In the world of large-scale uniform, workwear, and PPE supply, one size doesn't fit all. The more industries you are involved in, the more diverse your client base and the more services you offer means that it can be hard to accommodate everyone, without changing your business. Clients in the uniform market are ever increasingly relying on modern technology to streamline their process as well as using software to enhance their service offering.
Introducing Supplier Premium, our most advanced and customisable Uniform Management System. This cutting-edge uniform management platform is designed specifically for market-leading suppliers regularly targeting accounts with 1000+ wearers, offering unparalleled functionality, customisation and flexibility to help you win both public and private sector tenders and stand out in your sales process.
It goes beyond the scope of our Supplier Lite and Supplier Plus platforms, offering a comprehensive solution for suppliers with the most complex client needs.
Tailored for Excellence
Supplier Premium is not another off-the-shelf solution. It's a comprehensive platform built with the expectation of full customisation to meet the unique needs of each client. This level of tailoring ensures that enterprise-level uniform suppliers can offer a truly bespoke service to their largest and most demanding customers.
1. Advanced Allowance Management
At the heart of Supplier Premium is a sophisticated allowance management system. This feature allows you to:
• Set and manage pre-determined allowances for each product, location, manager or client
• Allocate allowances based on quantity, value, points, locations, with possibilities of variation within accounts
• Implement periodic allowance resets (e.g., annually) at client, location and/or product level
• Automate different approval processes for orders within and out-with allowance limits
This level of control not only streamlines the ordering process but also significantly reduces administrative time and human error. The level of flexibility built in means even the most complex clients are easily accommodated.

Supplier Premium goes beyond simple allowance tracking. It provides powerful tools for managing budgets and targets, including:
• Real-time budget tracking across multiple organizational levels
• Customisable limit setting for different departments or cost centres
