Needle & Ledger

Alterations platform

Six working screens over one shared order book. The counter writes the ticket, the machine works it, the rack reassembles it. Data persists on this device and is shared between every screen below.

Screens
Front counter

POS

Write tickets, take payment, run the board and the reports. Owns prices, tax and money.

Front counter

Calendar

Square Appointments on the counter. See today's fittings, turn one into a ticket, book and move the rest.

Tailor · machine tablet

Machine station

The queue at the machine: work order, step checklist, job timer, fit block and voice capture.

Tailor · counter iPad

Shop station

Look up a ticket, read what the counter wrote, add a dictated or photographed note to the job.

Tailor · rack

Pieces

Multi-garment orders. Track every piece across tailors and racks; nothing goes out until all of them are confirmed.

Tailor · fitting room

Fit block

Capture measurements, see the silhouette, and work out what has to come off where.

Where the data lives. The order book is on Supabase and shared between every screen and device. Money and the calendar are Square's: cards are charged on a Square Terminal from the POS, appointments are Square Appointments, and the customer list is kept in step so campaigns can be sent from Square Marketing.
The machine station's two model-backed features — method drafting and voice-ticket parsing — run through the shop's own server, which holds the model key and counts what each tablet spends. A drafted method is a draft: a senior tailor approves it before it becomes the house standard. If the server is not reachable, both features say so on the screen rather than failing quietly.
