Textile services management company HID has released InvoTech Cloud, an end-to-end cloud-based solution to help hospitality facilities more easily track and trace employee uniforms from purchasing through daily use to final discard.
Designed to streamline uniform inventory management, InvoTech Cloud provides real-time visibility into inventory levels, usage patterns and replacement needs. This could translate to preventing overcharges and optimizing costs. By tracking uniforms throughout laundry activities and enabling clear assignment tracking, InvoTech Cloud can also foster employee accountability.
The software automates reporting capabilities, providing insights into uniform usage trends and automated workflows, helping laundry and housekeeping managers identify areas for further optimization.
“The InvoTech Cloud system is a great resource for Cintas and our uniform rooms,” Melissa Harsh, regional manager of onsite solutions design collective for Cintas, a large provider of uniforms for a wide range of industries, said in a statement. “It offers a portable solution for tracking garments between the room, employees and laundry. With its web-based capabilities, our leaders can access information while off site, increasing the value of the program. Its scanning device is easy to use and the Invotech IT department offers great support. We are excited to integrate this technology into our uniform rooms.”
The platform’s benefits may include:
- Elimination of uniform losses: Help eliminate unaccounted losses associated with employee and daily laundry activities.
- Reduction of purchases: Help reduce annual purchases by informing on what items to replace to maintain quality standards.
- Improvement in labor productivity: Help increase labor productivity by eliminating certain manual tasks and automating record-keeping.
- Lowering of laundry expenses: Help reduce laundry expenses by controlling cleaning activity and preventing overcharges from outside laundries.
