- Lay out the changing area by size so customers and staff find suits quickly.
- Use clear size labels and keep them consistent across reorders.
- Separate clean, in use and to wash, and rotate first in, first out.
- Count stock by size regularly and compare against your own targets.
Lay out by size
Group suits on racks by size, smallest to largest, with clear signs. Staff can then hand out the right size in seconds and groups dress faster.
Label clearly
A visible size label on each suit avoids guesswork. Keep the labelling the same when you reorder so new stock slots straight in.
Separate clean and used
Have a clear flow: clean on the racks, worn into a collection bin, washed, dried, then back to the racks. Mixing clean and used is the fastest way to lose customer trust.
Rotate
Put freshly washed suits at the back so stock is used evenly. Uneven use wears out a few suits early.
Count regularly
Count suits in service by size on a regular schedule and compare with the level you want for each size. Our customer portal's Fleet Manager stores in-service and target counts per size and per location, highlights sizes below target and turns the shortfall into a reorder request.
Plan replacements
Use your counts and retirement records to plan top-ups before a busy season rather than after you run short. The Fleet Builder helps size the first fleet.
FAQs
How often should we count stock?
Choose a rhythm that matches your volume: busy tracks often count monthly. The portal can remind you on the interval you choose.
