Why Businesses Are Switching to Centralised Uniform Systems

Why Businesses Are Switching to Centralised Uniform Systems

Uniforms are often the silent partner in a well-run business. They support brand identity, team confidence, and customer perception but behind the scenes, managing them can be a real operational challenge.

For industries like healthcare, hospitality, and corporate services, uniforms are essential. But without the right systems and support, sourcing, tracking, and replenishing them can drain time and resources across multiple departments.

That’s where centralised uniform management comes in. And at Arrow, we go further combining full-service support with smart tools like myArrow to give you complete visibility, control, and confidence.

Why Centralised Uniform Management Makes Business Sense

1. Simplified, Controlled Ordering

Staff and managers only see products relevant to their role, brand, and location. This eliminates guesswork, reduces ordering errors, and ensures consistency across your team.

2. Faster Onboarding and Offboarding

With individual staff profiles, saved sizing, and clear approval workflows, uniforms are issued (and returned) quickly no more delays during staff transitions.

3. Real-Time Inventory Visibility

Track what’s in stock, what’s been issued, and what needs replenishing. Our team also provides manual forecasting support based on historical usage to help reduce waste and avoid shortages.

4. Integrated Procurement Systems

myArrow integrates with procurement platforms like NetSuite, Oracle, Coupa, and Unimarket. Buyers can access punchout catalogues directly within their existing systems no extra logins required.

5. End-to-End Rollout Support

Arrow provides hands-on assistance for new uniform rollouts, from range curation and sizing sessions to delivery and aftercare. Our team ensures your launch runs smoothly, with minimal disruption.

6. Brand Control and Compliance

Maintain a consistent, compliant look across teams and locations. Arrow supports this with locked product ranges, built-in branding, and centralised access and reporting.

7. Reduced Internal Admin

Approvals, tracking, returns, and reporting are all managed in one place cutting down on back-and-forth emails and freeing up your internal teams.

8. Insightful Reporting and Budget Control

Real-time spend and usage data helps you stay on top of budgets, understand purchasing patterns, and make better resourcing decisions whether you're overseeing one site or many.
