Development of Online Tailor Platform (Tailor Mama)

Abstract

“Tailor Mama” remains a fully digitalized version of the traditional tailoring business and services that creates a convenient digital environment for custom made clothing. This project occupies a meaningful niche in the Bangladesh battery-operated tailoring market that for the most part remains offline and ineffective. Customers can search for fabrics, input their body measurements, and order ready-to-wear garments that will fit them perfectly; while at the same time, tailors can easily track their orders and interact with customers through a simple to use back end interface. The system is made up of front end design for view and interaction plus a back end internal database for efficient handling of data. They are user registration, product and measurement input forms and catalogs as well as order tracking and payment systems. The platform focuses on UX design, which means, customers and tailors will be able to easily find and interact with the app. Unit and integration tests, as well as user acceptance tests made the comprehensible result for the effectiveness and stability of the platform. Performance test evidenced high robustness, flexibility and user satisfaction. The study also reviewed several online tailoring solutions already in existence in Bangladesh and realized that these had very major shortcomings in terms of functionality and convenience which “Tailor Mama” eliminated. The following report describes the accomplished phases of the system development including the requirement analysis, conceptualization, realization, and testing phases. The technical project itself eloquently showcases how advanced technology can open up a number of opportunities to integrate with traditional tailoring processes in order to improve accessibility, satisfaction and the reach out in the markets.
