Employee uniform ordering

Employee Uniform Ordering System

Employees sign in to your supplier-branded online store and order the uniforms available to them through their business customer's account. B2B Orderly applies customer-specific product access, allowances and approval rules without relying on spreadsheets, emails or manual order entry.

What is an employee uniform ordering system?

B2B Orderly is an employee uniform ordering system that allows staff to order from the uniform products approved for them. Suppliers and business customers can control available products and variants, employee allowances and approval rules before an order reaches the supplier.

The operational challenge

Employee uniform ordering gets complicated when every request is handled manually

When employees send sizes, replacement requests and uniform orders through emails, spreadsheets or managers, someone still has to check what each person is allowed to receive. Different roles, approved products, allowances and approval requirements make that process harder as employee numbers grow.

01

Employees do not know which products they can order

02

Managers repeatedly check uniform eligibility

03

Sizes and variants are collected manually

04

Allowances and approvals are checked through separate messages

05

Supplier staff re-enter employee orders

06

Replacement and repeat orders create more administration

How B2B Orderly solves it

Show employees only the uniforms they are allowed to order

Employees do not need to browse the supplier's entire catalogue. Their ordering experience can be limited to the products and variants available under the customer's uniform programme and the employee's assigned role.

01

Approved products and variants

Show employees only the garments, sizes, colours and product variants available within their customer's approved range.

02

Access by employee role

Assign employees to roles or groups so warehouse staff, drivers, supervisors and office teams can see the uniform range that applies to them.

03

Allowances and entitlements

Make an employee's available allowance or allocation visible while they order, with customer-defined rules applied to the request.

04

Approval and order visibility

Route orders for review where required, then give authorised customer users visibility of order status and history.

Match uniform access to employee roles

Different roles can have different uniform requirements. The customer or supplier defines the setup, then employees see the products and ordering rules assigned to their role or group.

Example: A warehouse employee might see polos, trousers and an approved jacket, while a supervisor can have access to additional garments.

Keep employee ordering within their uniform allowance

Uniform allowances can define how much an employee is entitled to order. Employees order within the rules assigned to them while customer administrators retain visibility over the programme.

Let employees place their own uniform orders

Employees can sign in, review the uniform products available to them, choose the correct sizes and colours, and submit their own order without manual order entry.

Give managers control without entering every order

Customer administrators can manage employees and oversee ordering rules while employees handle routine ordering themselves. An authorised manager can also order on behalf of an employee when self-service access is not suitable.

Apply approvals when an order needs review

Self-service does not mean no control. Approval rules can be used where an order requires additional review before it continues through the ordering workflow.

Support repeat orders and role changes

Employees returning for replacement or additional approved items can use the same structured ordering experience. When someone joins or changes role, an authorised user can align their access with the current uniform setup.
