Stop Flying Blind on the Numbers Behind Your Atelier
You can feel when the atelier is busy. You cannot feel your on-time rate, which collection earns, where orders stall, or which gown lost money. Bomble turns the work you already record into reports that answer those questions on demand.
Updated 19 June 2026
The short answer
Most ateliers run on instinct because the numbers are scattered across a spreadsheet, a notebook and the owner's memory — so on-time rate, revenue by collection and per-order profit are never actually known. Bomble builds reports from the orders, hours, payments and fabric you already record: on-time delivery, revenue by collection, employee hours, stage bottlenecks, top clients, fabric consumption and more, each with a date-range picker and PDF export. Per-order margin (price minus materials minus labour) shows exactly which work made money.
Running an atelier on a feeling is expensive
Ask most atelier owners how many orders shipped on time last quarter, which collection actually earned, or which gown lost money once you count the hours, and the honest answer is a shrug. The data exists — it is buried in deadlines met or missed, payments collected, hours worked and fabric cut — but it was never pulled together into an answer, so decisions get made on the loudest recent memory instead.
The cost is quiet and compounding. You repeat the order type that felt good but bled margin. You keep promising lead times your on-time history would warn you against. You never see the stage where every order goes to die, because no one measured how long each stage takes. None of these are mysteries; they are reports you have never run.
- On-time performance is a vibe, not a percentage you can defend to a client.
- You cannot say which collection or client actually drives revenue.
- Orders feel profitable until materials and labour are counted — and they rarely are.
- The slowest stage in your pipeline stays invisible, so it never gets fixed.
Reports built from work you already do
Bomble does not ask you to enter data twice. The reports are computed from the orders, stages, time logs, payments and fabric usage you already capture day to day, so the numbers reflect the real atelier rather than a spreadsheet someone remembered to update.
There is a report for each real question. On-time delivery percentage, overall and by team. Revenue by collection. Employee hours and your best employees. Stage bottlenecks that surface the slowest stages in your pipeline. Top clients by collected revenue. Fabric consumption. Employee of the Month. Each one comes with a date-range picker — today, 7 days, 30 days, 3 months, year or custom — and a PDF export to send or file.
- On-time delivery %, overall and broken down by team.
- Revenue by collection and top clients by collected revenue.
- Employee hours, best employees and Employee of the Month.
- Stage bottlenecks (slowest stages) and fabric consumption.
- Date presets — today, 7d, 30d, 3mo, year or custom — plus PDF export on every report.
See the margin on every single order
The report that changes how an atelier prices is per-order economics. Bomble takes the order price, subtracts material cost (meters used × cost per meter) and labour cost (hours logged × wage rate), and shows you margin and margin % for that order. Orders are sorted to surface the unprofitable ones first, so the gown that quietly lost money does not stay quiet.
Around it sit the finance KPIs that frame the whole picture — booked revenue, collected, outstanding balance, collected this month — and deep-dive detail reports per employee, order, client, collection, team and fabric. The result is not a dashboard you admire; it is the number you needed before you quote the next bride.
- Per-order margin = price − material cost − labour cost, with margin %.
- Unprofitable orders sorted to the top so they cannot hide.
- Finance KPIs: booked revenue, collected, outstanding balance, collected this month.
- Deep-dive detail reports per employee, order, client, collection, team and fabric.

Frequently asked questions
- What reports does Bomble include?
- On-time delivery (overall and by team), revenue by collection, employee hours, best employees, Employee of the Month, order hours, stage bottlenecks, collection hours, department load, top clients, payments timeline and fabric consumption — each with a date-range picker and PDF export.
- Can I see which orders actually made money?
- Yes. Per-order economics shows price minus material cost (meters × cost/meter) minus labour cost (hours × wage rate), giving margin and margin %. Orders are sorted to surface the unprofitable ones first.
- Can I choose the time period for a report?
- Every report has a date-range picker with presets for today, 7 days, 30 days, 3 months and year, plus a custom range, so you can compare any period you need.
- Can I export reports to PDF?
- Yes. Every report supports PDF export, so you can send a figure to a client, file it for the accountant or keep a record outside the app.
- Where do the numbers come from?
- From the work you already record — orders and deadlines, production stages, per-order timers and time logs, payments, and fabric usage logs. Nothing is entered twice; the reports are computed from real activity.
- Can I find which production stage is slowing everything down?
- Yes. The stage bottlenecks report surfaces the slowest stages in your pipeline, and department load shows where work is piling up, so you can fix the actual constraint instead of guessing.

Order Tracking for Couture Ateliers
When you have twenty gowns open at once, "where is that order?" should never need a phone call to the workroom. Bomble follows each order through your own stages and surfaces what is overdue, due soon, or in for a fitting today.
Client Measurements for Couture Ateliers
A client's body is the single most reused piece of data in your atelier — and the most likely to be lost in a notebook. Bomble holds 22 measurements per client, grouped by anatomy, ready to pull onto every order.
Deposit Tracking for Couture Ateliers
Couture runs on deposits — and deposits are exactly what a notebook loses track of. Bomble records what each client has paid against the price, keeps the outstanding balance live, and gives you a payment reminder with the figure built in.
See Exactly Which Stage Every Gown Is At
When you cannot say, off the top of your head, whether a gown is being cut, sewn, fitted or finished, the atelier is running on memory. Bomble turns that memory into a pipeline the whole floor can read.
