Quick Start Guide

POS has everything needed to enter orders, measurements or conduct fittings: products, shopping cart, customers and measurements.

Actions performed on POS tab:

1. Enter orders – click product to add to cart, then customize products and complete or checkout (if you have “Chaos Payments” enabled to accept credit/debit card)
2. Conduct fittings – select a customer and click the measurement button.
3. Enter measurements – select a customer and click the measurement button.

Style editor allows you to style custom garments. It is available either in the Shopping Cart on the POS tab, or on the “Manage Custom Garment” form on the ORDERS tab.

Style editors have different formats depending on the manufacturer of the garment being styled (since different manufacturers allow different design features and options).

Style editors generally have 4 sections:

1. Style Template – Set style pre-sets that pre-fill style options based on the template chosen.
2. Standard Design – Includes design options (e.g. jacket lapels and button closure) that will generally be modified at each sale.
3. Advanced Design – Includes design options that are much less frequently changed. Example jacket front facing.
4. Fabric & Trim – Includes fabrics, linings and trims such as buttons.

Custom Style Editors – available in the Bespoke plan. 

• Create new design fields
• Change manufacturer design settings (custom labels, custom design option names)
• Create special sales flow rules
• Build in sales rules such as up-sell and cross-sell
• Add custom algorithms and conditional logic to match business processes

Customer form is used to add a new customer or edit an existing customer.

Measurement form allows you to manage measurements in the following ways:

1. Body + Garment Profiles: Enter body measurements and create garment profiles using body,  finished or a mix of body+finished measurements.
   1. Body (skin): Measure customer’s body/skin measurements and send these body measurements to your manufacturer to make garments.
   2. Finished: This is used to send finished/garment measurements to your manufacturer to make garments.
   3. Mixed (Body and Finished): Measure and send a mix of body and garment measurements to manufacturer to make garments. For ex. Yong Zheng requires this mix of measurements for each garment.
   4. Garment Profiles: This allows you to save, for each customer, different size profiles for garments. For example take one body measurement, then save different size profiles for dress shirt, casual shirt, polo, Havana shirt, etc.
2. Standard Size: Enter body measurements for reference, then select standard size method for the garment.
   1. Try-on:  Setup a set of fit garments along with their measurements and allowed +/- edits.
   2. Euro:
   3. US & UK:
   4. Custom:  retailer defined
3. 3D Body Scan: Scanned files are uploaded based on 3d body scan device used.

Pro Tips:

• Every measurement type (except 3d scan) allows you to enter BODY MEASUREMENTS.
• However with each type the final measurement sent to manufacturer may be different (body, finished, mixed, standard sizes).
• Review the section below for measurement type you use.

Body Measurements (+ Garment Profiles)

> send body measurements and fit to manufacturer (manufacturer adds allowance based on their fit allowance table)

Finished Measurements (+ Garment Profiles)

> send Finished measurements to manufacturer (manufacturer makes garments to exact measurements provided)

Mixed Measurements (+ Garment Profiles)

> send body & garment/finished measurements and fit to manufacturer (manufacturer adds allowance based on their fit allowance table)

Standard Size

> send standard size to manufacturer (manufacturer uses standard block sizes to make garment)

3D Body Scan

> send body scan files to manufacturer (manufacturer uses data inside body scan files to make garment, according to proprietary logic)
