5. Barcodes & RFID Chips – Each of your garments are barcoded or chipped with and RFID chip. These barcodes give us lots of information to be able to help you locate missing pieces or when repairs and mends have to be made to your garment. From these barcodes and RFID chips, we can tell exactly what garments are assigned to you, how many times those garments have been washed, when the last time you turned in each individual garment was, and what pieces are scheduled for your next delivery. This helps us locate items when something is missing and helps us to better serve you.
4. Your rental uniforms are counted 4 times per delivery cycle – To ensure reduced shortages, each and every single garment is counted 4 times during each delivery cycle.
