Summary:
The Challenge:
- WORN-OUT, LOW QUALITY UNIFORMS
Uniforms and workwear were not durable enough to withstand the work required for this company. Work shirts and pants, along with outerwear, wore out quickly, due to the poor quality coupled with the lack of ongoing uniform maintenance. This affected the company’s professional image with customers, and increased costs in uniform service because of the frequent need for uniform replacements. - POOR INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Without proper centralized oversight from their provider, garment inventories ballooned at various branches, tying up resources and adding confusion to uniform management. The company struggled with its uniform program, leading to an overabundance of work uniforms, inefficiencies, and wasted resources. - BILLING INCONSISTENCIES
The company dealt with variable invoices from location to location, making cost control and budgeting difficult and unreliable to track and manage costs effectively. This eroded trust in the relationships with their provider.

High-quality, durable uniforms and workwear
Streamlined inventory management
Consistent billing
