Improving textile management in companies

Whether you’re called a procurement manager, supply chain lead or operations specialist – if you manage textiles, you know how important it is to get workwear right. The right textile solution helps keep people safe, operations smooth and compliance stress-free.

Why managing textiles in-house is harder than it looks

Textile management might seem straightforward – but in practice, it’s complex, time-consuming and high-stakes.

Here are some of the main challenges businesses face:

Keeping up with safety and hygiene standards

In industries like healthcare, food processing and pharmaceuticals, regulations are strict and constantly evolving. Staying compliant takes expertise, from proper washing methods and damage checks to detailed record-keeping. One mistake can risk both safety and reputation.

Adapting to changing textile needs

Workwear demand often fluctuates. A busy season at a hotel or a patient surge at a hospital can throw off stock levels. Without the right forecasting and planning tools, it’s easy to overstock or run short; both of which cost time and money.

Finding reliable, long-term suppliers

Not all suppliers focus on durability. Many aim to sell more garments, not help you get the most from what you already have. Sourcing quality workwear that lasts, and that fits your specific needs, takes time and effort.

Internal management takes up valuable time

Handling all this in-house often means hiring a dedicated person or adding tasks to someone’s already full plate. It’s a role that requires technical knowledge and comes with real responsibility, especially when cleanliness and safety are on the line.
