Most Companies Struggle With….

  • Overcharges and Surprise Fees
    Because major uniform rental providers have little motivation to price their services competitively, they aren’t likely to provide anyone but high-volume customers like Fortune 500 companies with significant discounts. Unexpected and highly variable, sometimes hidden fees also make the uniform rental bill add up too much, too quickly.
  • Unresponsive Customer Service
    Too many businesses find themselves frustrated when they try to ask their uniform providers about such common challenges as dirty, damaged, and lost garments; delayed deliveries; and invoice irregularities. Small businesses have even less confidence their concerns will receive prompt attention.
  • “Cookie-Cutter” Uniform Solutions
    True customization goes far beyond slapping your business’s brand on a uniform. It takes into account the kind of work each person wearing the clothes performs, any highly specialized needs (such as for worker safety), and general comfort (issues of cloth and cut).
  • Limited Access to National Suppliers
    National uniform suppliers offer a wide selection of garments, a large geographic footprint, and can afford to charge competitive rates. But unless your workforce is large enough to appear profitable to these suppliers, your business may have trouble securing a contract, let alone an advantageous one.
  • Scattered Sourcing of Products and Services
    Your business may have textile needs beyond workwear—for example, floor mats, towels, microfiber cleaners, and paper and tissue products—or facility services such as cleaning and disinfectant chemicals. Procuring them from your uniform supplier could prove convenient and cost-effective.
