Measurement history.
A column for every visit, so you can see a chest move from 92 to 93.5 over two years. Edit a typo. Delete a duplicate. Switch the shop from inches to centimetres and old cards follow.
For alterations shops and tailors
The measurement card that never gets lost.
Tapeline keeps every customer's measurements, every alteration job and every claim tag on the counter computer and the workroom phone. No account, no server, nothing to install.
Runs in your browser. Your records stay on your machine.

What a shop runs on today
A card box, a spike of tickets, and a very good memory.
Cards get written over and go stale. Tickets get misread at pickup. Someone asks “when was it ready?” and nobody is sure. And none of it is backed up.
- Lost cards
- Misread tags
- Nothing backed up
How it works
Measure, log, tag, done.
-
Measure once, then only what moved.
Fourteen fields, in the order you measure. The next visit starts prefilled from the last one, so you type only the changes, and the card shows every change with a sign.
-
Log the job as the garment comes in.
A garment, the alterations wanted, a price on each line, a due date. Take a photo from the phone so the right trousers go with the right ticket. Every job gets a short number.
-
Print the tag, move it across the board.
One tap prints a tag for the garment and a stub for the customer on the same sheet. The board shows what is waiting, in progress and ready, marks anything overdue, and logs each move with a time.
What is in the box
Everything the counter needs. Nothing it does not.
A board with four columns.
Received, In progress, Ready, Collected. Jobs sort by due date, overdue ones turn red, and “Due today” is written for you. Collected stays short on its own.
Garment photos.
Taken on the phone, downscaled on the device, kept with the job. Open one full size to check a stain or a seam before you start.
Claim tag and stub.
The garment tag and the customer's stub print on one Letter or A4 sheet with a cut line between them. Shop name, phone, job number, garment, every alteration, dates and the total.
Counter and workroom.
A top bar on the desktop, a tab bar on the phone. Search a customer by name or three digits of their number. Tap the number to call them when the garment is ready.

The real thing
This is Tapeline, running on this page.
Nothing here is a mock-up. Open Settings inside the frame and choose “Load sample data” to see three customers, their cards and five jobs on the board. Or open it full size and start with your own.
Open full size
Sample data can be loaded only while the shop is empty, so it never overwrites real records.
Put the card box away.
Open Tapeline on the counter computer and bookmark it. Add the first customer on their next visit. That is the whole setup.
