Organizing teamwear professionally – but at what price?
Many companies invest in teamwear to strengthen their brand, identification and professionalism. But with 50, 100 or 300 employees at the latest, the organization becomes complex: Excel lists, size queries, budget management, warehousing and shipping tie up valuable resources.
In practice, there are hidden costs: administrative expenses, internal personnel costs, incorrect orders and capital tied up in stock. Studies on process digitization show that digital self-service systems can reduce administrative costs by up to 30% (Fraunhofer IAO, 2022). At the same time, according to Deloitte studies, over 70% of employees expect personalized offers and simple digital ordering processes.
The central question is therefore not only: What does a teamwear store cost? But rather: What does it cost not to have one?
A digital employee store with budget and role control
A professional store for your employees digitally maps your entire corporate fashion – including budget control, role rights and automated processing.
In our full-service model, we take over:
Article creation and maintenance
Individual budget allocation per employee or department
Role and product visibility (e.g. only certain articles for certain teams)
Warehousing or drop shipping
Order picking & shipping
Monthly collective invoice
The first models start at just € 19.50 per month (Basic) and range all the way up to the individual master solution.
For an IT company with 300 employees, for example, we have established a points system: Basic equipment for all, additional annual credits per department – combined with a technical access restriction to defined items. This was technically demanding, but today it reduces the administrative effort almost completely.
Cost control, efficiency and brand strength
A teamwear store is not a cost factor – but a management tool.
Concrete advantages:
Time saving: no Excel lists, no manual distribution
Full budget control: firmly defined points or voucher models
Scalability: efficient even with 300+ employees
No capital commitment: production on demand or intelligent storage solution
Strong employer brand
According to the Gallup Study 2023, emotional employee loyalty in Germany is only 14%. Uniform, high-quality teamwear demonstrably increases identification and a sense of belonging – key factors for employer branding.
There is also the economic aspect: according to the German Materials Management Association, outsourcing logistics processes can generate potential savings of 15-25% if internal process costs are taken into account.
Options & price structure: What does an employee store actually cost?
We basically offer 3 store variants:
Basic: from € 19.50 / month
Pro: 29,50 € / month
Master: individual solution
The choice of teamwear store variant and other costs depend on various factors.
1. number of items: 10 products or 100? The larger the collection, the greater the administrative effort.
2. logistics model: storage & fulfillment, drop shipping or a combination of both models
3. individualization: CI design, interfaces to merchandise management, points systems & budget rules, international shipping options
For our IT customer with 300 employees, the investment was in the mid four-digit range for setup and customization. This was offset by internal administrative savings of an estimated 15-20 hours per month.
Sustainability & standards: More than just a store
Corporate fashion is also a sustainability issue. According to UNEP, the textile industry is responsible for around 8-10% of global CO₂ emissions. Companies are increasingly responsible for providing evidence of sustainable procurement.
That is why we rely on:
GOTS-certified textiles (Global Organic Textile Standard)
GRS certification (Global Recycled Standard)
License of the Green Button
These standards ensure transparent supply chains, fair working conditions and reduced environmental impact. Sustainable teamwear is increasingly becoming a competitive factor, particularly in the B2B sector – also in the context of the German Supply Chain Duty of Care Act.
A teamwear store also makes it possible to reorder as needed instead of overproducing – a significant contribution to conserving resources.
