Get WorkGear Can Reduce Admin Time By 89%
In the realm of operational efficiency, saving time and resources is akin to striking gold. Yet, the exhaustive demands of procuring and distributing workwear, from staff uniforms to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), often feel like a relentless drain on company resources. But imagine a solution so effective that it can reduce the administrative burden by a staggering 89%. Yes, you read that correctly. Welcome to the transformative world of the Get WorkGear Garment Management System.
Yes, We Did Just Say 89%
At face value, managing the procurement and distribution of workwear seems straightforward enough. However, scratch beneath the surface, and a different picture emerges—one of complexity and nuance, with each organisation facing its own unique set of challenges.
The Research that Surprised Even Us
In a bid to shine a light on these challenges, we embarked on an investigative journey with one of our partners. The findings? On average, Get WorkGear slashed administrative time from 14 hours and 35 minutes down to just 1 hour and 11 minutes weekly. This equates to an annual saving of 698.5 hours of manual labor per year. The question then becomes, what could your organisation achieve by reclaiming such a significant chunk of time?
Identifying the Challenges
The uniform procurement and distribution process is fraught with hurdles, each adding layers of complexity to an already intricate process.
The Fluctuation of Employee Numbers
With staff numbers ebbing and flowing, maintaining an updated roster for uniform distribution becomes a logistical puzzle. The liaison between HR and the uniform team turns into a critical touchpoint, ensuring new hires have their uniforms ready and tracking those leaving the organisation.
No. of Department Wardrobes & Items Involved
From aviation to catering, the diversity in workwear requirements across departments is immense. Factor in gender neutrality, and the complexity multiplies, transforming uniform procurement into a highly intricate affair.
Paperwork, Allowances & the Approval Process
Navigating the labyrinth of request forms, approvals, and allowances is a time-consuming process fraught with potential for error. This system, reliant on manual input, is not only cumbersome but also prone to inaccuracies that can escalate costs and lead to inefficiencies.
Supplier(s) Involved
Supplier management introduces another layer of complexity, particularly when multiple suppliers are involved. Ensuring stock availability, managing contracts, and maintaining communication channels open requires a significant amount of coordination and oversight.
Human Error
Given the multitude of manual processes involved, the margin for error is considerable. Every mistake made during the procurement and distribution cycle can lead to delays, increased costs, and frustration.
Sizing issues & returns
The variability in sizing standards across different regions and suppliers exacerbates the challenge of ensuring the correct fit for employees. This often results in a high volume of returns, further complicating the distribution process.
How Get WorkGear Makes It Simple
Get WorkGear addresses these challenges head-on, streamlining the entire workwear management process through automation and integration.
Simplifying Employee Management
By linking to internal systems, Get WorkGear automates access for staff, keeping the uniform distribution list updated in real-time. This automation extends to new hires, offering them the convenience of ordering their uniforms even before their first day.
Streamlining Departmental Wardrobes
Get WorkGear eliminates confusion by ensuring employees only access the uniform items relevant to their roles, further refined by gender specifications. Integration with ERP systems facilitates real-time information sharing, ensuring accuracy and efficiency in order management.
Eliminating Paperwork & Simplifying Allowances
