When managing your uniform and supply program, you shouldn’t have to settle for missed deliveries, poor communication, or hidden fees. Contractors and tradespeople work hard, and your uniform provider should work just as hard to support you.
At UniFirst, we’re committed to raising the bar on uniform services with personalized local service, advanced tools like our handheld scanner, and a range of solutions that puts your needs first.
Common challenges with uniform rental companies
Uniform and facility service providers should give you peace of mind by simplifying your operations and helping you maintain a safe, efficient workplace.
Unfortunately, many in the industry struggle with issues like:
- Unreliable service with late deliveries, uniform shortages, or worn-out apparel that doesn’t meet the professional or safety standards your team and industry need.
- Poor communication, leaving businesses with last-minute surprises or no updates on service requests that impact job site readiness.
- Billing frustrations, including hidden fees or unclear pricing, which can disrupt construction project budgets.
For the contracting and trades industry, these challenges can lead to major disruptions. Whether it’s impacting worker performance, job site safety, or customer perceptions, a uniform program that doesn’t deliver is not just a nuisance—it’s a liability.
At UniFirst, we understand your specific needs and know you deserve better. Consistent service, straightforward communication, and complete transparency are at the foundation of everything we offer.
We’re here to raise the bar for contracting and trades businesses.
