Whether you’re improving your current barcode labeling system or implementing it for the first time, look for these modern features.
In 2024, many (but not all) companies are moving toward a cloud-first policy. When printing barcode labels, the result is a physical label applied to a physical product. IT decision makers must decide which parts of the labeling process make sense to move to the cloud.
The best barcode labeling software has a strong on-premises foundation while offering easy-to-use cloud features.
The most common use case for the cloud in label printing is cloud data. Instead of storing business data on a local server, modern manufacturers store data on private, public, or hybrid cloud servers. In 2024, barcode label software should be easy to connect to cloud data with OData, Google Sheets, or Excel Online.
Label printer giants, like Zebra and SATO, have released cloud-enabled printers. With cloud-enabled printing, manufacturers can print labels from anywhere. Improving accessibility leads to enhanced productivity. In 2024, look for label design software that natively connects to cloud-enabled printers.
Label design software is traditionally installed on local servers and workstations in the manufacturing environment. This continues to be a secure and efficient option for companies in 2024, especially when printing to local label printers. As business data moves to the cloud, it may make sense to host your label design software on the same cloud server.
Seek a barcode labeling software provider with cloud-enabled solutions that can provide expert guidance on the right mix of cloud connectivity for your business.
Companies in 2024 expect software to meet their needs, not the other way around. Your labeling software should be no exception.
With the right barcode labeling software, IT leaders can shift from designing a label to designing a label printing process. When designing a process, configuring your software is key.
The best label software in 2024 offers detailed user permissions. Every employee can do exactly what they need to – and nothing more. User permissions are a powerful tool to prevent labeling errors and their costly consequences.
In 2024, print users should not be opening an editable label design file at print time. Not only is it a waste of time, but it could result in unintended changes to the label. Your label design software should empower you to customize the printing experience with completely configurable label printing forms.
Business technology environments can be complex, and for good reason. Businesses each have unique security needs. Your barcode labeling software should have the flexibility to meet your company’s needs. Administrators should be able to remove inactive users to free up licenses. They should also be able to connect a backup server in case the primary server goes offline.
TEKLYNX 2024 label design solutions offer these features, and more.
If your barcode labeling software has all the features you need, but when you call customer support, you’re put on hold for too long, that software isn’t the right fit.
In 2024, IT departments are juggling many competing priorities. They don’t have time to wait on hold, be transferred, and wait on hold some more, just to be told that they need to call someone else. Although artificial intelligence is advancing every day, no one wants to troubleshoot software with a chatbot.
TEKLYNX Americas customer support is an exception in 2024, answering every phone call live during business hours. 72% of incoming calls are resolved by the person who answers the phone – no transfer needed! The remaining 28% get a quick transfer (average wait time is just 80 seconds) to an available representative for additional help.
Note: Customer support policies may vary by region. Contact TEKLYNX in your region.
"Mitchell was very helpful. It was so great to have the person who answered my call be the one who helped me out and found a solution quickly. Great work!" - Sheldon R, Floating Leaf Fine Foods
"Their help desk should be the gold standard for all help desks." - Ron Dean, Brooks Feeds
