5 Things You Might Not Know About Your Rental Uniforms

Tweet
 
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.  This allows us to provide you with valuable information on the status of each of your garment and to make sure you get back what you turn in.  Your garments are counted at customer pick up, after they are laundered and finished, before loading for delivery, and at customer delivery.  Each and every time your garments are counted at this 4 point process and then the cycle begins all over again. 

3. Repairs done right and before you have to ask – many repairs are made before you even have to ask.  We ensure your garments are in tip top shape with the 10 point collar to cuff weekly inspection.  This inspection covers 10 points on your shirts and pants.  Shirts are inspected for overall cleanliness, identification tags, shoulder panel, collar, emblems and pockets, sleeve, button and front button panel, underarm & side seams, cuffs, and the back panel.  Pants are reviewed for overall cleanliness, buttons & fasteners, pockets, side seams & inseams, hems, rear seam, under seam, zipper, waist band & belt loops, and the identification tags.  Making sure every inch of your uniforms are reviewed for mending needs. 

2. Uniforms Build Trust – Consumer surveys continue to show that the public prefers your employees be in uniforms.  Uniformed employees are seen as more professional, more credible, more service oriented, more capable, and make the work place feel safer.  Consumers know who your employees are before they ever verbally identify themselves.  Customers have also voiced that they are more likely to do business with a company whose employees are in uniforms over a business whose employees are not.

1. Uniforms stretch your marketing dollars – Who knew uniforms could be effective marketing tools?  When questioning several different industries, we have found that 70-90% of most industries agree uniforms help to stretch their marketing dollar.  90% of passenger transit companies & wholesalers, 80% of building general contractors & food manufacturers, and 70% of automotive repair services agree.   Having your name and logo in more locations can only help to stretch that dollar even more!

Relationships Can Be Strengthened By Uniforms

Many spouses or significant others love to hear the following phrase, "I don't have any laundry that needs to be done."  This is a goal of a uniform rental company...to provide crisp, image-making uniforms to our customers.

We relieve the everyday stress of laundry, and we make sure your work uniforms are ready for the hard day ahead. Did you know that a family of four spends an average of 12 hours a week doing laundry?  That's a lot of time especially if you work at least 8 hours a day plus all your children's activities.  Your work uniforms should be the last thing on your mind!  This doesn't even take in to account the money saved by not using your washer and dryer, detergent, and water.

If this hasn't convinced you already, here are some more reasons why you should use a uniform rental company:

  • We provide proper uniform care to extend the life of your garments.
  • We do regular fit sessions (for those of you that need bigger uniforms for the holidays...OR the ones that actually stick to your New Years resolution!)
  • We use specific wash formulas for all the different types of jobs out there..whether its automotive or executive management.

So if I have piqued your interest even a little bit..check us out at www.sitex-corp.com!

Once you have chosen your employee uniforms, how do you properly care for them and keep their cleaning efficient and organized?

SITEX has implemented a new sorting and tracking system, SITRAX to just this.

What is SITRAX: An automated sorting and tracking system using bar code and radio frequency technology. Bar code labels and radio frequency chips are placed in garments, mats, and other items and then tracked throughout the preparation and laundry process.

Our SITRAX automated tracking and sorting system ensures that your uniforms, linens, and mats are accurately identified, sorted, and tracked throughout our facility, eliminating shortages and misplaced items.

SITRAX can accurately account for items by: tracking inventory, tracking where an item is in our facility, tracking how often the item is turned in, tracking the life of an item, and tracking the number of repairs and replacements of items. All of this leads to better accountability, complete accuracy, better customer satisfaction, and lower costs for our valued customers.
