Could Your Business Benefit From Smart Red?

Smart Red is in place across many organisations including those in travel and transport, retail, energy and construction businesses. If you recognise any of the below challenges, Smart Red could help you:

1. It’s frustrating managing large volumes of orders by email.

2. Employees not supplying all required information leads to admin time wasted in chasing information, and ultimately a delay in ordering uniform.

3. Over-ordering or ordering errors by employees leads to expensive returns of garments.

4. Frustrations in chasing suppliers for shipping updates, returns, and replacement items irritate employees. 

5. Working within budgetary constraints means that procuring uniforms that are durable, comfortable, and within your organisation’s standards is challenging.

6. Coordinating the distribution of uniforms to multiple locations and ensuring that they are delivered in a timely and cost-effective manner can be difficult.

How Does Smart Red Help Overcome These Challenges?

Implements & Controls Allowances 

Smart Red gives you complete authority by allowing you to establish allowances for your staff based on their department, location or role. Orders that fall within the assigned allowance can be placed directly with your supplier(s), eliminating the need for management approval. With this self-service platform, staff can input their information, reducing errors. In addition, there is a built-in authorisation process that allows you to approve, modify or reject orders that exceed the specified limit. It’s simple, quick and digital. 

Reduces Lead Times

An automated uniform management system can help to streamline the order and delivery process, by allowing your employees direct access to your supplier. This reduces the lead time in delivery because suppliers receive orders instantly. It also has the added benefit of improving the communication between your supplier(s) and your employees if there are any stock issues or delays. 

Reduces Returns

Employees have the ability to order their own garments themselves, digitally. Errors in sizing are reduced by up to 50% and each employee has the opportunity to confirm delivery information is accurate before submission. Ultimately this saves significant resource and money.

Proactively Manages Budgets

By centralising the procurement process, a uniform management system helps organisations better control costs without constant interruptions to ‘approvers’ main roles. It also helps organisations with their budgeting decisions with accurate and real-time data put into future forecasting. 

Smart Red can be completely customised to your processes, and there is no need to install any hardware. It is available online 24/7 on any device. Overall, Smart Red can provide a digital, centralised, automated solution for managing the procurement and delivery of staff uniforms, helping organisations to overcome many of the challenges associated with this process.
