Case Studies Custom Conquest American Solutions for Business was working with a large client in the service industry with extensive uniform program needs. To help his client stand out from the competition and build brand awareness, Senior Account Executive John McNerney recommended custom uniforms. To meet the exact PMS colors, the fabric was dyed prior to cutting and sewing the patterns. The ordering process required meticulous attention to detail, since uniforms were required for over 800 employees in sizes ranging from XS to 6XT. The first order was for 4,000 uniforms, and a repeat order has already been placed.

The website includes uniform pieces for all departments, including housekeeping tunics, chef wear and nurses’ scrub tops. The goal was to keep the apparel professional, comfortable and cohesive. In response to demand, Axis also added lifestyle apparel that both the staff and residents can wear, such as a trucker cap, beanie, pullover and t-shirt.
