Hanging Garments (GoH)

Once the garments arrive on site, RFID tags are sewn into each item. The use of RFID technology allows ACS to track garments whilst on site and increases accuracy and efficiency further as they have the ability to scan multiple garments instantaneously. Each SKU is then added to ACS' system. Once up and running, ACS manages the entire reverse logistics process. Wether rented, returned or pre-owned and ready for resale, every item that arrives back on site at ACS' facility is treated with the same delicate care.

2.) Sanitization & Cleaning – Every item goes into ACS’ large ozone sanitization chamber. when working at full capacity ACS can sanitize 30,000 garments per day. Garments that are marked or stained are then treated by landry specialists.

3.) Care and Repair – When necessary, garments are then passed to expert textile specialists who repair tears, replace zips and buttons and make light tailored adjustments.

4.) Steam – Once ready, garments travel around the ACS facility driven by DFT’s EcoFlow™  system along to the steam tunnel.

5.) Protect – Once steamed, items travel again to the auto-bagger where they are covered in recycled poly to protect them whilst in storage.
