Cost-Effective Uniform Solutions for a Leading Canadian Retail Chain
about the project
The Challenge
A prominent retail chain in Canada was sourcing uniforms locally, including printing, due to uncertainties around their annual requirements. They believed procuring from overseas would be impractical for small quantities and challenging to manage. However, rising costs and inventory holding expenses prompted them to explore alternative solutions without compromising quality or reliability.

Our Approach
D3 Apparel worked closely with the client to create a tailored solution addressing their unique needs. The key steps included:
Demand Analysis:
We conducted a detailed review of their uniform consumption over the last five years, identifying trends and establishing an accurate annual requirement.
Optimized Procurement Plan:
Based on the data, we proposed splitting their annual needs into two shipments per year, ensuring steady supply while minimizing overstocking.
Cost Efficiency:
By moving production to our factory in India, we reduced their garment costs by over 50%, including significant savings on inventory holding costs.
Fabric Readiness:
To ensure flexibility, we maintain a stock of their uniform fabric, enabling us to handle urgent requests and ship within 10 days whenever needed.
