Software for embroidery shop owners
A teamwear repeat, a monogrammed gift and a box of customer-supplied jackets need different conversations. Keep quantities, garment details, agreed decoration and delivery arrangements beside the customer account, while your embroidery equipment and design tools handle the production work.
Unleash your potential.
The everyday details
A logo approved for a polo may not suit a cap or a heavy jacket. Record the garment type, decoration position and version the customer has agreed. Keep artwork approval in your existing process rather than assuming a previous order covers the change.
Customers may bring mixed sizes, colors and styles in the same bag. Record the quantities accepted and distinguish their garments from blanks you supply. Check what has arrived before you commit to the finished order and its price.
Thread, backing, needles, topping and packaging can be easy to overlook beside a large garment purchase. Separate production materials from design preparation and finishing when you build the estimate, then compare the recorded costs after the work leaves.
How Microtra helps
Use the tools that fit your day, with your records ready on your phone or on the web.
Save customer contact details and use order notes for garment descriptions, decoration positions and agreed instructions. Retail shop uses Order and Customer without linked records. Keep specialist artwork files and approval steps in your chosen design workflow.
Explore this featureCreate estimates with saved items and quantities for supplied blanks, decoration, setup and other agreed work. Enter the stitch or setup calculation yourself. Microtra does not digitize logos, create stitch files or program an embroidery machine.
Explore this featureUse stock locations and physical counts for the items you track, such as blanks and consumables. Record transfers and wastage where relevant. Check actual usable thread and garment availability before promising production; general stock counts are not a machine scheduling system.
Explore this featureKeep supplier contacts and price lists, and prepare purchase orders for blanks or supplies. Review colors and sizes against the customer's brief before ordering. Supplier bills and material costs help you follow the spending behind the finished pieces.
Explore this featureReview garment quantities and agreed preparation charges before sharing an invoice PDF through your device. Record payment received through your existing method. Microtra card charging and online package sales are coming soon.
Explore this featureA day in the life
Confirm sizes, colors, supplied blanks and decoration locations. Put the agreed order detail in writing so a mixed bag of workwear does not turn into an ambiguous description at collection.
Separate blank garments, setup and decoration items. Discuss how changes or additional pieces will be handled, and complete your artwork and sample approval process before production starts.
Review physical quantities, place any supplier order and note material costs. Scheduling starts off for Retail shop; enable it in Modules & terms before using the calendar to arrange an order-related appointment.
Check finished quantities against the agreed order and record any approved changes. Share the invoice, record money received elsewhere and retain useful customer notes for a genuinely comparable repeat request.

No. It handles customer records, estimates, orders, purchasing and invoices. Use specialist embroidery software for digitizing, stitch editing, machine formats and production settings. A saved business item does not contain a stitch program or verify a design's sewability.
Saved items and variants can represent the products you sell, with stock by location. Decide how you will name sizes and colors consistently, then check counts against the physical garments rather than relying on a vague shirt description.
You can describe accepted garments and quantities in order notes, but Microtra does not provide a specialist garment custody or barcode production workflow. Use your own intake checks, identification and handover process for pieces entrusted to you.
Public online booking and the client portal are coming soon. Take the brief directly, confirm the approved artwork through your existing process and enter the order yourself. Sharing an invoice PDF does not publish a storefront or approve a design.
