Real-World Example

"When Mohammed orders a custom wedding suit, the sales associate creates a detailed order in the system. They record 24 precise measurements and attach reference photos of the desired style. Mohammed selects premium Italian wool fabric, mother-of-pearl buttons, and requests a custom monogram inside the jacket. The system automatically calculates material requirements, deducts fabric from inventory, and estimates 25 hours of labor. The order is assigned to Omar, their master tailor, with a production schedule including two fittings over three weeks. As each production stage is completed, the system updates the order status and sends Mohammed progress notifications. After the final fitting and approval, the completed suit is prepared for delivery, and the system generates the final invoice with a detailed breakdown of materials and services."
