Building the operating system for corporate uniforms.
Blueverse supplies uniforms and manages every garment after delivery – a business with garment revenue from the first order and recurring platform revenue on top.
Our thesis
Garments win the customer. The platform keeps the customer.
Companies buy uniforms from suppliers, but issuing, swapping, washing and taking them back still runs on lists. Rental services manage only the garments they rent out, order shops stop at delivery, and tracking systems need lockers or RFID hardware.
Blueverse supplies the uniforms the customer owns and tracks every garment on a phone – and offers the same platform to other workwear sellers for their own customers.
Why now
Regulation is making traceability mandatory.
EU destruction ban
Since 19 July 2026 large companies may no longer destroy unsold textiles; medium-sized companies follow from 2030.
Digital Product Passport
The textile rules under the EU Ecodesign Regulation are expected to apply from about end 2028 to mid 2029 – every garment will need a digital identity.
Safety obligations
Hi-vis garments under EN ISO 20471 have a declared maximum number of washes that nobody can prove today without per-garment tracking.
Business model
Four revenue lines.
Uniform supply
Custom uniforms for mid-sized companies – revenue from the first order.
Platform subscription
Free for the first year for uniform customers, then €2.50 per wearer per month.
Platform for workwear sellers
Charged from day one, plus an onboarding fee per customer account – the seller keeps its customers.
Partner business
Manufacturing for uniform and workwear suppliers.
Market and unit economics
How big it can get.
~928,000
uniform wearers in our target sectors in Germany – the market we can serve.
~€109m
a year – the estimated value of that market.
€30
platform revenue per wearer per year (€2.50 a month). A customer with 200 wearers: about €6,000 a year, plus the garments.
