Measurement profiles
Saved per customer with fit notes, photos, preferred cuts and a history of every measurement.
Menswear store software: made-to-measure & fittings
Menswear: measure once, order again online. Made-to-measure, made easy.
Measurements live on index cards in a drawer, a shirt reorder means another fitting and the wedding party is six blokes, two dads and a groomsman in Perth who hasn't replied. We build measurement, made-to-measure, fitting and online store systems for menswear stores that all talk to each other. Then we host them and look after them.
Looking for menswear software that handles made-to-measure, fittings and the shop floor?
A good menswear store is a retailer, a tailor's workroom and a wedding planner all at once. The racks run on a POS, the made-to-measure side runs on cards and order forms emailed to the maker and the wedding parties run on a group chat with the groom's mum. Measurements get lost, reorders need another fitting and every Thursday the phone rings with someone asking where their suit is.
Wollopit builds custom menswear software around how your store actually works. Measure a customer once and the profile is saved with fit notes, so shirts and suits can be reordered online. Wedding parties get their own portal. Orders go to the maker in the right format and customers get told when it's ready for the final fitting. We connect the POS and online store you already use, then host and look after the lot.
01The problems
What we hear from menswear stores
Does your menswear store have these problems? Here's how we'd fix them.
Most menswear stores we talk to know their customers by name and by chest size. The trouble is the chest size is written on a card that's somewhere in the back room.
- The problemMeasurements on cardsIndex cards in a drawer, the tailor's handwriting and a coffee ring over the inseam. Lose the card and you start again.How we fix itSaved measurement profiles per customer with fit notes, posture notes, photos and a history of every change.
- The problemReorders need another fittingA regular wants three more of the same shirt and has to come back in to be measured again because nobody trusts the card.How we fix itCustomers log in and reorder shirts, trousers and suits online from their saved measurements, with your approval before it goes to the maker.
- The problemWedding parties are chaosThe groom, five groomsmen and two dads, all measured on different days. One lives interstate and nobody's paid.How we fix itA wedding party portal: everyone books their fitting, sees the look, pays their share and the groom sees who's done.

03The systems
The big ones
Your whole menswear store, on one system.
These are the systems menswear stores ask us about most. Each one works on its own. Join them up and the measurements, orders and stock all follow the customer.
Measurement profiles
Measure once. Trust it every time.
Every customer gets a profile with their measurements, fit notes and photos, saved on a tablet at the fitting. Nobody hunts for a card and nobody has to be measured twice unless something's changed.
- Measurements entered on a tablet at the fitting
- Separate profiles for shirts, trousers and jackets
- Fit notes like dropped shoulder or prefers slim
- Photos from the fitting saved to the profile
- History of every change with dates
- Which tailor measured them and when
- Body changes flagged before reordering
- Linked to every order they've placed
Made-to-measure orders
Orders that reach the maker right first time.
Build the order from the saved profile, pick the fabric and the details and the system checks nothing's missing. It goes to your maker or workroom in their format and the customer is kept posted until the final fitting.
- Fabric, lining and button choices
- Lapel, vents, pockets and monograms
- Missing options flagged before sending
- Order sheets in your maker's format
- Status from placed to cut to arrived
- Automatic SMS when it's ready
- Deposits and balances on every order
- Online reorders approved by your team
- Invoices to Xero
Wedding parties
One link for the whole wedding party.
The groom gets a portal with the look, the date and a list of everyone in the party. Groomsmen book their own fittings, pay their share and see what's next, while you see who's still dragging their feet.

- The look with fabric and accessories
- Each groomsman books their own fitting
- Split payments or groom pays all
- Interstate measurements with a guide
- Who's measured, paid and fitted
- Reminders to the slackers
- Hire or buy for each person

- Staff and fitting room calendars
- Alterations tickets with due dates
- Tailor workload for the week
- Rush jobs flagged for events

Store & online
One stock count, in store and online.
Your POS and online store share the same size runs so the last 40 regular only sells once. Customer wardrobes help staff suggest what goes with what they already own.
- POS and online stock in sync
- Size matrices by style and colour
- Low-stock alerts by size
- Click and collect
- Afterpay at checkout
- Size guides linked to profiles
- Customer wardrobe history

07How we work
The process
Some people dip their toe in. We turn up in a rebreather.
We get properly below the surface of your menswear store: the systems, the busy days and the jobs everyone hates. Then we fix the bits that matter most first.
- 01
Think
We spend time on the shop floor, in the fitting room and with your tailor, then work out what's actually slowing you down.
- 02
Archi-tech
We plan it before writing code: your measurements, makers, wedding parties, stock, hosting and cost.
- 03
Build
Real engineering, shown to you early and often. Usually measurement profiles first, so you get a win before wedding season.
- 04
Look after
We host it, maintain it and keep improving it. When something breaks you call the people who built it.
08Questions
FAQ
Things menswear stores ask us.
Something else on your mind? Ring 0423 011 252 and ask the people who'd build it.
Can customers reorder shirts online without another fitting?
Yes. Once their measurements are saved they can reorder from their profile. You can approve each order before it goes to the maker in case anything needs checking.
Can groomsmen in other cities be included?
Yes. They can submit measurements with a step-by-step guide or visit a partner tailor. Either way it all lands in the wedding party portal.
Can you get our existing measurement cards into the system?
Yes. We can work out the easiest way to bring them across, whether that's a spreadsheet you already have or entering them as customers come back in.
Can orders go to our maker in the format they need?
Yes. We set up the order sheet to match how your maker or workroom wants it, so nothing gets retyped.
Do we have to switch from Shopify or Lightspeed?
No. If your POS and online store are doing their job we build around them and keep the stock in sync. If something's holding you back we'll show you what replacing it would involve first.
How much does a menswear system cost?
It depends on what you need, so we quote up front once we understand it. No surprise invoices, no lock-in and you own what we build.
How long does it take?
Smaller jobs like fitting bookings or measurement profiles can be quick. Bigger systems are built in stages so you get the first win early instead of waiting for everything at once.
Who looks after it once it's built?
We do. We host it on our own managed servers and keep it updated and secure. When you need something you ring the people who built it.
We already have systems. Can you upgrade them instead of starting again?
Usually, yes. Most menswear stores we work with keep what's working and upgrade the rest in stages. We move your data across, connect the old and new while we switch and retire the old system only when the new one is proven.
