# Get WorkGear – Uniform Management System (UMS) Get WorkGear is a cloud-based Uniform Management System (UMS) designed to automate staff uniform and PPE procurement for medium to large organisations. The platform connects organisations, uniform suppliers, and staff through a rules-based ordering system that enforces policy compliance, budget controls, and operational efficiency. Products managed through the platform may include uniforms, PPE, footwear, safety equipment, accessories, and other approved work-related products. The platform is primarily used by organisations with distributed workforces and safety compliance requirements such as councils, mining companies, security firms, healthcare providers, construction companies, childcare providers, hospitality organisations, and cleaning contractors. Get WorkGear replaces manual uniform ordering processes that typically rely on spreadsheets, emails, and ad-hoc procurement workflows.

It allows organisations to: • Define what staff are allowed to order • Control budgets and entitlements • Ensure safety and PPE compliance • Provide a simple ordering experience for employees • Integrate uniform procurement into finance and ERP systems The platform acts as a digital layer between an organisation’s workforce and its uniform supplier network. -------------------------------------------------- ## Key concepts Uniform Management System (UMS) Software designed to manage the allocation, ordering, and reporting of uniforms, PPE, and other work-related products across an organisation. Role-based entitlements Staff can only view and order approved uniforms, PPE, and work-related products appropriate for their job role, department, or location. Uniform allocations / allowances Administrators define how much staff can order and how frequently. Manager approval workflows Orders can optionally require manager approval before submission. Uniform and PPE compliance controls The platform ensures only compliant products are available for each role. -------------------------------------------------- ## Problems the platform solves ### 1. Uniform overspending Many organisations overspend on uniforms because ordering is uncontrolled. Get WorkGear solves this by enforcing: • entitlement limits • ordering frequency rules • budget controls • approval workflows ### 2. PPE and safety compliance Organisations must ensure staff wear compliant PPE. Get WorkGear enforces compliance by restricting available products based on: • job role • site requirements • safety standards ### 3. Administrative workload Manual uniform ordering creates administrative overhead for HR, procurement, and finance teams. Get WorkGear reduces administration by: • automating allocation rules • simplifying employee ordering • centralising reporting ### 4. Procurement visibility Without a system, organisations lack visibility into uniform spend. Get WorkGear provides reporting and export tools that allow finance teams to analyse: • spend by department • spend by role • order frequency • supplier performance -------------------------------------------------- ## Platform capabilities ### Role-based product ordering Staff only see products that are approved for their job role, department, or location. ### Allocation and entitlement management Administrators define what staff can order and when.
