About Unifirm
“Our business was created to address the problem many schools face with the managing of sports and formal uniforms. By using our Radio Frequency Identification or RFID technology, school uniform managers are now able to get more done in less time.” We created a technical solution (created by Digital Science Ōtūmoetai College students) for schools and uniform managers to save valuable time, money and stress in this role.
