Welcome to the Soi Dhaga family! We've designed our tailor management software to be powerful yet incredibly easy to use. This guide will walk you through the essential steps to get your darji business or boutique running smoothly on our platform in your very first week.

Step 1: Register and Set Up Your Shop Profile (Day 1)

The first step is the simplest. Go to our registration page and create your account. It takes less than two minutes. Once you're in, the first thing you should do is set up your shop profile. Add your shop's name, address, mobile number, and business category (e.g., Menswear, Ladieswear, or Both). This profile is what new customers will see, so make it accurate!

Step 2: Add Your First Customer (Day 2)

Let's move away from the paper register. Go to the 'Customers' section in the app and click 'Add New Customer'. Enter your first customer's name and mobile number. Now for the magic: add their measurements. Our system has fields for all standard measurements for blouses, kurtis, pants, and more. Once you save this, you'll never have to ask for their measurements again!

Step 3: Create Your First Order (Day 3)

This is where the real power of our boutique management software shines. When a customer places an order:

  1. Go to 'Orders' and click 'Create New Order'.
  2. Select the customer you just added. Their measurements will appear automatically.
  3. Enter the order details: what they want (e.g., "1 Blouse, 1 Kurti"), the total price, the advance paid, and the delivery date.
  4. Click 'Save'. That's it! The order is now tracked in the system. You can even send a receipt to the customer via WhatsApp with a single click.

Step 4: Assign Work to a Karigar (Day 4)

Now that you have an order, you need to assign it. Go to the 'Karigars' (Staff) section and add your staff members. Then, go back to the order you created and assign it to a specific karigar. The karigar's name will now be linked to that order, so you always know who is working on what. You can also record any advance payments you give them right here.

Step 5: Track Your First Expense (Day 5)

Did you buy some new thread or fabric today? Don't let that expense go unrecorded. Go to the 'Expenses' section and add it. Enter what you bought and how much it cost. Keeping a regular habit of tracking expenses is key to understanding your business's true profitability.
