

Fittings in the right order, with time to do them properly.

A tailor’s calendar is not a row of equal slots. A first fitting takes longer than a hem, a wedding suit needs two fittings before a date that cannot move, and Saturday keeps its own hours.

Everything Bookings does

Each service has its own length, so a first fitting books a longer slot than a trouser alteration without you working it out.
A fitting that needs the fitting room cannot be booked while somebody else is already in there.
Saturday hours, holidays and a week away are set once and respected by every booking after that.
Clients get a reminder before each fitting with a link to move it themselves, which cuts the no-shows that push a deadline back.
Bespoke work can take a deposit when the fitting is booked, under a cancellation policy that applies to everybody the same way.
When somebody cancels, the next person on the waiting list is offered the slot instead of it going empty.

Customers

Her measurements from two years ago, still there when she comes back.

Measurements are the most valuable thing a tailor keeps and usually the worst kept. Customers holds them on a record you shaped yourself, linked to the person, beside every job you have ever made for her.

Everything Customers does

Create a measurement record with your own fields, from chest and inseam to posture notes, and link each set to the client.
Because a measurement set is its own record, a client can have more than one, so the set from two years ago sits beside today’s.
Every job sits on a board with stages you named, a value and a due date, so the wedding suit due in May is not buried under this week’s hems.
A task with a date on the job, such as calling when the cloth arrives, makes the follow-up a thing that exists rather than an intention.
Connect your mailbox and every email with a client lands on her record without anybody copying it across.
Won and lost quotes are counted, so you can see which kinds of work you actually win and price the rest accordingly.

Invoices

The deposit, the balance and the awkward bit, handled.

Bespoke work is paid in parts: a deposit when the cloth is ordered and the balance at collection. Invoices keeps both against one job, so you never have to remember who has paid what, or bring it up in person.

Everything Invoices does

Quotes, estimates, invoices and receipts carry your logo, your terms and your wording, all from one set of templates.
The quote she accepts becomes the invoice without retyping a line, and the two stay linked.
Send her a link to pay whatever is still owed. Paid through Stripe, each payment records itself against the right invoice.
An overdue balance shows how long it has been waiting, and a firm, polite reminder goes out without you writing it each time.
Every invoice shows what has been paid and what is left, and the total you are owed sits at the top of the list before you read a single row.
Steps named your way (estimate, work order, invoice, receipt) keep a bespoke job as one document, from the price she agreed to the receipt at collection.

Moving over

Bring your client list across.

If names, phone numbers and emails are in a spreadsheet or another app’s export, open “Move in from somewhere else” in your console and drop the file in. Piggles guesses which column is which, shows what will happen to every row before anything is saved, and brings a notes column across as each client’s note.

Enter measurements by hand, one client at a time.

Your measurement record is yours to design, and it does not fill itself from an import today. Type each set in as the client next comes through the door. For most regulars that is when you would measure again anyway.

Move over the jobs that are still open.

Open jobs, upcoming fittings and unpaid balances are typed in by hand: each job on the board at its stage, each fitting in the book, each balance as an invoice. Finished work can stay in the old notebook, where it was already safe.

Your first hour

Set up a measurements record with the fields you actually take, and link it to the client.
Name the stages on your job board the way you work: measured, cutting, first fitting, second fitting, ready.
Add your services, alterations and bespoke, with how long a fitting takes.
Put your logo and terms on your quote and invoice template.
Bring your client list in from a spreadsheet, with a preview before anything is saved.
