Our shoemobile, catalog, and web footwear sales, along with our footwear benefit management services [a strategic advantage of Safety Solutions], contributed significantly to our historical year...including a new single year units [pairs shipped] record!
Without question, exceptional customer service is the key to our continuing growth and success.

Safety-services are an important part of our PPE offering, including:

- Hand protection surveys
With an ever-increasing demand for information [sales, products, applications, usage, etc.] and PPE program management services, Safety Solutions continues to make substantial investments in technology. We routinely design and write customer specific software to create cost savings opportunities for our customers.
The impact of technology on Safety Solutions is visible throughout the company. Our shoemobiles [mobile shoe stores] utilize laptop computers and proprietary wireless point-of-sale software. Our distribution centers use bar code technology and radio-frequency order processing.
Distribution of personal protective equipment is a competitive business, utilizing technology to drive cost out of our business gives us an edge...one that we pass on to each and every customer.
The momentum and growth we have experienced through these challenging economic times has enabled us to stay focused on the future and many opportunities ahead. We have you, our customers to thank, for trusting us with your business and allowing us to follow our vision.
