What is a Label Management System?
Traditionally, companies have relied on label or forms design software to support their entire labeling process. The costs of this legacy approach are greater than many companies realize.
By digitally transforming their labeling, companies can reduce the direct and indirect costs of their labeling, and avoid missed opportunities.
Challenges of Legacy Labeling:
- Disparate and fragmented applications
- IT dependency for label design
- Labor intensive quality assurance
- Slow change management and deployment
- High risk of printing errors
Benefits of Label Management System:
- Standardized all-in-one platform
- Agile design by business users
- Streamlined digitalized quality assurance
- Instant web deployment of standardized printing
- Accurate printing from single source of truth
