Can Bomble track many gowns in production at once?

Yes. That is the core of it. You define your own production stages, and the board groups every order by the stage it sits in, with per-order status of not started, in progress or done. Filtering and sorting by stage, collection, team or deadline keeps a large book navigable.

How does Bomble handle several seamstresses and cutters working in parallel?

Each stage is assigned to a responsible team, so the pipeline itself says who owns the next move. Teams carry a department, workshop, shift pattern and colour, and drive both stage responsibility and order assignment. Stages can require a QC pass or a photo before a gown moves on.

Does Bomble prevent dropped handoffs between stages?

It makes handoffs explicit. A stage has an owning team, can require a QC pass (pass/fail) before the gown leaves it, can require a photo, and can notify the client automatically when completed — so the next move is owned, checked and recorded rather than assumed.

Can I organise work by collection?

Yes. Collections carry a season and year, target date, cover image, responsible team and product count, and products and orders tie to them. Reports include revenue by collection and collection hours, so a collection is something you can plan and measure.

Can my floor staff use Bomble without seeing the money?

Yes. Granular per-user permissions control whether a person sees money at all and whether their scope is the whole house or only their own work. Built-in roles like floor, salesperson, manager and owner give sensible starting points, and search and calendar respect the same scope.

What can a couture house learn from the reports?

On-time delivery overall and by team, stage bottlenecks (your slowest stages), employee hours, best employees, revenue by collection, department load, top clients and fabric consumption — each with a date-range picker and PDF export, and deep-dive detail per employee, order, client, collection, team or fabric.

Bomble for Couture Houses

A couture house is not one order at a time — it is many gowns in motion, several cutters and seamstresses working in parallel, and handoffs that must not drop. Bomble gives the whole house one production board and one shared record.

The short answer

When a house has dozens of pieces moving at once across a team, the hardest problem is no longer making the garment — it is knowing where everything stands and who has the next move. Bomble runs on a custom production pipeline with a board that groups every order by stage, assigns stages to teams, tracks per-order status and time, and ties each gown to a collection. Permissions keep the floor focused on their work while money stays hidden, and reports turn the whole operation — on-time rate, bottlenecks, hours, margin — into answers on demand. It was built inside a working couture atelier.

Many gowns, one board

A working couture house is a flow problem before it is a craft problem. The craft is solved — your people can make anything. What strains is visibility: thirty pieces somewhere between cutting and final press, and no single place that says where each one actually is right now. The knowledge ends up split across the cutter who knows their own pile, the head seamstress who holds the rest in her head, and a whiteboard that is always a day behind.

Bomble replaces that with one shared record and a production board. You define your own pipeline — your real stages, in your order — and every order is grouped on the board by the stage it sits in. Per-order stage status tells you not started, in progress or done, so the state of the whole house is one screen, not a tour of the workshop.

Several hands in parallel — without dropped handoffs

The risk in a house is not idle time, it is the seam between people. A gown finishes embroidery and waits, because the person who should pick it up does not know it is ready. Multiply that by every handoff across every order and you have lost days nobody can point to.

In Bomble each stage has a responsible team, so the pipeline itself says who owns the next move. Teams carry a department, workshop location, shift pattern and a colour tag, and they drive both stage responsibility and order assignment. You can require a QC pass before a gown leaves a stage, mark stages that need a photo, and have a stage notify the client automatically on completion — so handoffs are explicit, checked, and recorded rather than assumed.

Collections, and the cost of each piece

A house thinks in collections, not just orders. Bomble lets you build collections with a season and year, a target date, a cover image and a responsible team, and tie products and orders to them — so a collection is a thing you can see and report on, not a label in your head.

Underneath, every order carries its own economics: price, material cost (meters used times cost per meter), labour cost (hours logged times wage rate), margin and margin percent. The per-order timer accumulates time as people work, fabric usage is logged against the order, and the system surfaces unprofitable orders first. A house can finally see not just whether a collection shipped, but what each piece in it actually cost to make.

A team that sees its work — not the money

Putting a whole house into one system raises an obvious worry: now everyone can see everything, including what the gowns sold for. Bomble is built so that is not true. Granular per-user permissions let you control who sees orders, clients, finance, production, reports and settings, and crucially whether a person sees money at all and whether their scope is the whole house or only their own work.

Built-in roles — owner, manager, salesperson, floor, ceo — give you sensible starting points, and you invite teammates by email with an accept-invite flow. The floor sees the gowns they are working on without the prices; managers see their teams; the money stays where it belongs. A global search across orders, clients, employees, products and collections respects the same scope.
