Who it’s for
For businesses that want to stitch more and digitize less
Whether a stand in a shopping centre, a local shop or a decorator with a web shop – Stitchomat takes the work before the machine off your hands.
Pop-up stands and events
Stands with walk-in customers in shopping centres or furniture stores, industrial machines on site.
Today
Names are done right away. A custom motif has to be digitized first – a few hours quickly turn into several days. The customer has to come back or walks away. On Saturdays there’s a queue and everyone wants advice.
What hurts
- The impulse purchase is gone if the motif is only ready in three days.
- Advising the queue ties up staff while machines stand still.
- Digitizing is the bottleneck – expensive in-house, slow outsourced.
- Misunderstandings about spelling, colour or size lead to rework.
How Stitchomat helps
- QR sign in the queue and a kiosk at the stand: customers design while they wait.
- Order code equals queue number. Your list shows preview, stitch count, stitching time, thread colours and traffic light – so you can plan your machines.
- DST and thread list via USB stick, like today.
- Customers see exactly what will be stitched before they pay.
Common objections
- “AI can’t make embroidery files.”
- AI only draws the motif. A real embroidery engine places the stitches. A test day on your machine proves it.
- “The Wi-Fi in the mall is bad.”
- The kiosk runs on mobile internet. Order codes can also be fetched in the workshop.
Local embroidery shop
A shop with one to three people and one or two machines. Customers: clubs, trades, schools, gifts.
Today
The logo arrives as a blurry picture via messenger. Digitizing happens in the evening, then a test stitch, corrections, approval by photo. Two or three days for one shirt.
What hurts
- Digitizing eats time, often after hours.
- Poor artwork means several rounds of corrections.
- Small orders barely pay off because of the setup.
- Gift orders only come in through the shop.
How Stitchomat helps
- Upload a logo at the counter: traffic light, stitch preview and stitch count in seconds. The customer approves the preview on the spot.
- Names and monograms from professional embroidery fonts, unlimited.
- A QR code in the shop for gifts with names.
- Complex logos stay with you – the traffic light only lets simple ones through automatically.
Common objections
- “I digitize better than any software.”
- For complex logos, that’s true. Stitchomat takes the simple cases and all names off your hands, so you have time for the hard ones.
- “Another subscription.”
- Cancel monthly, and try 14 days without a payment method.
- “My customers aren’t digital.”
- With the counter tool you operate Stitchomat yourself while the customer watches.
B2B decorators with a web shop
Five to twenty staff, multi-head machines and print. Customers: clubs, corporate workwear, teamwear, merch.
Today
Logos arrive by email. The price depends on the stitch count, so a quote only comes after digitizing. Name lists for club shops get retyped.
What hurts
- Slow quotes – whoever sends preview and price first wins the club.
- Digitizing costs on many small orders.
- Names in the shop are manual work, and typos cost goods.
How Stitchomat helps
- Logo traffic light with stitch count for the price estimate, right in your first reply.
- Names as finished DST files instead of retyping.
- Shop embedding with stitch preview (Pro and Business), API and webhooks (Business) – planned for the next stages.
Common objections
- “We already have shop software.”
- Stitchomat complements it: logo traffic light and name files, not a replacement for your shop.
- “Club members’ names are personal data.”
- Data processing agreement included, servers in Germany, fixed deletion periods. Names from the name field go to no AI.
