The job card
The paper works order, captured once and printed back out as the papers the floor already uses.
- Size run per colourway
- Branding specification per logo
- Cutting sheet, setup sheet, embroidery card
White-label operations for garment decorators
From the first cut to the courier.
Toile is the system a decoration shop runs on. The job card is captured once at the counter, and it carries the work all the way through costing, artwork approval, the floor, dispatch and the invoice — under your own brand.
The problem
Four businesses sharing one job number.
A decoration shop is a sales desk, an art studio, a factory and a debtors book at the same time. When the quote is a spreadsheet, the approval is an email, the schedule is a whiteboard and the costing is in someone's head, every handover is a re-key — and the re-keys are where jobs go missing, get embroidered wrong, or ship before anyone has been paid.
The order, end to end
One job card, nine steps, no re-typing.
Every step below writes to the same order. Nothing is copied from one system into another.
Capture
The job card: garments, size runs, fabric, and every logo with its position, method and stitch count.
Cost
Fabric, trims, branding and labour on one sheet — embroidery by the stitch — beside what your rate card charges.
Quote
The customer gets a quotation on a link. Accepting it turns it into a works order with its own number.
Approve
Artwork, digitising and DTF sign-offs. The approval cards hold the invoice until they are back.
Bill
A pro-forma first, then the tax invoice the moment the first payment lands. Deposits gate production.
Release
Cards go to the departments that do the work: cutting, embroidery, sublimation, buy-out, QA, packing.
Make
Operators punch in at the station with a PIN. Real labour time is recorded as the job runs.
Dispatch
Cartons with real dimensions, courier booking, tracking and split shipments.
Collect
Statements, credit notes and an append-only ledger, with an export your bookkeeper can read.
What it runs
Built for how decorators actually work.
Not a generic ERP with an apparel skin. The vocabulary is the shop's own: size runs, colourways, placements, stitch counts, screens and setup fees.
Costing by the stitch
What a job costs you, section by section, against what your rate card charges for it.
- Banded rates by quantity and stitch count
- Trims by the pack, labour by the quarter hour
- Suggested price per garment from your markup
Approvals that stick
The customer approves artwork on a link with no login, and the approval is kept against that version.
- Signed, expiring review links
- Chat on the order, staff-only or shared
- Digitising checklist for the machine file
The floor
A tablet per station. Workers sign in with a PIN, and steps cannot start before the ones they depend on.
- Station tokens, no shared passwords
- Labour time versus elapsed time
- QC inspections and defect codes
Money
One place decides what is owed, what was paid and what may ship.
- Pro-forma, tax invoice, credit note
- Deposit gates before production
- Debtors, statements and accounting export
Stock and buying
Materials, bills of materials and purchase orders that reach the supplier by email.
- On-hand from movements, not guesses
- Goods receipt against the order
- Reorder signals
Who sees what
Three doors into the same order.
Each person gets the screen their job needs, and nothing else.
Staff admin
Sales, costing, accounts and the factory office: the whole order, its cards, its money and its papers.
Customer portal
Your customers approve artwork, follow the order, keep their logos on file and order the same again.
Floor tablet
Big buttons, gloves-on. Pair the station once, then it is PIN in, punch, PIN out.
White-label
Your shop's name on it. Ours in the corner.
Staff, customers and suppliers see your brand, your colours, your documents and your domain. Toile sits where a maker's label sits — small, and honest about who built it.

Getting started
A shop at a time, cut in cheap cotton first.
We set the system up around how your shop already works, run it beside your paper for a few real jobs, and chalk the corrections before anything is final. Pricing is per shop and depends on what you switch on.
