KING UNIFORM

Visibility: KING provides visibility into each cost component for each manufacturer.

Multiple Sources

Visibility: Using multiple uniform suppliers creates redundancy, adds complexity, and increases inventory requirements.

Using multiple uniform suppliers creates redundancy by increasing inventory needs, adding cost to the supply chain, and creating excessive obsolescence. Multiple suppliers frequently struggle with forecasting and inventory management as demand is inconsistently spliced between users or wear groups. Your employees do not get a unified customer service experience, often creating confusion or errors. Individual franchisees experiencing credit issues may bounce from supplier to supplier, driving cost across the supply chain. Total delivered costs may vary between suppliers, but companies often hide true manufacturing costs or supply chain mark-ups. Multiple shipping origins add higher freight costs and inconsitent lead times to this operating model.


KING UNIFORM’s model continues to allow multiple manufacturer participation, while avoiding the typically high costs of redundant supply chains.	KING UNIFORM consolidates demand patterns and distribution points, dramatically reducing inventory working capital needs while improving in-stock service levels.	Award-winning customer service provides ONE point of contact for your employees, and centralizes the control and management of receivables.	With consolidated distribution, KING UNIFORM fulfills all orders to all users in all locations with one delivery, supported by a 99.8% accuracy rate. All orders entered by 5pm ship out the same day.	KING UNIFORM consolidates shipping volumes across manufacturers to a common freight account with other customers. While other suppliers mark up freight for higher margins, KING UNIFORM leverages maximum freight discounts for YOUR benefit.	KING UNIFORM enforces standardized shipping and packaging logistics across manufacturers. Orders arrive clearly labeled, allowing you to quickly identify contents without having to remove individual garments from bags.

You can now see, and negotiate, the true best manufacturing price (or KING UNIFORM can negotiate on your behalf and present the best possible price from pre-qualified global manufacturing sites). A holistic view of program cost- and performance-drivers is now visible, providing you with the data and pricing information needed to optimize your employee uniform supply chain.

Consolidating all inventory from multiple locations into one distribution point and demand stream means higher service levels are achieved with lower working capital costs:

2 to 1 = 29% reduction in inventory

3 to 1 = 42% reduction in inventory

Your employees have one point of contact and one web portal for all customer service needs, and freight savings are now consolidated for maximum cost reduction.
