Workwear that survives the site.
Hi-vis, drill, work shirts and wet weather gear. Most of it is made by other people; what we do is buy it, hold it and get it onto the crew, so the garment stops being the thing that goes wrong.
Three things we do for a crew.
Most sites start with the first and pick up the others once the program settles.
Managed workwear programs
An agreed range by role, pricing set for the term, and reordering handled by an account manager who already knows which site runs what. The point of a program is that kitting somebody out stops being a decision anyone has to make.
Off the shelf, not off our line
Syzmik and the ranges alongside it, distributed by us for over a decade. What that buys you is a shelf in Australia with your sizes already on it and a badging run before it ships, so a replacement pair of trousers is a phone call rather than a lead time.
One supplier, office to site
Front office in corporate wear and the crew in drill, on one account, one invoice and one manager. It is the strongest reason to consolidate suppliers and the thing most organisations get around to last.
What actually goes wrong on site.
Nobody changes uniform supplier because they want a new shirt. These are the six reasons they call, and what we do about each one.
- The line is discontinued mid-program
- We hold your range here rather than ordering it in on each request, and when a maker retires a line we bring you the substitution that matches on weight, cut and colour. Construction and civil crews feel this first, because they are the ones with a yard already wearing the old jacket.
- A starter arrives Monday
- Onboarding kits made up in the sizes your crew actually runs, pulled from stock and out the door. Nobody waits on a production run to be inducted, which matters most in logistics and warehousing, where the crew turns over fastest.
- Sizes that do not run true on a working body
- We bring the size run to site and fit people in it on the floor, in front of their supervisor, in the layers they wear underneath. Guessing from a spec sheet is how a manufacturing or processing crew ends up with a rack of untouched mediums.
- A logo that no longer matches the jackets from three years ago
- The same decorators do your work every time, so this year's embroidery sits where the last one did, in the same thread and at the same size. Trades and services teams are inside customer premises all day and it shows on them more than on anyone.
- Knees and cuffs going before the shirt does
- Where a range offers the choice we specify to the wear point — heavier drill through the leg, a cuff and knee that take abrasion — and we will say plainly when the cheaper garment is the one you will be buying again. Sun and dust do the same job to an agribusiness collar.
- Every site reordering its own way
- One account across all of them and one manager who knows what each site runs, so a mining services contractor is not reconciling separate orders for crews doing identical work.
What keeps failing?
Start with the garment you are sick of replacing — that one tells us more than a headcount does. The trades on the crew and the rough numbers can follow.
