The most underutilized features of label management software

TEKLYNX CENTRAL is known for its robust scalability and security features, however, you might not be leveraging all the features within the software. That’s why our labeling experts shared some features you could utilize more to get the best experience out of your centralized label management solution.  

• Browser-based label printing: Printing labels from any location through a web interface allows for the capability for operations to take place between multiple locations, like managing a third-party supplier, without sacrificing control and consistency. 
• All-in-one labeling solution: TEKLYNX CENTRAL combines the widely used TEKLYNX enterprise software CODESOFT, SENTINEL, and LABEL ARCHIVE into a single solution that supports your manufacturing environment. TEKLYNX Sales Manager Nick Recht said, “Our most successful users are certainly running their software in mixed mode” meaning they are using all the functions of our enterprise label management solutions when running TEKLYNX CENTRAL.
• Make configuration easy by leveraging an external database: Directly access and update your printing interface based on changes in your business system, ERP, or WMS, ensuring it’s always up to date with minimal maintenance. Additionally, leveraging external databases allows for quick publishing of thousands of labels, streamlining your labeling and saving time.  

The best label management features you should know about 

After asking our labeling experts which features of TEKLYNX CENTRAL they thought were the best, they came back with three that they believed stood out above the rest.  

• Involve suppliers and manufacturers: Out-of-network printing enables suppliers and contract manufacturers to print approved labels locally, making sure there is control and compliance by only allowing them to print the most up-to-date version of a required label. This can lead to fewer labeling errors in the supply chain. 
• Enabling real-time monitoring and reporting: RESTful API allows manufacturers to monitor and report on labeling systems in real-time, providing greater visibility and control over the labeling process. This can help manufacturers identify and resolve issues quickly, reducing the risk of errors and delays. 
• An automated network printing module: You already know you can print labels on demand from a web-based interface, but did you know you can automate label printing as well? You can manage hundreds of printers in multiple locations from a single server with an automated network printing module.  

3 expert tips on customizing your labeling experience

TEKLYNX CENTRAL doesn’t require a lot of development time because it is an out-of-the box solution that is pre-built and can be installed and configured quickly compared to custom developed software where the implementation process can take significantly longer. Therefore, TEKLYNX software is easily configurable for your business needs.    

Here are 3 tips on customization to help you use TEKLYNX CENTRAL to its full potential: 

• Customize your workstation by using logic on the admin page: Streamline your labeling process by assigning specific labels and printers to specific users. Administration can control which labels users see and print, giving a more streamlined process with less chance for errors.  
• Customize your logo or color scheme: Want to customize your interface to match your company's brand? Within TEKLYNX CENTRAL you can customize the design of your interface with a company logo and pick from an array of colors to match your branding. 
• Customize your interface: A customizable user interface reduces errors and misprints. Your complex printing process is simplified to a set of steps that is easy for your staff to master. Create separate processes tailored to the needs of each department, business unit, supplier, or vendor like customizing which field is used for lookup and which fields are used for data entry.
