Bodi.Me is proud to announce that it has won the 2026 NAUMD Innovation Award for Size-Me 5.0, its latest-generation digital sizing and virtual try-on technology for professional uniform, workwear, image apparel, and corporate clothing programmes.
The award was presented during the NAUMD Convention in Boston, Massachusetts, held from 3–5 May 2026. The NAUMD Awards recognise excellence and innovation across the uniform and image apparel industries, celebrating new technologies, design solutions, and operational improvements that help organisations deliver better uniform programmes.
Bodi.Me was selected for the outstanding performance of Size-Me 5.0 in supporting DressBest with its Sofitel global uniform campaign.
What is Size-Me 5.0?
Size-Me 5.0 is Bodi.Me’s most advanced digital sizing and virtual try-on solution. It helps uniform suppliers, manufacturers, and programme owners recommend accurate garment sizes for employees without relying on physical size sets, tailoring appointments, body scanning, or selfie-based imaging.
The platform is designed for complex uniform programmes where employees may be spread across multiple sites, regions, languages, roles, and garment categories. By guiding each wearer through a simple digital sizing journey, Size-Me 5.0 helps organisations collect accurate sizing data before production, ordering, and distribution.
This enables better first-time fit, improved stock forecasting, fewer size-related exchanges, and reduced waste across the supply chain.
Why did Bodi.Me win the NAUMD Innovation Award?
Bodi.Me won the 2026 NAUMD Innovation Award because Size-Me 5.0 demonstrated clear innovation in three areas: user experience, AI-powered fit intelligence, and operational delivery for large-scale uniform programmes.
The award judges recognised the platform’s ability to solve real problems for global uniform rollouts, particularly in the DressBest and Sofitel project. Size-Me 5.0 helped support a multilingual, privacy-conscious, scalable sizing workflow designed for international deployment.
Unlike generic size charts, Size-Me 5.0 maps wearer inputs to garment-specific sizing recommendations. This means the platform can be calibrated to the actual garments being manufactured and distributed, including their grading, fit profile, role requirements, and collection structure.
A more accurate way to size global workforces
Uniform programmes often face the same recurring sizing challenges: inconsistent measurements, poor fit, high exchange rates, over-ordering, stock imbalance, and expensive redistribution. These issues become more complex when programmes span several countries or hundreds of locations.
Size-Me 5.0 addresses these challenges by collecting size requirements upfront by garment, role, and location. This allows suppliers and programme owners to forecast demand more accurately before stock is produced or allocated.
For global uniform programmes, this can help reduce overproduction, minimise stockouts, avoid unnecessary reshipments, and improve wearer satisfaction.
Built for privacy and adoption
One of the major advantages of Size-Me 5.0 is that it does not require body imaging, selfie scanning, or intrusive measurement capture.
Instead, users complete a guided digital journey that estimates body measurements and recommends the most appropriate garment size. The system is designed to be fast, accessible, and easy to complete, helping improve participation rates and data quality.
The multilingual interface also supports international workforces by allowing employees to complete the sizing process in their preferred language. This is especially important for hospitality, aviation, healthcare, logistics, public safety, and other industries where uniform programmes often operate across multiple countries.
AI-powered fit intelligence for uniform suppliers and brands
Size-Me 5.0 uses enhanced AI and machine learning to translate user inputs into granular body-measurement estimates, then match those estimates to garment-specific size recommendations.
This approach moves beyond standard size charts. Each client collection can be configured and calibrated to reflect what is actually manufactured and distributed.
For uniform suppliers and manufacturers, this means Size-Me 5.0 can support more accurate ordering, better production planning, and improved stock allocation. For employees, it means a higher chance of receiving the right size first time.
Bodi.Me’s fit intelligence is also strengthened by extensive real-body measurement data, including hundreds of thousands of measurements collected in the last 18 months and expanded female plus-size measurement intelligence.
Supporting DressBest and Sofitel with a global uniform campaign
The award-winning project involved Bodi.Me working with DressBest to support Sofitel’s global uniform campaign.
Sofitel required a sizing solution that could operate at scale, support international users, and fit into a complex uniform distribution process. DressBest partnered with Bodi.Me to deliver a digital workflow that could meet these requirements while improving accuracy, participation, and operational efficiency.
The result was a scalable Size-Me 5.0 deployment that helped support better sizing decisions across garments, roles, and locations.
Reducing returns, rework, and uniform waste
Poor fit is one of the most common causes of uniform programme inefficiency. When employees receive the wrong size, organisations often need to manage exchanges, reshipments, extra production, local alterations, and stock rebalancing.
Size-Me 5.0 helps reduce these problems by improving first-time fit and giving programme owners better demand intelligence before stock is allocated.
Bodi.Me’s technology has supported more than 1.5 million size recommendations since 2013, including 500,000 recommendations for more than 100,000 wearers in 2025 alone.
Across many programmes, Size-Me has helped reduce size-related returns and exchanges, improve rollout participation, and reduce overstock by giving suppliers a clearer picture of size demand before manufacturing and distribution.
What does this mean for uniform programmes?
For brands, manufacturers, and uniform suppliers, the NAUMD Innovation Award highlights the growing importance of digital sizing in modern uniform distribution.
Accurate sizing is no longer only a wearer-experience issue. It directly affects production planning, inventory investment, sustainability targets, logistics costs, and programme delivery.
By replacing slow physical sizing methods with a secure digital workflow, Size-Me 5.0 helps organisations:
- Improve first-time fit
- Reduce size-related returns and exchanges
- Forecast size demand before production
- Optimise stock by garment, role, and location
- Support multilingual global workforces
- Reduce overproduction and waste
- Improve wearer comfort and confidence
- Deploy uniform programmes faster across multiple sites
