Uniforms by Unitec

Morning temperatures and afternoon temperatures rarely agree this time of year, and neither does a single uniform layer. A quarter zip, a soft shell jacket, and a base layer piece all work together so your team can adjust through a shift without swapping out their whole uniform or losing a consistent, professional look. That flexibility matters most for crews moving between indoor and outdoor tasks, or anyone working an early start in cooler air.

Congratulations to our President and CEO, Elise Elfman, who has been named to The Daily Record's MD500 list in the Manufacturing category.

Asked about the biggest challenge facing the uniform industry today, Elise put it plainly: "Large organizations are no longer just purchasing uniforms; they're trying to control cost, ensure compliance, manage distributed workforces and maintain brand consistency across hundreds or thousands of employees... The industry is at a turning point where technology, integration and data-driven management are no longer optional; they are essential."

It's the same thinking behind The Proximity System™, the software Unitec built to give clients exactly that: role based ordering, real time visibility, and one platform managing every uniform program.

The usual answer to uniform program waste is cutting the catalog down to fewer choices, which reduces fabric use but frustrates employees who cannot get a uniform fit that actually works for them. Our latest guide looks at whether data-driven ordering and forecasting can reduce uniform waste and inventory costs without that tradeoff, and where the honest limits of that approach are.

Women’s Equality Day marks the anniversary of the 19th Amendment and the ongoing work toward full equality in business and beyond. Unitec is a certified women-owned uniform supplier through the SBA, WBENC, and MDOT, standing alongside the government agencies and corporations that build supplier diversity into how they purchase uniform programs. Certification is not a marketing label here, it is a standard we are held to and glad to meet.

Running a uniform program across multiple locations and departments usually means checking each site separately just to know what is actually happening with orders, budget, and compliance. The Proximity System™ enterprise uniform management platform was built for exactly this scale, supporting different entitlement rules by location while keeping administration centralized and ordering decentralized. Enterprise-wide reporting shows who has ordered, who has not, budget remaining, and compliance status across every location from one dashboard.

The organizations fully outfitted before the first cold snap are the ones placing their fall and winter uniform orders this month, not waiting for the weather to force the decision. Ordering fall workwear now means full access to sizing across flame-resistant, high-visibility, and insulated jacket options, before fall demand narrows what your uniform manufacturers actually have in stock. It also means your Q4 uniform budget can plan for the cost instead of absorbing it as a surprise expense.

Organizations running a uniform program across more than one location often end up with more than one version of the same standard, a different supplier here, a manager approving a substitute uniform item there, until the brand looks slightly different at every site. Our new guide explains why uniform standards drift across multiple locations even when a company already has a clear policy, and what an enterprise uniform program actually needs to keep every site consistent.

Keeping uniform standards consistent across multiple locations is a common operations challenge. Here is why it breaks down and what actually fixes it.

Not every yellow or orange shirt meets the bar for true high-visibility apparel. The ANSI/ISEA 107 standard is what actually defines a compliant high-visibility uniform, covering the amount and placement of retroreflective tape, the class rating required for the work environment, and the fluorescent yellow-green or orange-red background color. A high-visibility uniform can look bright in daylight and still fail to reflect properly under headlights at night, which is exactly the gap that matters most during National Traffic Awareness Month.

Union contracts and collective bargaining agreements add a layer of complexity most uniform ordering software was never built to handle. The Proximity System™ tracks union and CBA rules as they relate to uniform requirements directly inside its uniform management software, applying contract-specific entitlement rules, mandatory PPE and certification requirements, and automatic purchase restrictions so a non-compliant order simply cannot go through.

Every transaction is logged in a full audit trail, which matters the moment a union contract or compliance review asks for proof.

A uniform program rarely breaks down all at once. It fades a little at a time, a faded logo here, a uniform size that quietly stopped getting ordered there, until the overall look of your employee uniform program no longer matches the brand it represents. Our new guide covers five signs it is time to refresh your uniform program before fall hiring and colder weather add more pressure to a program that has not been reviewed in a while.

Read the five signs your uniform program needs a refresh:
