Attracts many new customers
We save hours
“MASCOT® SmartStore is an efficient ordering system
that saves us many hours of work and handling of workwear and
orders. It’s easy to use, and although it takes a few hours to set
up a large new customer, the hours are well spent, as everything
from product selection to print placement is covered. At Carl Ras,
we serve customers with 50-200 wearers via the MASCOT® SmartStore. We already have a large number of customers attached and
add new ones regularly, without having to significantly increase
the time we spend. Once the customer is set up, everything is
automated.
Specifically, we save hours on receiving goods, adding them to
stock, packing orders, transporting goods to be printed, and telephone hours. We have also minimised the risk of printing errors
and have hugely reduced our inventory levels as a reasonable
selection of workwear previously took a great deal of our warehouse space. I find working with the MASCOT® SmartStore to be
a mutually beneficial partnership between MASCOT and Carl Ras.”
“For RTF, MASCOT® SmartStore is the best IT solution
for the sale of workwear to a constantly growing number of large
and medium customers with a wide geographical distribution.
New customers come to RTF because they have heard about
the easy workwear ordering process provided by the MASCOT®
SmartStore.
MASCOT® SmartStore saves time for both RTF and customers.
We saved a lot of workflow time, as it has now become almost
fully automated. Instead of a customer’s employees having to
come to us to be measured and order their workwear, and then
us having to gather the orders, order from MASCOT, sort the
goods-in, print, pack and send orders out, it all now happens
automatically through the MASCOT® SmartStore. Given that RTF
no longer spends time on printing, ordering, inventory, packing
and shipping, we can instead serve our customers better and
more individually, and seek out new business opportunities.
There is no doubt that MASCOT® SmartStore is advantageous
to RTF. We have been selling more workwear with the MASCOT®
SmartStore solution than could previously be achieved through
traditional selling.”

Time-saving and smart
“MASCOT® SmartStore is a really good tool for both our customers and for us as a supplier. It has, to a large extent, saved time on
our handling of workwear orders in the sales department. Setting up a client on MASCOT® SmartStore ensures fast processing and minimises the
possibility of errors from order placement to delivery. The customer sees online information about MASCOT stock levels during the ordering process and thus has knowledge of delivery times and the ability to adjust the order, as applicable. At the same time MASCOT® SmartStore handles
the setup of the logo application and name print; MASCOT handles this service in-house. This ensures a quick delivery of personalised clothing,
and we save on handling and storage. In addition, invoices are sent to us electronically, which means less handling from our side. Our set-up of
the customer in the MASCOT® SmartStore is supported by both good instructions and support from MASCOT which subsequently ensures a quick
flow benefitting both us and the customer.“

Easy and time-saving
“That MASCOT was able to offer their own web based
ordering solution was one of the reasons that we chose MASCOT
as a supplier of workwear three years ago. Previously we had a
heavy administrative process of paper ordering schematics and
having to fax orders to a centrally placed person who had to
collect it all. MASCOT® SmareStore has allowed us to move the
responsibility to the employee, who has a far better handle on his
or her own orders. It has made the business processes simpler and
we have experienced time savings in both ordering and handling,
when compared to our previous processes. The workwear supplied by MASCOT is individually packaged to the attention of the
employee, and has rid us the job of having to keep track of and
sort out which clothes are for which employee, when the orders
arrive. Despite the fact that the vast majority of our employees
had not previously tried to order goods online, the implementation was easy. MASCOT® SmartStore is an easily accessible system
that allows each employee to see images of the products that are
available to them. The employees can always see for themselves
how many points they have remaining. These reasons and much
more were the decisive advantages for the administration of
Falck’s workwear ordering.“

High Quality – Low Price
“At JYSK, we focus on things that are high in quality
and low in price and the MASCOT® SmartStore suits these requirements perfectly. The system is free, easy to use, and saves us time
every day. MASCOT® SmartStore provides us with an easy to use
ordering system for our employees in three countries. I can see
MASCOT’s current stock levels and easily determine delivery time.
At the same time, it makes ordering for our hundreds of employees
easy, because I can see the history of the orders, e.g. what they
received last time.”
