Esenca Sizing Launches Garment Audit to Cut Uniform, Workwear and PPE Returns at the Source

New service measures the people who wear uniforms, workwear and PPE, tests every size against them, and shows companies what to change in their size range.

BUCHAREST, ROMANIA, November 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Esenca Sizing, a provider of digital sizing technology for uniform, workwear and PPE programmes, has launched Garment Audit, a service that assesses how well a company's garment size ranges match the body measurements of the employees who wear them.

Esenca Sizing's existing technology uses a phone to measure employees' bodies, hands and feet and recommends a size in each garment, glove and boot. Uniform, workwear and PPE suppliers and employers use the technology to size staff across multiple sites without in-person fitting sessions.

According to the company, data from these sizing programmes showed that certain garments continued to be returned or exchanged even when employees had been assigned the best available size. Recurring issues included jackets that fit at the chest but were loose at the waist, women's garments graded as scaled-down versions of men's garments, and gaps between sizes wide enough that some employees fell between two sizes.

A size recommendation can only select from the sizes a range already offers. Where a size range was not designed around the workforce wearing it, the company found that the recommended size remained a compromise, contributing to returns, exchanges and alterations.

"Sizing technology can only pick the best size a range offers. We kept seeing cases where that best size still didn't fit, and for some garments that was true for most of the workforce. The cause is the grading. A size range built around one workforce won't automatically suit another, even within the same country or region. Garment Audit measures the people who will actually wear the garments, shows where the size chart doesn't cover them, and recommends changes to the chart so it fits as much of that workforce as possible," said Eduard Cojocea, CTO of Esenca Sizing.

How the audit works

Garment Audit compares a company's garments with measurement data from its workforce in three stages:

Measure: Esenca Sizing records the finished measurements of each garment from size charts, pattern files or samples, and employees complete a short body scan using a phone.

Test: A sample group of employees tries on each garment and selects the size they would wear. Each size is then compared against the wider workforce data to identify who it fits and who it does not.

Recommend: The company receives a list of suggested changes to its size range, along with the garments that require no changes.

Each audit includes a body profile of the workforce, with men and women reported separately; fit charts showing the coverage of each size for every garment; and recommendations ranked by the number of employees each change would affect. Recommended changes may include a revised cut, a slim-fit version or additional intermediate sizes.

The service is aimed at two groups: uniform, workwear and PPE manufacturers and distributors assessing their ranges against a specific client's workforce, and organisations that run their own uniform, workwear or PPE programmes and want to identify garments associated with returns ahead of new orders.
