Supply and stock control of PPE

Timely and high-quality provision of employees with personal protective equipment solves many problems: planning PPE needs according to issuance norms, tracking issuance and maintaining personal cards, timely deliveries of PPE.

A new level of management

Previously all business processes stayed inside the company, and that was considered effective. Modern trends show that companies and managers find it easier to focus on their core tasks when non-core activities are handled by professionals.

Statistics and automation

Do you know how much procurement norms differ from actual PPE consumption? How can supply be optimized taking many factors into account? How can warehouse stocks be reduced to zero while maintaining a high level of employee provision?

Maintaining the company image

How well does employees' appearance match your company's image? Is clothing laundered or repaired on time? Do all employees have uniforms in the correct height and size? Does the company have a corporate album?

Supplier selection

Have you experienced late deliveries or received poor-quality goods? How much time and energy did you spend preventing such situations and eliminating the consequences?

Employee safety

The absence of even one element of personal protection increases the risk of injury at the workplace or can lead to downtime because a worker cannot start their tasks.

Labor productivity

If an employee cannot obtain even a minimal required set of workwear from the warehouse due to lack of stock or absence of the right size, will this affect their attitude to work and their performance?

Employee motivation

In conditions of a shortage of qualified personnel and roughly equal wages at regional factories, employees respond sensitively to non-material factors: working conditions, workplace atmosphere, management attention, and the provision of quality clothing, footwear and other PPE.

Expense control

Warehouse leftovers always negatively affect the company's financial indicators. If you add frozen stocks to that, costs increase. Insufficient or incorrect provision can lead to significant expenses during labor inspections. In case of injuries or illnesses, expenses on other cost items increase.

What we do

We issue and repair workwear

We select workwear within one or two sizes. Fitting is available in specially equipped fitting rooms. In case of cuts or tears — we repair workwear at the issue point.

We label workwear

We apply a permanent label to the workwear, which makes it convenient to track issuance and the number of washes.

We apply anonymized marking

We apply anonymized marking immediately after sewing. A set can be linked to an employee's card at the point of issue, which speeds up the distribution process.

We launder and store workwear

We accept workwear through collection lockers and individual issue lockers. Based on results, we generate reports on quantities and service intervals.

We identify employees

At the operator's station we place a magnetic card reader. It can easily identify the employee, speeding up processing and locating data for a specific worker.

We automate issuance

Using an ID badge, protective glasses, half-masks, skin protection creams, protective gloves and ear protection inserts are issued via vending machines.

We notify about PPE arrivals

When PPE arrives at the warehouse from laundering or new PPE for scheduled issuance, the employee will receive a notification by SMS or email.

We grant access to a personal account

An employee can log in to their personal account to view the issuance schedule, PPE issuance norms, and also complete briefings.

We analyze provisioning

Based on issuance results we generate reports on the company's provisioning indicators, by departments and employees. Reports are sent to managers automatically.

We send SMS about medical examinations

We set up integration with medical devices of the "Kvazar" brand. Responsible persons receive SMS notifications if an employee fails a medical examination.

We issue bulky PPE

Using parcel lockers and employee passes, we facilitate issuance of large-sized PPE.

Mobile application

In the app an employee can view the workwear issuance schedule, see which items are in the laundry, and submit a request to the warehouse.

What are the benefits?

Demand and cost planning

All you need to do is choose a supplier once, and Vostok-Service will take care of supplying personnel with PPE. We will calculate, measure and forecast demand ourselves. You will only need to monitor the processes via regular online reports.

Freedom from surplus stock

There will be no more leftovers or non-liquid stock in the warehouse — Vostok-Service will supply only the required workwear. You pay only for the PPE we deliver. Payment is made upon receipt.

Timely notifications

An employee receives an SMS notification inviting them to a fitting or to collect their clothing from the laundry. Department managers know exactly how much, what and to whom has been issued. Any report can be generated at any time.

100% fulfillment of employees' PPE requirements

Each employee has the required clothing and protective equipment in accordance with standard industry norms and company requirements; employees feel cared for along with their families.

Flexible response to changing demand

Changes in norms and staffing levels are now automatically reflected in reports and considered when planning deliveries. All processes are automated and digitized. PPE compliance with TR TS 019/2011 and the client's corporate requirements.

Transparency of pricing and provisioning processes

An open negotiation process allows you to see the pricing factors and understand how and why the price may be adjusted over time.

Cost optimization for procedures and personnel

Paying an invoice for current expenses is much simpler and more efficient than maintaining a warehouse, staff and bearing other organizational overheads.

Availability of PPE options

We select PPE according to working conditions, introduce new types, and respond promptly to quality issues. We maintain cards, launder clothing and supply related goods.
