Garment Inventory Visibility

Real-Time Tracking, Reduced Costs, and Smarter Inventory Management

Managing uniforms and garments manually in a stockroom setting is nearly an impossible task. Most stockrooms hold thousands of garments multiplying the problem. Enter ClearView, the revolutionary garment automation system, that classifies, categorizes and automates both the garment fulfillment process and the garment patch replacement processes for idled garments. The Clearview system also automatically substitutes acceptable garments, as specified by the customer, to fill an order. Paragon Data Systems ClearView Garment Tracking System simplifies the process by providing real-time visibility, reducing waste, and streamlining inventory management. Whether you operate in hospitality, healthcare, manufacturing, or industrial sectors, our innovative system helps you track, grade, and manage garments efficiently—minimizing losses and maximizing cost savings.

How ClearView Garment Tracking Works

ClearView is a comprehensive garment inventory and tracking system that allows businesses to efficiently manage their uniform programs by monitoring garment usage, wear, grading, and availability.

1. Receiving and Logging Garments

• When new or returned garments arrive, they are logged into the system and assigned unique serial numbers and barcodes.
• Each garment is assigned a grade based on its condition, ensuring that only high-quality uniforms remain in circulation.
• Items are sorted into categories such as ready-to-use, in need of repair, or to be retired.

• Each garment’s patch locations and dimensions are recorded in ClearView so that the system can automatically match new dimensional patches for a new customer order.

2. Real-Time Inventory Management

• The system tracks the location, condition, and usage history of every garment in inventory.
• Mobile devices and touch-screen grading stations allow staff to process garments quickly.
• Garments that reach a defined wear threshold are flagged for repair or replacement.
• Cycle counts are built into the system to maintain inventory accuracy and are monitored by management in real time.

3. Automated Grading & Quality Control

• Garments go through a grading process to evaluate wear and usability.
• Automated tracking ensures accurate sorting, preventing old or damaged garments from being recirculated.
• Grading stations print customized tags, including size, color, and any necessary repairs or replacements.
• After existing patches are removed from a garment previously in circulation, the
  former locations of the patches are recorded in ClearView and alternative patches
  are automatically attributed to the garment to cover the old “glue stains.
• Every garment has a complete history, including who wore it, how many washes it has undergone, and its last recorded condition.

4. Automated Picking, Sharing & Garment Substitution/Patch Replacement

• ClearView will break down the customer order form and and match available garments to identical garment or will make acceptable substitutions (with the best garment available).
• ClearView will match available graded garments with pre-existing patches removed to new orders where similar patches can be applied to cover the “glue stains”.
• ClearView will generate pick lists for the local stockroom and then for other nearby stockroom locations and download them to a wearable mobile computer with a ring scanner for ergonomic data capture.
• ClearView managers will have enterprise visibility and be able to search all ClearView locations for available garments to fill large orders.
• Clearview pulling hardware has nearly zero downtime due to its system architecture so that wireless outages do not represent a work stoppage.  

5. Custom Alerts & Reporting

• ClearView Warning System (CWS) provides real-time notifications for inventory shortages, order inconsistencies, and overdue returns.
• Managers receive alerts when grading levels exceed acceptable thresholds or when specific garments need urgent attention.
• Historical data logs help track garment performance, loss rates, and replacement needs.
• Facilities can set up automatic alerts for restocking, excess scrap, excess inventory, rewash or any customer parameter specified by management.
• Detailed audit reports help businesses manage uniform budgets and reduce unnecessary purchases.
