Whether you’re a small business or a company whose reach spans worldwide, operational efficiency should always be at the front of your mind. But what about labeling efficiencies? Barcode labeling is a critical aspect of business operations to get your products to the right place at the right time. When it comes to improving operational efficiency, manufacturers regularly review key performance indicators like cycle time, on-time delivery, and customer return rate. Barcode labeling and enterprise label management play a key role across many operational KPIs. Within this blog post, we'll take a deeper dive into how label management software can help improve your operational efficiency now and into the future.
Label management software can be defined as software that helps companies manage their label design and printing in an efficient and secure way. The three types of label management software we focus on are: print automation, label security & traceability, and centralized label management.
Removing manual steps is one of the most obvious ways to gain efficiencies in your labeling process. Unfortunately, humans can make mistakes, and mistakes cost money. By using label management software to automate label printing from your business system, you can simplify use and maintenance, improve ROI on existing technology infrastructure, and increase labeling efficiency and accuracy. One of TEKLYNX current users reduced costs by $8,476 per year by implementing our print automation solution, SENTINEL.
Integrating your label printing system with your ERP system promises to minimize errors, increase print speeds, and maximize your return on investment. By generating print-time data directly from your ERP system, such as SAP or Oracle, instead of manually entering critical data, you create fewer steps meaning lower risk of mistakes. Our integration method allows you to connect to to virtually any business system, allowing for smooth sailing with your label management software.

Wouldn’t it be nice to know who, what, where, and when any of your barcode labels are being printed? Well, you can! With label security and traceability software you can organize and control your labeling environment by capturing it all. This label management software fits into your IT environment by taking file maintenance from the desktop to the server room, minimizing the risk of errors.
By implementing a robust label security & traceability solution, you can also eliminate manual steps and control the label approval process from design to production by setting up automatic label approval emails. This allows the person who manages the labels to view and approve each one, ensuring there are no unauthorized labels entering production. With the shift to remote work, manufacturers are transitioning to a paperless label approval process to replace manual interaction. By implementing this in their labeling system, manufacturers can create a green & sustainable environment as well as setting them up for success now and into the future. With LABEL ARCHIVE, you can achieve a paperless approval process by:
