Whether you’re affected by Loftware’s unexpected retirement of its Loftware Print Server (LPS) family of products, or you’re looking for the best enterprise label management solution for your company, consider these factors that make TEKLYNX the better choice.
Since 2010, TEKLYNX has been an independently owned organization without private equity investment. Our leadership's primary goal is to create value for our customers, not external shareholders.
Loftware is wholly owned by a private equity firm which requires company leadership to place their strategic focus primarily on profitability. In doing this, customers are being forced to migrate from current and effective platforms and solutions which have been in place for years to expensive and unproven cloud-based SaaS solutions regardless of fit or need. As prices increase, product quality, service, and support don’t necessarily keep up.
At TEKLYNX, we aren’t faced with this conflict of interest. We focus on meeting customer needs with reliable label software solutions and exceptional customer support. From the smallest single-user environment to the largest enterprise implementations, our customers come first.
“We work around the clock to differentiate ourselves through customer support and innovation,” said Thierry Mauger, TEKLYNX International President. “We take immense pride in knowing our software solutions contribute to the growth and success of our customers.”
At TEKLYNX, we're with you every step of the way. You'll work directly with a team of engineers who demo, install, implement, train, and support the solution. Our hands-on, personalized approach sets us apart from other companies.

TEKLYNX barcode label software can integrate with virtually any business system, enabling fast, error-free labeling.
Integrating Loftware with your ERP system involves proprietary code. Over time, this custom integration requires maintenance, upgrades, and enhancements to continue serving your business. This increases the total cost of ownership of a Loftware product.

Case study: Before implementing TEKLYNX, TaylorMade faced significant challenges in their labeling process. Software limitations caused inefficiencies, duplicate labels, and wasted label stock. “Our biggest issue was the lack of flexibility in label data sources and the restrictions it imposed on our business processes,” said Rafal Janus, Senior Manager of Solutions Development at TaylorMade.
TEKLYNX solutions allowed TaylorMade to have much greater flexibility in their labeling environment. Following the integration with their in-house IT system, TaylorMade managed their labeling process internally and eliminated third-party software maintenance.
Companies with different printer models know how frustrating it is to have to create a separate Loftware label for each printer. Over time, these templates become totally unmanageable and difficult to update.
TEKLYNX label design templates can be used with any printer. Our native printer drivers are developed in collaboration with printer manufacturers to ensure maximum efficiency between your software and printer.
Loftware is pushing customers to expensive cloud-based SaaS solutions, regardless of fit: Large manufacturer? Cloud. Family-run store? Cloud. Small machine shop? Cloud. Pharmaceutical company? Cloud.
It’s true that cloud technology is a major trend across most industries, and there are a lot of benefits to cloud-based software solutions. The difference at TEKLYNX is: we let our customers lead the way.
Whatever mix of on-premises and cloud-enabled labeling solutions meets your needs – TEKLYNX is here to serve you. Not sure what you need? Our enterprise label management team has deployed thousands of environments and can answer your questions.
In 2022, Loftware announced that their LPS family of products was being retired at the end of 2024. Since then, TEKLYNX has been the solution of choice for countless LPS customers looking for a replacement.
Loftware wants to move former LPS customers to its pricey Spectrum platform. Instead, former LPS customers are finding better solutions like SENTINEL. SENTINEL is a direct replacement for LPS, often requiring very minimal changes to existing integrations to work. A typical LPS replacement in a small environment can cost as little as $7,000 per year*. Replacing LPS with SENTINEL just makes sense.
Some former LPS customers are worried about converting their Loftware labels to TEKLYNX labels. Did you know that LPS labels have to be converted anyway on Loftware’s migration plans? TEKLYNX offers services to take the burden of converting your labels off your shoulders.
