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!
