Complete Guide: What is the Pro Tier and what business features does it include?

Running a custom sewing business, taking on commissions, or managing small-batch manufacturing requires entirely different tools than hobby sewing. When you are sewing for profit, every single inch of fabric and every minute at the machine impacts your bottom line. The Pro Tier is our enterprise-grade toolkit for custom sewing businesses, commission tailors, and independent designers.

At $30.00 USD per month (or $300 yearly), you get 6 included seats (you plus 5 team members). This means you can easily add up to 5 team members, assistants, or interns to the shared workspace to help run your operations smoothly. Rather than juggling messy spreadsheets, paper invoices, and scattered client texts, this tier centralizes your entire production workflow.

Financial and Cost Tracking Features

The biggest struggle for independent designers is accurately pricing their work. The Pro Tier removes the guesswork from your financials so you can ensure your business remains profitable.

• Financials & COGS Engine: The app will automatically calculate Cost of Goods Sold based on material deductions and tracked Labor Hours (multiplied by a custom Hourly Rate). When you pull a yard of silk from your stash for a client project, the engine automatically deducts its exact cost from your inventory and applies it to the project’s financial blueprint.
• Live Labor Stopwatch: Stop guessing how long a project took you to complete. This tier includes a built-in time tracker that instantly logs billable hours directly to active project blueprints.
• Retail Calculator: Once your project is finished, you can set a global Retail Markup multiplier to automatically generate suggested retail prices for finished garments.

Client and Supply Chain Management

Managing custom orders means managing people and suppliers. These built-in business logic tools help you track exactly where your materials come from and where your finished garments go.

• Client Measurement Vaults: Store client measurements safely. You can track anatomical data across 26 distinct body points and even get warnings about “Anatomical Drift” over time so you never draft a pattern using outdated sizing.
• Provenance & Commission Tracker: It is vital to track the fate of every garment. You can log client names, transfer dates, and final sale prices for historical business records.
• Vendor Matrix: Stop buying from unreliable suppliers. You can track supply chain reliability by rating fabric stores and vendors from 1 to 5 stars, log contact info, and cross-reference all materials purchased from them.
• External Integrations: You also get webhook support to ping third-party apps (like Zapier or Make) for automated workflow building outside the app.
