Peak season does not invent new problems; it multiplies existing ones. Double booking, dirty rebooks, overdue returns, and deposit fights all happen on the same weekend. Shops that “add more Excel tabs” usually add more conflict.
Peak-season operating loop
- Inquiry → availability by product or by date + category
- Booking with sub-orders if multi-function
- Deposit collection + WhatsApp/invoice terms
- Alterations queue → ready to dispatch
- Dispatch list + challan
- Return list → washing → deposit settlement
- Disputed list cleared before Monday’s new promises
Tradock-supported workflow
Dashboard today’s counts, Summary tabs, Availability Check, washing board, deposit held/returned, Order Payments report for cash vs online, roles so temporary season staff cannot edit taxes, and offline mobile when the shop Wi‑Fi collapses under load.
