A revolution in PPE,
Workwear and Uniform
Online Ordering and
Management
SMART BLUE IS A UNIQUE WEB-BASED PPE, WORKWEAR & UNIFORM ORDERING PROCESSING PLATFORM AIMED AT EMPLOYERS OF LARGE WORKFORCES
SMART BLUE streamlines PPE, workwear & uniform ordering processes by:
Saving staff time when ordering
- Set allowances per employee / department
- Automatic approval processes for repeat orders within the allowance
- Collection/returns of faulty goods/wrong fits streamlined
Reducing administration time which frees staff up for core tasks
Significantly and measurably reducing delays and errors in delivery
Storing past orders and providing key information on fit, brand and size to ensure correct orders; first time, every time.
Ultimately increasing staff satisfaction by simplifying complex ordering processes
Reducing the overall cost of buying PPE, workwear & uniforms
Proven Return on Investment
Case Study from within the medical sector: their previous system of ordering PPE, workwear & uniforms versus a smart uniform management system:
Previously, uniform orders were submitted on paper, requiring a supervisor to sign off on every order.
There was no way to track the order after submission or understand stock levels or delivery times.
Staff in critical functions were losing valuable patient-facing time in administrative tasks.
