Innovative solutions for the controlled distribution and tracking of textiles
Servicing Customers Across North America
Save up to 40% of your uniform costs
ABG’s system allows us to operate in an extremely lean fashion. Rather than sending uniforms to many different locations and having to overstock these units, only the uniforms that are needed are used. The machines also control the inventory by blocking users from taking more uniforms until they have returned their previous sets, and of course, ensure 24-hour availability of all sizes for all employees.

Why is automated distribution important?
Automated distribution systems help large organizations that use and manage thousands of valuable textiles operate as efficiently as possible. Our automated distribution system helps managers:
-
-
- Know exactly how many textiles they have in stock and in circulation
- Track losses and holding employees accountable
- Track usage trends to optimize inventory levels and eliminate excess stock
- Ensure 24/7 availability of all items and sizes
- Improve the timeliness of orders to eliminate the possibility of shortages
- Ensure uniforms are distributed in a controlled, hygienic manner
-
Where will I save money?
There are 3 main areas where you will generate cost savings
- Reduction of losses | our customers have reduced textile losses by up to 90% with our equipment
- Reduction of Inventory Levels | in order to avoid the possibility of shortages, organizations tend to keep excessive stocks of textiles on hand. With a loss minimizing system that provides full inventory transparency and limits uniform use to authorized users, you will be able to reduce your overall inventory levels to the quantity that is truly needed to run your day-to-day operations.
- Reduction in laundering costs | The more textiles you use, the higher your laundering costs. By reducing the textile usage in your facility, you will save on laundering costs!
How can automated distribution help make the scrub distribution process more hygienic?
- Hospital scrubs are traditionally stocked on open shelves. When employees rummage through these shelves to find their size, the remaining uniforms can easily become contaminated. Using automated distribution systems can mitigate this risk by eliminating unnecessary exposure and handling. The soiled collecting system will also help ensure that soiled scrubs are kept in an enclosed container, away from other employees and their belongings.
- Studies have shown that hospital scrubs can be transmission vehicles for bacteria. Scrubs should not be worn outside of the healthcare facility, as this introduces the possibility of contaminating public areas. By employing a system that incentivizes employees to return their scrubs in a soiled collector in order to regain their uniform credit for the following day, this risk can be greatly reduced.
