Fewer "is it ready?" messages, more time at the machine

The client sends a photo of the design, gets a clean quote, pays the 50% deposit and follows the garment's progress without interrupting you. Measurements stay on file for the next order. You just sew.

You know these struggles

Ten times a day: "is it ready?"

Every client wants news on their outfit, and every call pulls you off the machine. A day of sewing is also a day of switchboard duty.

The quote approved, then silence

He said "go ahead, make it", you bought the lining, cut the fabric. Then he stops answering. Without a deposit collected before cutting, you carry all the risk.

The measurements notebook gone missing

Your April client's measurements are somewhere between two notebooks and three scraps of paper. So you re-measure, lose an appointment, push the delivery.

December and the eve of every celebration

Weddings, Tabaski, end-of-year celebrations: orders land all at once, each with a hard deadline. Without an overview, you promise dates the workshop can't keep.

What Fiitsa changes for you

Quotes that inspire trust

Documents IA

Design, fabric, making cost, lead time, deposit amount: the quote goes out as a clean document under your workshop's name. A client who receives that haggles differently.

50% deposit before cutting

Paiements WhatsApp

Quote approved, the Orange Money or Wave link goes out automatically. Fabric gets cut only after payment: the rule is clear and enforced without you pushing.

Fitting and measurement appointments

Services et réservations

The client books his measurement or fitting slot right in WhatsApp, with an automatic reminder the day before. No more clients showing up when the workshop is packed.

Progress updates without interruptions

Automatisation

Fabric cut, sewing in progress, fitting, ready: at each stage the client is notified automatically. "Is it ready?" calls drop to nearly zero.

Measurements kept for life

CRM

Chest, sleeve length, cut preferences: everything lives on the client's record. The next order starts without re-taking a single measurement.

Your customer's journey, for real

  1. 1

    A client sends you a photo of a dress from Pinterest: "can you make this for a wedding on the 14th?"

  2. 2

    The assistant asks the right questions: occasion, fabric provided or to source, deadline

  3. 3

    You confirm feasibility, the quote goes out: making 35,000 FCFA, 10-day lead time, 50% deposit

  4. 4

    She pays 17,500 FCFA via Orange Money and books her measurement slot for Tuesday 4 p.m.

  5. 5

    During the making, she receives each stage: fabric cut, sewing underway, fitting on Friday

  6. 6

    Fitting approved, she settles the balance and picks up her dress three days before the wedding - her measurements stay on file for next time

Frequently asked questions

How do I enforce a deposit without putting clients off?

The quote shows the deposit as a normal step of the process, payment link built in. When the rule comes from the document and not a debate, it lands naturally. And a client who paid 50% doesn't vanish.

Are my clients' measurements really saved?

Yes, on each client's record: measurements, cut preferences, history of garments made. Two years later you find everything in three seconds, even if the client changed numbers.

Can a client book his own fitting appointment?

Yes, he picks from the slots you opened, right inside WhatsApp. Automatic reminder the day before, and if he can't make it, he reschedules himself. Your workshop calendar stays in charge.

How do I handle the holiday rush without overpromising?

All your open orders sit in the dashboard with their deadlines. You know exactly how many garments the workshop can still absorb before Tabaski, and you decline or reschedule with full knowledge.

I work alone. Do I really have time for another tool?

The tool is precisely what gives you time back: the assistant answers questions, quotes generate themselves, progress updates go out on their own. What you manage less is the phone; what you gain is hours of sewing.

Some clients bring their own fabric, others don't. Does the quote adapt?

Yes, the quote separates making from fabric: fabric provided by the client, or sourced by you as its own line item. Everyone sees exactly what they pay, and nothing gets lost in the blur.
