For laundry owners
Win brigade contracts. Keep them. Never fail an audit.
Vorrex is purpose-built for fire service PPE laundries. Every jacket, hood, and glove tracked from dock to wearer — compliance enforced automatically, not assembled by hand the night before an audit. When a brigade auditor asks for records, you generate them in seconds. When a compliance rule is about to be breached, the system stops it before it happens.
Why laundries switch to Vorrex
Five problems manual systems cannot fix
Every PPE laundry managing fire service contracts runs into the same wall. These are not process failures — they are the hard limits of what spreadsheets and legacy software can do.
A missed checklist item is enough
Spreadsheets and paper checklists let non-compliant garments slip through. When they do, you find out from an auditor — not from your own system. One missed wash temperature, one skipped inspection zone, and the findings start.
Audit prep takes days you do not have
Wash logs, inspection certificates, condemnation records, and wash-life summaries sitting across multiple systems and paper files. Pulling a compliance pack for a brigade audit is a full-week job — and the answer is still incomplete.
Every lost garment is a direct write-off
Without individual tracking, garments are lost in transit, credited to the wrong wearer, or dispatched past their wash limit without anyone knowing. A structural jacket costs £400–£600. Losing 2–5% of stock annually is a six-figure problem.
Brigade reporting is eating your week
Your clients want live coverage status, condemnation reports, and inspection certificates. Your team produces them by hand — every time. It is hours spent on reports that should be automatic.
Two sites, no shared view
Running multiple plants without a shared system means no cross-site benchmarking, no centralised audit trail, and no way to see your estate-level compliance risk before an auditor does.
What you get with Vorrex
Every capability your laundry needs — from dock to brigade and back
Vorrex covers the full cycle — soiled garments arriving at the dock through to clean stock dispatched back to the brigade — with compliance enforcement built into every step, not bolted on as a report.
Non-compliant garments never reach dispatch
Fourteen compliance rules run against every garment, every shift — wash count limits, calendar life, inspection intervals, contamination protocols. When a rule is triggered, the garment is blocked automatically. No override, no exceptions, no missed checks.
Compliance Engine→Compliance pack ready in under four seconds
When a brigade calls for an audit, you generate the full pack — garment register, wash history with temperatures, inspection certificates, condemnation records — in under four seconds. No preparation, no assembly, no risk of gaps.
Client Portal→Know where every garment is, always
Every jacket, hood, and glove has a unique ID. Every wash, inspection, repair, and transit event is recorded and cannot be altered. Three years from now, your records still tell the same story.
Garment Lifecycle→Your brigade clients serve themselves
Fire brigade H&S managers log into Vorrex Portal to see live coverage status, download compliance packs, view inspection certificates, and raise NCRs — without calling your office. Every request your team used to handle manually is gone.
Client Portal→Your whole estate on one screen
Vorrex Manager gives HQ a single console to see compliance rates, SLA performance, and financial metrics across every plant. Benchmark sites, track aggregate risk, and spot problems before brigades do.
Command Centre→Month-end close without the double-entry
Billable events and invoice data export directly from Vorrex Manager in the format your accounts team already uses. No re-keying, no reconciliation, no end-of-month crunch.
Billing→The business case
£3,000 per month versus the cost of getting it wrong
A single failed audit can cost a fire service PPE laundry its contract. Contract values for a mid-sized brigade run to hundreds of thousands of pounds annually. The compliance administration to maintain them — staff hours, consultancy, audit preparation — runs to tens of thousands per year before any remediation work is factored in.
Beyond contract risk, there is the cost of lost garments. A structural jacket costs £400–£600 to replace. A laundry processing 10,000 garments without individual tracking typically loses or misattributes 2–5% of stock annually. At £500 per item that is £100,000–£250,000 in write-offs and insurance claims.
Vorrex at £3,000 per month per site is not a compliance cost — it is risk elimination. Most customers recover the annual subscription through reduced admin hours alone within the first six months.

Vorrex is priced at £3,000 per month per site. This covers unlimited users, unlimited garments, all compliance modules, the client portal, and support. Multi-site pricing is available — contact us for an estate quote.
Does Vorrex replace our existing software?
Yes. Vorrex is a complete replacement for spreadsheets, legacy laundry management software, and manual paper processes. It covers every workflow from goods-in through wash, inspect, repair, dispatch, and return.
How long does implementation take?
A single-site installation typically takes 8–12 weeks across three phases: garment scanning and compliance rules live in week 4, Vorrex Portal (client self-service) by week 8, and full operations including logistics and the Vorrex Me wearer app by week 12. Vorrex Setup handles initial installation, data migration, and staff training.
