SeamFlow gives tailors and their clients one place to work together. Tailors keep measurements, orders, fittings, design catalogues and invoices in a single app that works offline and syncs when the signal comes back. Clients browse a tailor's lookbook, share their measurements once instead of being re-measured every time, send a design brief, and follow their order without asking "is it ready?" for the tenth time. Six languages, with mobile money built in.

Hi Product Hunt 👋 I'm Hanson. I built SeamFlow from Douala, Cameroon. My mother is a fashion designer. I grew up watching her carry every problem this app now solves: the measurements in a notebook, the delivery date held in her head, the client asking for the fifth time whether it was ready. My elder sister designs too. So do my aunt, my in-laws, and half my friends. I didn't go looking for this problem to solve. I grew up inside it. It is not only them. This trade runs on paper almost everywhere, and none of that matters until a delivery date slips, a client is re-measured for the third time, or the one design reference everybody agreed on is lost somewhere in a WhatsApp group. SeamFlow puts it in one place. Tailors get a client book, measurements, orders, fittings, a design catalogue and invoices. Clients get a lookbook of their tailor's work, share their measurements once, send a design brief, and can see where their order actually is without chasing anyone. Three decisions shaped it more than the rest: It works offline. Not as a feature, as a requirement. Tailors here work in markets where the signal dies mid-fitting. The app keeps working with no connection and syncs when it comes back. Six languages. Cameroon is bilingual, so English and French were day one, with four more scaffolded including Arabic and right-to-left layout. I enforce it with a lint rule that fails the build if anyone hardcodes a user-facing string, because discipline alone was never enough. Mobile money. Cards are not how most people here pay. Mobile money in XAF is built in, with card payments for everywhere else. It's on Google Play now, and there's a web app if you'd rather not install anything: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bambothanson.FashionApp app.seamflowtech.com I'd genuinely like to hear from you, especially if you work in a trade that still runs on paper. What would it take to get you off the notebook? Hanson

I’m building SeamFlow for tailors. What would you want it to do?

Hi everyone, I m Hanson, the maker of SeamFlow.

SeamFlow is an app for tailors and fashion designers, and for the people they sew for. Many tailors still run their whole business from paper notebooks and WhatsApp: measurements in one place, orders in another, who owes what in their head. SeamFlow puts it all in one app.

What it does today:
Keeps your clients, their measurements and their orders in one place
Reads a handwritten measurement sheet from a photo and fills in the numbers
Creates and sends invoices
Gives every tailor a shareable catalogue page for their work
Has an assistant you can ask about your business, by typing or talking
Works in English, French, Portuguese, Spanish, Swahili and Arabic

I m launching on the 2nd of November. Before then I d love your input:
If you re a tailor or designer: how do you track measurements and orders today?
If you ve ordered custom clothes: what s the most frustrating part?
What would make you try an app like this?
