Imagine this: you’re waiting for an order of freshly cleaned chef and waiter uniforms to arrive for your restaurant employees, but you have no idea when they will arrive. Your staff need these uniforms in time for a shift, and customers are on their way, but you haven’t heard a peep from your uniform supplier.
There is no way for you to track the order, and your staff end up having to wear dirty, old, wrinkled uniforms that customers definitely notice. As a result, employee morale is low, and customers are put off by unprofessional attire. If this has happened to you and your business, you’re certainly not alone, which is why we’re here to help.
Model Uniforms will discuss the perks of garment tracking, its importance for any business working with a uniform supplier, and how Model’s Automatic Complete (MAC) Tracking System can make life so much easier for you and your staff.
What Exactly Is Garment Tracking?
Garment tracking refers to the monitoring of the status and location of individual uniform garments, typically with the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags and barcodes.
These small tags and barcodes are usually placed inside of your team’s garments, whether it be pants, shirts, chef jackets, or doctor’s coats. This way, your garments can be easily tracked throughout every stage of a laundry or supply chain process.
The Benefits of Garment Tracking for Your Business
Tracking the location of your uniform garments with RFID has a wide range of advantages for your business. These are just a few of them:
Your Garments Are Much Cleaner and Safer
With the right garment tracking technology, it’s a lot easier to ensure that your team’s uniform garments are properly cleaned and maintained.
This is especially important for businesses in food service or healthcare, where uniforms need to be washed and dried thoroughly to keep people safe. Garment tracking ensures that every item gets the care and cleaning it needs to extend its lifespan and promote better workplace safety.
You Get a Better Understanding of Your Garment Inventory
With RFID technology, you can have individual garments scanned when they’re taken to be cleaned. This will give you and your employees a full understanding of your uniforms and what garments may be lost.
You can see how many garments are in storage, how many are checked out, and how many haven’t been returned. As a result, you can rest assured that your team has complete uniforms for every shift.
You Save Time and Money Through Increased Efficiency
One of the biggest benefits of garment tracking is that your business ends up saving significant time and money with a comprehensive tracking system. You know what items you have and which ones you don’t, so that you can be fully confident about when new garments need to be ordered.
It Increases Accountability for Your Team (and Uniform Supplier)
If garments are shown as missing in your tracking system, then it holds everyone on your team accountable for keeping track of their uniform items. Losing garments can cost your business time, and so it inspires everyone to keep all of their items organized and easy to find.
It also holds your uniform supplier accountable to provide your business with everything your team needs, as well as return cleaned garments to you in a timely manner.
