Barcoding starts with a process flow: how labels are generated for inventory, how stock operations are processed, and how goods are packed and shipped.
Some suppliers send items pre-labeled. In other workflows, your team may need to break down pallets and label units for individual sale.
We can help identify a process flow and establish methods for barcoding the key inventory attributes.
On-Demand printing allows for users to pick and choose what labels to print and what situations to print them. Be it a stock receive, pick list, or otherwise.
