Does Your Uniform Ordering Portal Offer Manpack Solutions?

Manpacks are refered to as many things – a ‘staff pack’, ‘starter pack’, ‘wearer packs’, ‘a kit’ ‘team packs’...the list goes on. These names all refer to the same thing: a set amount of clothing that allows uniform wearers to order multiple items in one order. The kit will usually consist of a full wardrobe for the employee and the garments can be embroidered or printed with their employer’s logo. This is then packed together in individually named boxes, making delivery and distribution easier for the wearer and their employer.

Manpacking makes the whole administration of uniform ordering so much easier! One pack, one collection, one invoice. What’s not to love? 

Not every uniform ordering portal gives you the option of offering manpacking to your clients, and this can severely impact user experience and satisfaction. Don’t fall at the final hurdle – look at the multiple options Smart Red offers to workwear suppliers and your clients to offer a full-rounded service.

Simple Ordering

Employees need an easy way to add a full kit of garments to checkout. And Smart Red allows everyone to do that seamlessly! Simply choose a size, add to cart, select a delivery address and click send. Everything else is done for them.

Set Delivery Rules

Some businesses want to reduce overall delivery cost and frequency, and therefore will let employees only order uniform packs to their place of work. Other priorities can take precedence however. New starters often require a full suite of uniform and PPE before setting foot on their employer’s site for the first time. And other employees may not have a set place of work as they may be bank or relief staff.

With Smart Red’s innovative platform, you can set specific delivery options to offer flexibility. Complex rules and logic are easily accommodated so you can service your clients with the click of one button. 

Flexibility 

Some employers are very fixed on the items within their starter kits – set items, colours and variations. Others will allow employees more choice within a set menu (e.g. short and long sleeved options, different colours etc). With Smart Red, you can effortlessly offer this flexibility within your pack when it’s required.

Kits Linked to Roles & Locations

Do you need your manpack to be tailored depending upon the role and/or location of the user? Then use Smart Red’s powerful functionality to handle this for you. Ensure that employees can only see the packs that are relevant to them and their site. 

Engineers will have a different set of uniform and PPE to office workers. People that work outside will require more heavy-duty waterproofs than those inside. Smart Red knows the role/location of each user, and with the tick of one box you can activate this functionality, per client, so each user can quickly order what they need.

Full Traceability 

One of the biggest bugbear for employees when they order uniform is not knowing the status of their order, and when they can expect it. Smart Red fixes that instantly! By connecting with your processes, employees can login and see the status of their order at any time.

And if you allow part-dispatching, they can get their items whenever they’re available, still in the same individually packed boxes.
