SoleMate Workshop

We have a small shoe repair shop and need one web application instead of paper receipts and a notebook with customer names. The core is a repair ticket: when a customer drops off shoes, boots, or a bag, the master enters a ticket with a photo of the item, work type (new sole, heel lifts, stitching, gluing, zipper replacement, painting and polishing, stretching), shoe size, condition notes, agreed price, and promised pickup date. Each ticket prints a numbered tag that stays with the item on the shelf. A board screen shows all items in the shop by stage: received, in progress, waiting for materials, ready, picked up. When the master marks a ticket done, the app sends the customer an SMS that their shoes are ready and a reminder if they haven't picked them up in several days. The inventory module tracks material use: leather and rubber soles by size, heel blocks, Vibram sheets, glue, thread, paint, laces, and eyelets; each closed repair deducts used parts, and low-stock items are flagged for reorder. Each customer has a history card with all past repairs, favorite finishes, and shoe sizes, so regulars are recognized instantly. Result: responsive web application (works on a tablet at the bench and a phone), master and cashier roles, receipt printing, SMS gateway integration, inventory with reorder alerts, daily and monthly revenue reports by work type, and data export. We deliver it on our own hosting with brief training for two masters.
