Pool Stock VS Designated Stock

A pool stock laundry service means various customers will be sharing towels with other customers, this is simply because towels will be "pooled" directly from the shelf.

Furthermore, causing many disadvantages to the customer, for such reasons as;

• Needing to place weekly towel orders.
• Secondly, orders are forgotten and deliveries are missed.
• Customers may over order, therefore creating shortages within the laundry, specifically in peak season.
• Consequently, making it harder to manage stock levels.
• Any misuse of towels would be difficult to monitor due to them being sorted and washed together and as a result customers may not receive back the high quality towels sent in.

All of the above are a clear disadvantages to a pool stock service.

In conclusion, we do not operate a "pool stock" service.

Designated stock is when the laundry will purchase new towels, supplying them to each customer for their use exclusively.

In addition to this towels will be on hire and launder is part of the service. Stock is rotated between the customer and the laundry.

Most Importantly, benefits of designated stock:

• Firstly, towels are sorted/washed and processed separately, which is a major benefit.
• Therefore, eliminating the risk of forgotten orders and no deliveries made.
• Monitoring weekly usages , informing customers if they need to increase or decreased towels
• Misuse of towels
• Replacements for general wear and tear of time
• Towels are delivered in their own coloured laundry bags and labelled with your company name.
• Stock circulation- so stock does not run low.

In conclusion, we only provide a designated stock system to all of our customers.

In addition, we also provide a one off towel hire service, where the delivery location is not limited enabling us to deliver anywhere within the UK.
