If your company has multiple locations, you might struggle with inconsistent labels. Make sure all your labels follow the same format, use the right data sources, and meet compliance standards. Integrating and standardizing labeling software across multiple locations reduces labeling errors, saves time, and increases efficiency.

 

In this blog, learn how the correct enterprise labeling software can help eliminate challenges in your label printing process across multiple locations.

Browser-based printing 

 

Using browser-based printing with your enterprise labeling software is one of the best ways to streamline printing at many locations. You won't need local software on each workstation. Instead, you can manage web page label printing interfaces from one central location, securely deploying them to users across all facilities.    

 

Enabling browser-based label printing also takes the hassle out of upgrading your enterprise labeling software. Instead of upgrading each single user license, you can upgrade once on the server. Then, you can easily push the upgrade out to all users and workstations.  

 

A browser-based printing interface eliminates local installations. Authorized users log into a webpage to print labels from anywhere. This cuts costs and reduces the risk of error. A centralized solution for label design, approval, printing, and reporting can streamline multi-location label printing across your organization.  

 

Browser-Based Printing Use Case

 

After experiencing rapid growth and expanding distribution into international markets, MicroVention realized they needed a more efficient and controlled labeling solution.  

 

MicroVention collaborated with the TEKLYNX Enterprise Team and determined that TEKLYNX CENTRAL, a browser-based, integrated enterprise label management system, would be a scalable and efficient solution. It would manage MicroVention's multiple facilities and make room for future growth. After implementation took place, MicroVention streamlined its entire labeling process, resulting in a 50% improvement in production efficiency. TEKLYNX CENTRAL’s browser-based printing interface was particularly useful for MicroVention’s clean room operators because it simplified the printing process drastically.  

 

 

 

Supplier labeling 

 

Browser-based printing helps streamline labeling across your own multiple locations, but it also unifies labeling with your suppliers. Supplier labeling is a critical component of an efficient supply chain, and a unified supplier labeling system can have a big impact on overall efficiency and the bottom line. 

 

Some manufacturers resort to simply sharing label files or data to their many suppliers for printing. When labels are updated or changed, the files must be manually re-sent. Not only is this time consuming, but it also opens the door to human error and the risk of using outdated data. 

 

Your enterprise labeling software can be leveraged outside of your business by allowing suppliers to print accurate labels via a customized browser-based label printing interface that is specific to your suppliers. This enables your suppliers to rapidly adapt to your changing needs and print only approved labels without skipping a beat.  

 

With enterprise labeling software that incorporates browser-based label printing, there’s no more manual process of having to send new label templates to all your suppliers. Instead, simply update the templates in your labeling software, and your suppliers will instantly have the accurate labels they need.

 

How does supplier labeling work with enterprise labeling software? 

 

 

Cloud-enabled label printing

 

A cloud-enabled label printing interface is ideal for companies that want to standardize label printing at multiple locations, but those locations are not all on the same network. Contract manufacturers and companies with many suppliers can benefit from a cloud-enabled label printing interface by enabling multiple parties in the supply chain to print labels on-demand from one centralized and secure location.  

 

Cloud-enabled label printing provides a simple and secure way for your print users to print the right labels with the correct data from anywhere in the world. With cloud-enabled label printing, you don’t have to worry about local installations, server maintenance, or software upgrades. This simplifies implementation of your enterprise labeling software across multiple locations in your organization. Whether you are in the office, on the plant floor, or at home, you can execute print jobs with approved labels from the cloud, providing accurate labels for your production workers in the manufacturing facility. Having your labeling software hosted via cloud technology allows any print user to access a simple label printing interface while removing the burden of IT maintenance, such as server management, software upgrades, and local installations. 

 

Cloud-Enabled Label Printing Use Case 

 

One high-end athleisure wear company was looking for a label printing software solution that could work on a variety of different networks throughout their hundreds of storefronts. The TEKLYNX Enterprise Team worked with their IT team to implement a cloud-based solution. They made a working solution before the busy holiday season, avoiding potential downtime before the busiest time in the retail industry. 

 

Cloud-enabled label printing helped them:
