The Production Workflow

TailorBench uses three primary statuses to track your workload:

Pending
Order received but not yet started.

Work has begun on the garment.

Why Status Matters

Updating statuses keeps your business organized:

  • Dashboard Stats: Your "Ready for Pickup" count on the home screen updates automatically.
  • Staff Tracking: Managers can see which workers have too many "In Progress" jobs.
  • Customer Clarity: You can instantly tell a customer where their dress is when they call.
