Munro Footwear Group Achieves Accuracy and Speed with Cloud Labeling

As business environments become more global and complex, companies need to look at labeling differently to keep pace with evolving technologies and to meet the demands of new multi-faceted, dynamic supply chains. Today we’re faced with increasing customer and regulatory requirements making it crucial to quickly and easily make label changes. And, when it comes to labeling, managing multiple solutions creates inconsistencies and inefficiencies while limiting your flexibility to scale. Join us to discuss some challenges customers have faced when it comes to labeling. You’ll hear about how eliminating manual processes by standardizing with a cloud-based approach can help you save time and costs, while reducing mislabeling and avoiding potential supply chain disruptions.

Enterprise Labeling - Where to Start in Removing the Roadblocks

Labeling out of SAP S/4 HANA in regulated industries is complex. Labeling hazardous goods, pharmaceuticals, chemicals and other controlled products requires unique expertise. When it comes to labeling, these products are undergoing significant changes, with new regulations and platform adaptations. If you’re a supply chain professional in the chemical, life sciences or another regulated industry, you’ll want to hear about how to modernize your labeling in SAP to achieve new efficiencies.

Best Practices for Integrating Labeling in SAP S/4HANA

Migrating to the Cloud as a business and IT strategy is qualitatively straightforward and carries with it many business benefits, however, evaluating and quantifying the Total Cost of Ownership of an on-premises vs. cloud deployment is not a straightforward task. To address this challenge, Loftware has developed a guided and comprehensive economic comparison simulation tool that clarifies and simplifies the Comparative TCO assessment exercise. Please join us for a demonstration of our evaluation engine and how to collaboratively shape YOUR business case to economically justify “Migrating to the Cloud.”

Building the Business Case for Cloud Migration

Watch this casual industry focused conversation covering labeling and packaging artwork topics. Facilitated by a Loftware industry expert, this roundtable discussion explores challenges and ideas in each of the sub vertical spaces listed above.

While the advantages of cloud-based labeling vs on prem become clearer, some businesses are still debating the need and urgency to make the switch. The truth is, the longer you wait the more risk your business is embracing as you invest to maintain an on-prem solution and miss out on a highly flexible and scalable cloud solution.

Still feeling unsure?

Watch our recent session where Greg MacKinnon, Head of Global Value Advisory at Loftware, shared perspectives around the strategic advantages and economic value of moving to Loftware Cloud, including:

- Reduced long-term technology expense and risk

- Increase capacity for internal resources to shift time & energy to more value-added and
  innovation-centric activities

- Reduce the ever-present risk of business downtime with an on prem deployment

The Value of Moving to Loftware Cloud

Label print speed and label accuracy are important for every supply chain. Companies need to get products out fast, but if label data is inaccurate, they can face costly fines and recalls.

GSK, one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies, had over 26 different labeling solutions and 40 manufacturing sites worldwide. With no centralized control of its labeling, this brought challenges that resulted in data siloes, compliance risk, and cumbersome label processes.

Working with Loftware, GSK centralized and automated its labeling processes by integrating labeling with SAP ECC (ERP Central Component) and across its global landscape.

Watch the webinar to learn how GSK drives labeling directly from SAP, across its global manufacturing sites and over 3500 label printers, to ensure accurate labeling across their supply chain.

Learn how GSK:

Leverages SAP as a source of truth and drives label printing dynamically from SAP ECC business transactions
Quickly reacts to changing regulatory and market-driven requirements to meet the rigors of high-volume label printing across its global landscape
Significantly improved labeling consistency across its global SAP landscape
Manages regional and customer label demands across the globe, including support for local languages

How GSK optimized labeling from SAP and across the globe

Sustainability has become something of a buzzword in recent years, and for good reason. The devastating impacts of climate change are becoming increasingly apparent and highlight the urgency of adopting sustainable practices and reducing our environmental footprint.

To manage this shift in prioritization, businesses must embrace technologies that not only make their operations more resilient and adaptive, but also enable them to meet their sustainability goals. By leveraging the power of the Cloud, companies of all sizes can improve both visibility and sustainable practices across their supply chain.

Given the importance of this topic across all sectors, we’ve brought together industry experts from GS1, SAP and Kezzler to share their thoughts as to how organizations can meet their sustainability goals at every stage of the supply chain.


Attend this webinar to learn how your company can improve traceability and sustainability across operations and supply chain.

Food manufacturers know how critical it is to maintain food safety for the health of their customers and their businesses. Even if a contaminant originated beyond the food manufacturer’s walls, it’s damaging to customers’ health, loyalty, the manufacturer’s reputation, and the company’s bottom line.

The FDA designed the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) to be a proactive approach to prevent–not just respond–to food-borne illnesses. Since FSMA was passed in 2018, the FDA introduced several new rules to provide a framework for requirements on food traceability. With FSMA 204 on the way, businesses will be required to provide more granular clarity around the tracking of goods throughout the supply chain. Ineffective and overly-manual labeling processes will no longer cut it. In this webinar, prepare for FSMA 204 by learning:

    How FSMA 204 rules are changing and who is affected
    How to become compliant
    What solutions to implement to optimize the labeling process

Autoliv, Inc. is the worldwide leader in vehicle safety systems, and sells to all major car manufacturers. Having such high demand for products that are critical to its industry meant Autoliv could not afford to continue with the manual time-consuming labeling processes that they were plagued with.

Lack of standardization, inconsistent quality-assurance, and reliance on a small group to run the entire process meant that Autoliv was wasting a lot of time.

So how did they remedy this?

Watch this webinar where we spoke to Carsten Lemberg (Project Manager, Sales and Engineering IT), David Srugis (Director, Global Product Development & GPM), and Daniel Weigold (Global Prototype Manager Engineering/Development) about the solution they implemented to cut label design time in half.

How Autoliv Cut Label Design Time in Half

Leading golf club manufacturer PING produces more than 10,000 golf clubs per day in the U.S. alone. Each golf club barcode steers the entire golf club building workflow, which means it is critical for production.
