THE vELTUFF way
Challenges Overcome
Cost Exercise
A large-scale global uniform programme requires ongoing review to identify opportunities for cost efficiency without compromising product performance, quality or brand standards.
SKU Rationalisation
A complex product range can increase operational and inventory requirements. Reviewing range options creates opportunities to simplify the SKU count and improve programme efficiency.
Special Requirements
Bespoke Garments
VELTUFF has designed bespoke upper garments and accessories developed around FedEx programme and brand requirements.
Heat Seal & Embroidery
Both heat seal and embroidery are applied in house and used to provide appropriate and consistent branding across the garment range.
Material Optimisation
Fit-for-purpose fabric innovations were implemented to help optimise garment performance while identifying opportunities for programme efficiencies. Extensive testing and user trials were carried out ahead of final production
Garment Standardisation
SKU rationalisation and garment standardisation provide opportunities to simplify the range and leverage greater purchasing volumes.
BESPOKE
Purpose-Built Garments
Bespoke polos, t-shirts, jackets and outer garments provide FedEx with a uniform range developed around its operational and brand requirements.
Brandng
Consistent Supply & QC
By being responsible for the end-to-end manufacturing, logo application and distribution of workwear we can ensure consistency in both the supply and quality of all garments.
OPTIMISATION
A Simpler Product Range
SKU rationalisation, garment standardisation and material optimisation help reduce complexity and create opportunities for a more efficient and scalable uniform programme.
RESULTS
Outcomes achieved
SKU Rationalisation
Simplifying the product range has reduced operational complexity, reduced cost and supports a more efficient inventory management process leading to greater purchasing opportunities.
Cost Efficiencies
