Introducing Supplier Plus: The UMS for Entreprenurial Suppliers
Category: Supplier Uniform Management
Published: 22/08/2024
As businesses expand, so does the complexity of managing their staff uniforms. At the beginning, it’s easy - start with a small team, easily kit them out through simple bulk orders. But as the workforce grows, diversifies, and spreads across multiple locations, the once-straightforward task of uniform ordering becomes a headache. By the time a business has 250+ employees, it’s an impossible task to manage via email or spreadsheets.
Growing businesses need a uniform supplier they can rely on to deliver the volume of items and customer service they need. Those uniform suppliers rely on technology to accommodate their client base’s ever-growing needs and the idiosyncrasies involved in uniform ordering.
This is where Supplier Plus comes in. This robust platform is the next step up in our suite of Supplier Uniform Management solutions, designed to cater to suppliers serving small and medium-sized businesses.
