Use CHEQ's notifications feature to let every employee know in time when their workwear and protective clothing is due for replacement. The system can notify employees not only on the day of expiry, but even 30-10-5 days in advance. This way every colleague can arrange the replacement of their workwear in time, without having to interrupt their work or deal with it on their day off.

In the automated notification, give colleagues the option to indicate with a single tap the size or other attributes of the workwear they want to replace, or even which site they'd like to pick up the new gear at. This can save you a great deal of time and money, since you'll have exactly as many of each size in stock as you actually need.

Besides setting up the notification, we also recommend making the workwear and protective clothing replacement policy and the wear period available in the CHEQ menu.

Why is it good for the company?

Manually tracking and notifying employees about when it's time to replace their workwear and protective clothing takes an enormous amount of work. Besides putting a heavy burden on administrators, especially at large companies, it also carries the risk of someone not being notified in time. And depending on the job, it can be dangerous if work is carried out past the prescribed period or in workwear and protective clothing that doesn't meet the requirements.

With CHEQ it's easy to ensure that every employee is always informed in time about the mandatory workwear and protective clothing replacement deadline. You only need to configure the notification rules once, and from then on employees are notified of the deadline automatically. In other words, they'll be notified in time even if the colleague responsible couldn't handle the notification manually for whatever reason.

Beyond the notification, through the CHEQ digital channel you can also offer employees further options for taking the next step. You can attach buttons to the message that let them immediately start the process of replacing their workwear and protective clothing. This replaces emails, phone calls, waiting around, and swaps caused by size mismatches.

Why is it good for employees?

They're notified of the workwear and protective clothing replacement deadline in time, and they also get the chance to take the next steps simply and even immediately. This is of significant value, since working multiple shifts can make it difficult to handle matters in person. The CHEQ digital channel, however, makes it possible to handle everything related to replacing workwear and protective clothing from anywhere, at any time. They only need to show up in person at the handover, to return the used workwear and pick up the new one. All in all, employees save a significant amount of time they can spend on their work or their family, since thanks to the automated notification they can avoid having this important task fall on their rest day.
