Cloud technology is revolutionizing various industries by facilitating the digital transformation of critical business systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), warehouse and inventory management (WMS), and product lifecycle management (PLM). As these essential systems migrate to the cloud, companies, regardless of size, are increasingly aiming to eliminate on-premise infrastructure by adopting software-as-a-service (SaaS) models for these processes. This move raises an important question regarding the integration of labeling systems into the cloud environment, highlighting a key area for technological advancement and efficiency improvement.
Loftware, an Enterprise Labeling and Artwork Management solution provider, has introduced Loftware Cloud, a powerful and secure cloud-based labeling platform that utilizes advanced technologies to help businesses navigate the complexities of supply chain management, ensure compliance with customer and regulatory standards, and boost traceability. The platform improves operational efficiency by employing configurable workflows that streamline the labeling process and reduce review cycles through digital management of review and approval cycles. It incorporates a content management system to ensure consistent content in labels and integrates seamlessly with other enterprise applications to automate labeling processes. The solution adapts to changing market demands and customer requirements through dynamic, data-driven labeling and configurable business rules that help meet complex labeling variations.
The platform also supports custom applications creation to automate manual tasks, tailored to specific business needs and enhances print performance, facilitating fast high-volume printing across all types of printers makes and models. Additionally, it includes a Business Intelligence feature that provides insights by analyzing data from labeling activities, presented in an interactive format. This comprehensive approach not only makes labeling more efficient, but it helps customers to identify potential bottlenecks and take fast corrective actions, which helps with business continuity and speed to market. Loftware Cloud enables organizations to:
Adapt to Shifting Demands: Loftware Cloud provides a powerful and intuitive platform that enables organizations to meet the dynamic requirements of the global supply chain. Users can efficiently design, manage, and execute the printing of millions of accurate labels daily. By automating these processes, the platform replaces error-prone manual methods with a scalable, high-performance label printing solution that adapts to changing business needs.
Ensure Supplier Compliance: As industry standards, customer demands, and regulations evolve, they shape how products are manufactured, transported, and retired. Loftware Cloud supports compliance by enabling suppliers and co-packers to utilize pre-approved templates and data for label printing. This control over the labeling process allows companies to manage access, keep precise records of each label, and ensure adherence to compliance and branding standards, thereby eliminating unnecessary relabeling, saving time, and reducing costs.
Boost Traceability: In its commitment to sustainability, Loftware Cloud significantly improves visibility and transparency across the supply chain. The platform supports tracking, tracing, and serialization initiatives, which help reduce costs, increase operational efficiency, and enhance agility, while minimizing unnecessary redundancies. These features lead to reduced rework, lower scrap rates, and fewer relabeling needs, ultimately preventing inventory loss and circumventing costly product recalls.
Seamless SAP Integration: Loftware’s SAP-certified labeling solutions are specifically designed to integrate flawlessly with any SAP setup, ensuring smooth labeling operations as companies transition to S/4HANA. Loftware Cloud’s advanced integration with SAP systems—including SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Suite on HANA, and SAP ECC—enables businesses to lower costs, boost agility, and minimize errors, streamlining operations and supporting business growth.
