Contract Resources
Colour-matched custom workwear that complies with Australian, New Zealand, and UAE safety standards.
Contract Resources (CR) provide general and specialised maintenance services to mine sites in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Arab Emirates. Customised workwear is one of Total Uniform Solutions’ (TUS) specialities.
We provide a holistic solution to CR, which includes a range of customised technical workwear and PPE, polo shirts, branded merchandise, and a customised logistics solution to suit their high-volume needs. In total, we manufacture and deliver in excess of 10,000 units per year for CR.
When Total Uniform Solutions started working with CR 2 years ago, they were having to purchase workwear from multiple suppliers, as a single vendor could not meet safety standards across the three countries. Working with our fabric mills, TUS developed a Pantone colour matched, anti-static fabric, with inherent fire and arc flash protection, which meets all safety standards in Australia, New Zealand and UAE. An inherent fire and arc flash retardant fabric will never wash or wear out – providing superior protection to alternative FR treated FR garments on the market. Those in the workwear industry will appreciate the complexity of this challenge!
The customisation process extends beyond fabric. We added specific pocket requirements with space for walkie talkies, custom embroidery, press studs and zips to the garment – all fully compliant with safety regulations of course!
TUS also developed custom workwear shirts, featuring mesh venting to increase breathability and comfort. Other garments we provide for CR include branded polo shirts and a 4-in-1 HRC2 compliant jacket which is waterproof and fire retardant. T.U.S has also supplied vests featuring phase-change cooling technology to CR’s UAE workforce to combat heat stress.
But we don’t just supply workwear. T.U.S also procure promotional items and corporate gifting for CR, such as branded drink bottles, cooler lunch boxes, pens, caps, promotional polo shirts, ceramic mugs, and client giveaways such as golf and AFL balls. We also manage all quick-response trade show and conference apparel, often co-branding with Woodside, Caltex, and Wood.
Additionally, T.U.S was able to solve CR’s logistical nightmare by engaging our end-to-end logistics solution. Warehoused stock is picked, packed and posted within 24 hours of ordering via the online portal – a total game-changer. For example, our Pick Pack Post solution made it simple to dispatch 1000+ individually-addressed employee gifts across Australia, New Zealand, and UAE for CR last Christmas. Contract Resources are using T.U.S’ next-generation B2BHub online ordering system, which allows staff across all countries to quickly and easily order their uniforms and merchandise.
Staff can also track orders and view their uniform allocation on the B2BHub. Importantly, the B2BHub is saving CR spending time managing their uniform program. Our transparent reporting, stock control, and user management functionality make it easy to oversee the uniform program for large workforces.
