Spotlight: How Mabena Uses Boafuo to Never Ask Twice
Mabena's tailor never loses a measurement again. With Boafuo, the WhatsApp tailoring app that remembers every detail, each client’s size and order stay saved, searchable, and ready for the next design.
Save Customer Measurements
2025
“I never want to ask twice.”
For Mabena, a trusted client’s disappointment once left a mark.
She’d made a beautiful dress before. She remembered the woman’s name, her face, the way she’d smiled at delivery. But now the client was on the phone again, asking for something new, and Mabena found herself flipping through pages, scrolling old messages, unsure where the measurements had gone.
“I asked her to wait... I felt bad the moment I said it.”
In the life of a tailor, memory isn’t enough. It’s professionalism, trust, and speed. When one slips, so can all the others. For Mabena, it was the moment she knew her system had to evolve.
Meet Mabena
Mabena is a tailor based in Accra. She works solo, making custom pieces for women in her neighbourhood, sometimes from a reference photo, sometimes from just a conversation.
“Most clients contact me on WhatsApp. That’s where everything starts.”
And that’s where everything used to stay: screenshots, voice notes, random numbers.
“Some were in old chats, some written in my book, some I just remembered in my head.”
But being good wasn’t enough. She wanted to feel in control. She wanted to show up ready every time.
One Simple Switch
That’s when Mabena found Boafuo.
Boafuo is a WhatsApp-native assistant built for tailors, especially those working alone or managing their workflow through chat. It listens for measurements, understands what they are, and links them directly to the right client.
“Now, when I take measurements, I just say them or type. Boafuo saves them automatically.”
No app-switching. No copying. No forgetting.
Next time that client calls? Boafuo remembers.
Behind the Feature: How It Works
The core of this feature is a real-time WhatsApp-integrated language parser. Boafuo detects measurements shared in any natural format, whether typed or spoken, and:
Extracts the values
Maps them to standard tailoring fields
Links them to the sender’s profile (by WhatsApp number)
Updates the saved measurements instantly
“Even when I voice note, it understands.”
If the client’s body changes, Mabena updates it once, and it’s saved everywhere. Clean, fast, and always in reach.
The Emotional Difference
It’s not just about workflow.
“When a client returns and I already know her size, it feels different. Like I was ready. Like I respected her.”
Boafuo helps Mabena show up as the professional she already is.
“Before, I looked for things. Now, I’m ready when they are.”
What’s Next for Boafuo
Boafuo started with one mission: to remove the chaos from tailoring.
But it’s growing fast.
Coming next:
Seamless order tracking
Design inspiration feeds
Delivery and pickup coordination
Client feedback and return management
All layered around one idea: a smart workspace inside WhatsApp.
