At Canadian Linen, we like things clean. But ‘clean’ refers to so much more than laundry.

Technology

Canadian Linen is fueled by innovation. We've got uniform service down to a science with advanced processes complemented by an exclusive, state-of-the-art apparel management system. 

  • Complete Customer Care (C3) Mobile is a proprietary customer service Windows program that is the best in the industry, run by tablets deployed to all of our Customer Service Managers. “They truly grasped Windows' functionality to create an intuitive, user-friendly application with both online and offline capabilities and were able to create a unique and customer-centric final product that rivals some of the best Windows work we have seen.” - Margaret Arakawa, Microsoft
  • Customer Portal is an online tool for our customers to access their accounts 24/7.  Download/pay bills, see your service schedule, contact your Service team, and much more through our Portal.
  • Custom and Focused eStores enable our customers to have a branded home for their direct sale needs. From logo libraries to customized product offerings and employee allowances, we make it easy to keep your employees in the right work wear.
  • Automated systems sort and track your products throughout the cleaning process using advanced RFID chips and barcoding. This means you get the right product on time, every time.
  • Telematics software reduces fuel consumption and increases safety by monitoring driving activity and creating reports, helping identify inefficiencies and modify driving behaviors. 
  • Routing software allows us to manage our routes to be as efficient as possible, enabling us to cut hundreds of thousands of miles driven per year.
  • Electronic handheld devices allow customer service representatives to manage accounts in real time, right from their routes: invoicing at point of contact (increases efficiency, decreases mistakes), managing inventory (improves inventory accuracy), ordering products (increases accuracy) and repairing and replacing garments (maintains inventory quality).

The competitive edge of our ingenuity has made us one of North America's most technologically advanced uniform service companies. Each new technology we adopt means better quality and service for our customers. This passion, coupled with personalized service, keeps customers satisfied and sustains the business year after year.
