Benefits of a Uniform Ordering Web Solution

Managing an employee uniform program can be time-consuming and difficult. Getting sizes, figuring out budgets, ensuring employees get the right pieces—all of these tasks add up and can quickly monopolize a manager’s valuable time, especially in companies with a multitude of employees.

But there is a simpler way.

Model Apparel makes this process easier with a uniform ordering website. This is a private and customized online store that lets your employees order from your chosen uniforms.

No more paper order forms. No more random shirt styles that don't match.

If you're thinking of simplifying your uniform ordering process, keep reading. This article will walk you through the 3 steps to establish your store. Then, we'll quickly highlight the benefits of ordering your uniforms online.

3 steps to setting up your private store

Step One: Gather decision-makers and decide on the apparel that will appear in the online store. Your company’s store will only feature the specific clothing you choose and can include as much or as little as you like. Offerings can consist of shirts, pants, outerwear, coveralls, and accessories (such as belts, hats, and socks).

You’ll choose what is appropriate for your company’s needs. You’ll also be able to specify the company's logo and colors. If you’ve already made these decisions, then skip ahead to step two.

Step Two: Set up your account and determine ordering specifics and an administrator. Working closely with your Model Apparel representative, you’ll decide and set employee spending limits, shipping terms, and billing terms. You’ll also identify an employee who will serve as the high-level administrator for your private uniform store.

During this phase, you’ll also compile a list of employees (including names and email addresses) who will be ordering uniforms. After you decide on these things, Model Apparel will set up your company's store, train the administrator on some basic setup, and launch the site.

Step Three: Let the ordering begin! Your employees can order uniforms on your company's custom uniform website. The offering will only consist of the styles that were approved by your leadership team, keeping your brand's look consistent.

As you can see, the hardest part is choosing your company uniform and how you want to run your online store. Every part can be changed.

However, once these decisions are made, your online uniform store will be easy to use and will save time by streamlining the uniform ordering process. If this sounds overwhelming, don’t worry. Your Model Apparel representative will help you through the process. They will give you advice, help, and help to make your company's uniform store work the way you want it to.
