What Atelierware does right
Three things, and they do them well.
Barcode tracking
Every garment gets a unique barcode. Scan to update production status, sort at trial and delivery, kill mix-ups. For high-volume shops, this is a real operational win.
POS
Walk-in billing in seconds. If your shop does counter sales alongside custom work, that matters.
Experience
The platform claims 25+ years of domain expertise behind it, and the feature list shows it — delivery load tracking, finance reconciliation, branch-wise performance comparison. This is software built by people who have watched tailor shops operate.
The Sri Lanka problem
Atelierware is built for India. That is not an insult — it is a fact with consequences.
- GST-ready invoicing solves an Indian tax problem Sri Lankan shops do not have.
- Annual billing means paying a year upfront. For a small shop watching daily cash flow, that is a real barrier.
- INR pricing means your costs move with a foreign exchange rate you do not control.
- No documented local payment rails. PayHere, Dialog Genie, and Koko are how Sri Lankan customers pay. They are not listed in Atelierware's public materials.
- No documented Sinhala or Tamil. Your staff and your customers speak them. Your software should too.
What we put on the table instead
No annual lock-in. No foreign currency. No setup fee because there is no fee.
Tailors.lk Pro is the free option for the shop that Atelierware prices out. You get a drag-and-drop order board with six production stages and automatic overdue flags. You get a measurement vault that keeps every version of every customer's fit, with templates for shirts, suits, trousers, and traditional wear. You get branded PDF receipts in LKR that show advance paid and balance due, and a tracking link your customers open to check status themselves — no login, no phone call.
The pipeline is visible
When you are ready for more: automated WhatsApp updates, revenue dashboards, staff performance, outstanding balance reports, and payment method logging (Cash, Card, Bank Transfer, LankaQR) are all in development. Barcode labels and multi-branch are on the roadmap.
The waitlist decides what ships first. Demand moves it up the queue.
The barcode question, answered honestly
If barcode scanning is non-negotiable for you today, Atelierware has it and we do not — yet. It is coming. Join the waitlist and you will be the first in line when it lands.
Everything else — daily order tracking, measurements, receipts, customer updates, working in LKR, starting for free — we handle now.
Start free. Compare honestly.
Atelierware is a fine product for Indian shops. For a Sri Lankan tailor shop, free order board, measurement vault, receipts, and tracking links are ready today.
