When to keep fitting sessions
To check a new model on a few people before adding it to the range, or for a wearer whose body shape falls outside the supplier's size charts.

Remote workwear sizing, no tape measure.
No photo, no fitting kit travelling from site to site. Each wearer answers a few questions on their phone: their size is calculated in the size chart of every item in their allocation.
In one sentence
What is measuring employees for workwear online?
It is a way to find each employee's size for every garment in their allocation, remotely, from what they already know about themselves, without measuring them in person or sending them a fitting kit.
The question comes back with every campaign: a new starter to equip, an annual renewal, a change of supplier, a new intake of students before term starts. Workwear, PPE or uniforms: you need one size per wearer and per item before ordering. And every supplier has its own size chart.
- No tape measure. Nobody to train, no appointments to book on each site.
- No photo. The wearer does not photograph themselves, no body image is collected.
- No fitting kit. Sample sizes stay at the depot, the parcel arrives in the right size.
- In the supplier's size chart. The size is calculated for the item ordered, not guessed by the wearer.
Comparison
How to find your employees' sizes: 5 methods compared.
Each method has its place. Here is what they cost, how long they take, how reliable they are and what personal data they require.
| Method | Cost | Lead time | Reliability | Personal data |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fitting rounds with a travelling kit | High: shipping the kit, travel, team time on every site. | Long: at the pace of the rounds, site by site, absentees to catch up. | Good on the item tried, if every size and the right model are in the kit. | Little data, often written on paper then re-keyed. |
| Measuring with a tape | High: a trained person, a few minutes per wearer, on site. | Long: depends on appointments and sites. | Variable: depends on who measures, then on reading each size chart. | Named body measurements, often kept in shared spreadsheets. |
| Self-declared form: "What is your size?" | Low. | Short, but many reminders. | Low: the size given comes from another brand or another use. | Little data, but scattered files (e-mails, spreadsheets). |
| Body measurements from photos | Software licence, no travel. | Short. | Depends on how the photo is taken: close-fitting clothes, framing, lighting. | Body photos to collect and protect: stronger consent and security requirements. |
| WeeFizz recommendation, no photo needed | Platform subscription, no travel. | A few minutes per wearer; 988 students across 7 campuses in one week. | 95% of recommendations accepted by wearers, size calculated in each item's size chart. | Declared answers only, no photo, EU hosting, GDPR. |
When to keep the tape measure
For made-to-measure and alterations: there, a measurement taken by hand remains the reference.
When to switch to online sizing
As soon as you need to equip many wearers, across several sites, with several suppliers and on a tight schedule.
No photo needed
How it works
Sizing with no photo: from a few answers to one size per item.
The WeeFizz engine, developed in-house, only asks the wearer what they already know. How the engine works, from body shape to size.
- 1
A few answers
Height, weight, age, gender, then body shape chosen from images. No measurement to enter.
- 2
14 body measurements
The engine derives 14 girth and length measurements: chest, waist and hip girth, inside leg, arm length…
- 3
Each product's size chart
Each supplier size chart is set up as it is, then calibrated by WeeFizz. The measurements are compared with the item's real size chart.
- 4
One size per item
The wearer sees every garment in their allocation in their recommended size, and approves their order in one go.
Same profile, same result: the calculation is deterministic.
Remote measuring
What the wearer sees, on their phone or computer.
No app to install: a link is enough.
A link or a QR code
Sent by e-mail, posted in the locker room or handed to a new starter at reception.
A mini-site in the client's branding
Logo, visuals and allocation items: the wearer recognises their company or school.
A few minutes
The wearer answers once and sees their whole allocation in their recommended sizes.
An approved order
They confirm their items. The manager of their site then approves online.
For the company
Collecting employees' sizes: from the answer to the purchase order.
Measuring is only useful if the size reaches the order without being re-keyed. WeeFizz PRO covers the whole campaign.
- One mini-site per site. Branch, store, campus: each has its own access, and progress is tracked site by site.
- Named or anonymous. The campaign can start without knowing who the wearers are.
- Online approval. Each manager approves their team's orders, whenever suits them.
- Consolidated export. Wearer, site, reference, size and quantity, ready for your ERP.
WeeFizz does not manage stock, does not place orders with suppliers and does not replace your ERP: it provides reliable sizes and clean quantities. To organise the campaign itself, follow the 6-step method for preparing an allocation campaign.
PPE and technical garments
Workwear sizing: why the supplier's size chart matters.
Two jackets labelled "M" by two suppliers do not fit the same person. That is why a size declared by the wearer is not enough.
Each size chart as it is
Excel, CSV, PDF or photo: each supplier's size chart is set up as it is, item by item, then calibrated.
Cut, fabric, use
Ease and body-fit variants are set according to the cut. A technical garment, a hi-vis PPE item or a service outfit are not recommended the same way.
Fit corrected
An item runs small? Its fit is corrected and the recommendation adjusts straight away for every wearer.
The most common pitfalls are covered in our guide PPE size charts: the most common mistakes, and in how to reduce sizing errors in your PPE allocations.

FAQ
Remote workwear sizing: your questions.
Can you measure an employee for workwear remotely, without seeing them?
Yes. With WeeFizz PRO, the wearer answers a few questions on their phone or computer: height, weight, age, gender and body shape chosen from images. The engine derives 14 body measurements, then the size in the size chart of each item. Nobody has to travel.
Do you need a photo or a scanner to find a wearer's size?
No. WeeFizz size recommendation relies only on declared answers. No photo, no video and no scanner is required, from either the wearer or the company.
Why not simply ask employees for their size?
Because a declared size comes from another brand, another use or another country. A wearer who says "L" can match two different sizes depending on the supplier. WeeFizz does not ask for a size: it calculates it in the size chart of the item being ordered.
Is it reliable?
In the field, 95% of recommendations are accepted by wearers. Each supplier size chart is set up as it is, then calibrated, and an item's fit can be corrected if it runs small or large. WeeFizz does not promise zero errors: the recommendation also depends on the quality of the size chart provided.
How long does it take to collect every employee's size?
A wearer answers in a few minutes. The length of a campaign depends mostly on how the link is shared: a school collected the sizes of 988 students across 7 campuses in one week, without a single fitting session.
Where is wearers' data stored?
Answers are hosted in the European Union, processed in line with GDPR and sent over an encrypted connection (SSL). No photo is collected. A campaign can also be run anonymously, without knowing who the wearers are.
Does WeeFizz place orders with suppliers?
No. WeeFizz calculates sizes, has each site approve orders and produces a consolidated export (wearer, site, reference, size, quantity) ready for your ERP. WeeFizz does not manage stock and does not replace your ERP.
