Centralized label software enhances accuracy and flexibility

摘要

Founded in 1959, Zatkoff Seals & Packings is the largest independent distributor of seals in North America. With more than 170 employees at eight locations across the United States, the company creates nearly 200,000 unique sealing solutions, which are used in a variety of industries around the world. As its customer base expanded, so did the complexity of its labeling processes. After upgrading to an enterprise bar code labeling system, the company was able to better manage label templates across all sites while reducing training time by 50%. The information on each label is based on a bill of materials, and users were required to perform visual checks at various stages of the process to ensure the label data was accurate. Though intended to boost security, access restrictions and locked files slowed down the production process. When evaluating solutions, Zatkoff wanted to retain users' ability to review the label prior to printing.
