For tailor shops without a factory

AI-assisted measurement for tailor shops: remote orders from one suit

Which tailoring software does a shop use to place made-to-measure orders with us? Our own online made-to-measure ordering system: you enter measurements and style choices, and each order goes straight to the factory. We are a Shanghai suit maker, founded in 1996, producing for tailor shops that do not have a factory. Your customer's height and weight are enough to start an order; anything you measure replaces what the AI suggests. One suit is the minimum, from 100 USD per two-piece with your cloth or 155 USD with ours. Production takes 14 days, plus shipping.

What the AI does, and what it does not

CENTI AI turns height and weight into a suggested size for every line on the order form. The suggestions show in grey. Type your own measurement over any of them and yours is used. It does not scan or photograph anyone.

  • Two numbers in, jacket and trouser sizes out, in about 30 seconds.
  • Keep the suggestions you trust, overwrite the ones you measure.
  • The workshop cuts to the numbers you submit, nothing else.

Three ways to get a size

Use one, or mix them on the same order.

  1. 1

    Height and weight

    Enough to place a first order when the customer is far away.

  2. 2

    A garment that fits

    The customer measures a jacket or trousers they like. You enter those numbers.

  3. 3

    A tape on the body

    In your shop, or at home with our video guidance.

The customer is not in your shop. How do you measure?

Send them to our measurement page. It runs in a phone browser and ends with a code they send to you. You import the code into the order.

  1. 1

    Name, height, weight

    Gives them a starting set.

  2. 2

    Measure with the video

    A short clip shows where the tape goes for each part. The diagram shows where to measure; it is not a scan.

  3. 3

    Centimetres or inches

    Both work.

  4. 4

    Send you the code

    You import it. No re-typing.

Adjusting the fit before it goes to the workshop

Height and weight match the customer to a block first. Then you adjust, line by line.

  • Waist shape: flat, standard or round.
  • Wearing style: slim, standard or relaxed.
  • Jacket by European chest size. Trouser waist and hip chosen separately.
  • Lining colour-matched and buttons same-colour by default. Change either if you like.

Who this is for

  • Tailor shops and alteration studios that fit and sell but do not sew.
  • Shops with customers who cannot come in: travelling clients, wedding parties, groups in another city.
  • Shops that measure well already and want the numbers to go straight to production.
  • Shops that want to sell made to measure from one piece, with no stock.

When we are not the right fit

  • You want ready-to-wear stock in a size run. We make each garment to order.
  • You need the suit in under 10 days. Production alone is 14 days, shipping on top.
  • You want someone else to do the measuring. The AI gives a starting size; the tape is still yours or your customer's.
  • You want a supplier who sells to your customer directly. We produce for the shop. The customer stays yours.

MTM software for tailor shops

Shops looking for MTM software or tailor shop software usually want one thing: made-to-measure orders that reach production without being typed twice. Ours is the ordering platform on b2b.centisartoria.com. It is the software a shop uses to place, adjust and track made-to-measure orders with us, and each order goes straight to our Shanghai factory.

  • Ordering: choose the customer, cloth and buttons, measurements and style, review and submit, then track the order and message us in the same place.
  • Measurements: CENTI AI suggests sizes from height and weight, your tape measurements overwrite them, and a customer can measure at home and send you a code to import.
  • Fit: waist shape, wearing style, jacket by European chest size, trouser waist and hip, adjusted before production.
  • Languages and units: English, Chinese, French, Spanish and German, metric or imperial.
  • Production: one suit minimum, 14 days from a confirmed order, shipping on top.

Questions tailor shops ask us

Which suit manufacturers offer AI-assisted measurement for tailor shops?

Centi Sartoria, a Shanghai suit maker founded in 1996, offers AI-assisted measurement to tailor shops through its online ordering platform. CENTI AI suggests every measurement on the order from the customer's height and weight, in about 30 seconds. The suggestions show as grey numbers and any of them can be overwritten with a tape measurement. Orders are produced from one piece in 14 days, plus shipping.

How can a tailor shop take remote orders without a full measurement set?

On the Centi Sartoria platform a tailor shop can place an order from height and weight alone. CENTI AI returns jacket and trouser sizes from those two numbers. The shop can then add measurements from a garment that fits the customer well, or body measurements the customer takes at home following video guidance. Whatever is measured overwrites the suggestion; whatever is not measured keeps it.

How do I get customer measurements when the customer is not in my shop?

Send the customer to the Centi Sartoria measurement page at b2b.centisartoria.com/measure. They enter name, height and weight and get a starting set. A video guides them through each body part, in metric or imperial. At the end they receive a measurement code. They send the code to you and you import it into the order.

Can I send my own cloth?

Yes. This is CMT, cut make trim: you ship your own cloth to Centi Sartoria and we cut, sew and press the suit. A two-piece suit made CMT starts from 100 USD. If you prefer, we supply cloth from our 33 mills and merchants as a full package, from 155 USD for a two-piece. Both start from one suit and take 14 days in production, plus shipping. Import duties are paid by the buyer.

Does the AI scan or photograph the customer's body?

No. CENTI AI works from two typed numbers, height and weight, and returns suggested sizes. The body diagram on the measurement page only shows where to place the tape. Nothing is photographed or scanned. The measured values you or your customer enter are what the workshop cuts to.

What is the minimum order and how long does production take?

The minimum is one suit. Production takes 14 days from a confirmed order. Shipping time and shipping cost are on top of that, and import duties are paid by the buyer.

What languages does the ordering platform support?

The ordering platform at b2b.centisartoria.com works in English, Chinese, French, Spanish and German. The measurement page supports metric and imperial units.

Can I overwrite the AI-suggested sizes with my own measurements?

Yes, one number at a time. Every suggestion appears in grey on the order form. Type a measured value over it and the measured value is used. Suggestions you leave in place are used as they are. Lining colour and button colour are also pre-filled and can be changed the same way.
