Every measurement kept, every suit answerable to it.
DIGNITARY is for a shop that makes suits to measure. It keeps the customer, the figures taken off them, the garment promised, the money that arrives in pieces over weeks, and what the cloth cost — so the owner can say whether a particular suit earned anything.

What DIGNITARY does
The shop's own measuring sheet
Not a sheet designed by us. It is the tailor's own list, in the tailor's own order and words — Urefu, Bega, Kifua, Kiuno, Msamba, Goti — under the two headings it is written under on paper.
A body, measured over years
Each visit to the tape is a dated set, never an overwrite. A jacket cut last year was cut to last year's figures, so “it used to fit” has an answer.
English or Kiswahili
The whole console switches with two words in the header — the counter reads one language, the office often reads the other, and each machine stays as it was left.
Paid in instalments
A deposit at the fitting, the balance on collection, and whatever arrives in between. What is owed is always derived from the payments, so it can never drift from the receipts behind it.
What each garment cost
Cloth, lining and trimmings attributed to the order they went into — counted once, in the shop's spending, with the margin on that one suit shown beside its price.
Made and paid are two questions
A garment can be handed over with money still owed on it, so every order carries both states: how far along it is, and how much of it has been paid for.
The owner's console
Opens in a browser, on any device. The figures are the business's own, for whatever period the owner picks.
No till — web only
DIGNITARY records everything in the console itself. There is no counter terminal, because nothing here is rung up — the work is measured, promised, and paid for over weeks.
