An application that helps staff manage and track the issuance of uniforms and protective equipment. This process is currently managed disparately by individual workgroups across the department.
Challenge
Approximately 130 employees receive city-issued uniforms (approximately 4 to 10 items) annually or twice a year through various division methods. Some items must be returned upon separation from the City or transfer to a different department. Some items can be replaced based on division requirements.
Request
A database linked to the employee's PIDM that explains issuance and replacement requirements, dates and tracks the transactions, and allows an electronic signature and dating by employee and supervisor.
Success measures
Is used biannually and annual for employee population required to wear uniforms; assists with budget projections; assists with separations, terminations, and transfers of employees;, and tracks trends.
Describe any workarounds currently in place and/or alternative solutions you have considered.
