Simplifying Uniform Program Management: Setting Up Your Customized Ordering Site (CROS)

Managing a large, multi-location uniform program is complex, but it doesn’t have to be. At Hanover Uniform, we simplify the process with our Customized Ordering Software (CROS)—a tailored solution designed to meet the needs of multi-location companies. Here’s what we need from you to configure your custom site and ensure it operates seamlessly.


Key Information We’ll Need to Build Your CROS

  1. Employee Roster with Job Codes and Locations/Departments
    To ensure the right uniform for the right role, we’ll need:

    • Job Codes: These help us assign uniform items to specific roles.
    • Locations or Departments: Allows us to address unique needs by site or division.
  2. Ordering Process: Individual Employees or Managers?
    Decide how orders will be placed:

    • Individual Employees: Best if all employees have company email addresses.
    • Managers for Departments: Ideal for employees without email addresses. This ensures no one is left out and centralizes the process.
  3. Allowance Details
    Provide details about uniform budgets or item allocations, such as:

    • Fixed Allowance or Quantity: For example, $300 per employee annually or two shirts, two pants, one jacket, one hat, etc.
    • Tenure-Based Allowance: Would you like allowances to increase automatically based on tenure? For instance:
      • Add a set dollar amount quarterly, annually, or at other intervals.
      • Allocate additional items after a certain time period.
  4. Handling Costs Beyond Allowance or Limits
    If an employee exceeds their allowance or allocation, how should those extra costs be managed? Options include:

    • Credit Card Payment
    • Payroll Deduction
  5. Order Approvals
    Do you require an approval step before processing orders? If so, we can include this in the workflow for better oversight.

  6. Uniform Specifications
    Share the specifics for each item, including:

    • Style Numbers and Colors
    • Logos: Placement on garments and preference for embroidery or screen printing.
    • Need Recommendations? We can provide product suggestions, pricing, and samples upon request.
  7. Integration with Your Systems
    Do you use a purchasing or HR system? If so, we can integrate it with CROS for smooth data exchange. Your IT team will need to provide API or connection details for this integration.
