Taper’s mission is to make MTM universally accessible, usable and sustainable; for tailors, retailers and consumers.
For Retailers looking to launch MTM, Taper.ai is a turnkey SaaS and supply chain solution for any retailer wanting to offer tailor-made / custom / made-to-measure garments to their customers. Think of it as a purpose built ERP for running a custom product business inside a traditional retail business. Unlock additional revenue whilst utilising your existing retail stores, existing retail staff and existing customers – without having to invest in any stock.
Make MTM Simple.
Clients can continue to use their existing supply chain and simply use Taper.ai as the technology to run their business. Think of Taper.ai as the business hub to manage a MTM business (or product line) across various suppliers.
Prior to Taper.ai, I launched InStitchu. InStitchu is Australia’s leading MTM business and we currently sell around 3,000 MTM suit per month and 6,000 MTM shirts per month. We have taken the technology and IP that we created growing InStitchu and have built the World’s leading end-to-end software for managing a MTM business.
We are officially launching Taper.ai in March.
The question I continuously ask myself is “why have so few MTM businesses managed to scale their business?”. The answer is that MTM is an extremely complex business model and the only way to manage the complexities when operating at scale is with the right technology.
Most MTM software in the market is simply an order submission tool. This does not help you scale a business at all. You need margin analysis reports, fabric forecasting reports and most importantly, training reports. Taper.ai will notify the business owner or manager as soon as a Sales Associates measurements or remakes increase above a certain threshold and will inform the manager exactly what areas of measurement the Sales Associate needs training in. Furthermore, we provide the training resources that the business can use to train their staff if they don’t have the right internal capabilities.
In short, Taper.ai is the result of growing one of the worlds largest MTM businesses over 11 years. We did this by focussing on technology and in particular, technology setup to help make MTM Simple and most importantly, PROFITABLE!!!!
