Abstract: A method of tracking clothing repair requests in the uniform rental industry. The method embodies a matrix barcode at a distribution point for garments. The matrix barcode, when scanned, directs the scanning device to a route accounting software for collecting identifier and repair data pertaining to a garment in need of repair. The route accounting software prompts the device for (a) the identifier data in the form of a unique barcode number physically connected to the garment and (b) the repair data in the form of repairs types to be performed on the garment. The route accounting software associates each repair data type inputted with a service code, and then retrievable stores the identifier and repair data and associates such data with the barcode or RFID chip. As a result, downstream the barcode or RFID card is scanned to ascertain the repair types needed for the physically connected garment.
