Create, Manage, and Print Labels from Anywhere—No IT Required
Labeling has long been one of the most time-consuming and error-prone parts of the supply chain. Traditional, on-premise labeling processes create constant friction for operations—slowing teams down and utilizing valuable IT team bandwidth. Without centralized control, companies struggle with inaccurate labels, compliance risks, manual data entry errors, and limited visibility into who printed what. The painful truth: traditional label management is a major barrier to efficiency, accuracy, and growth.
BarTender offers multiple deployment paths to solve these issues. BarTender Software delivers secure, enterprise-grade, always-on printing for organizations that want complete control over their labeling environment. BarTender Cloud, on the other hand, provides maximum flexibility, allowing teams to access the latest labeling capabilities from anywhere without adding IT infrastructure or resources. With this always-on solution, you gain the ability to design, manage, and print labels anywhere—without the need for constant IT support.
Traditional Label Management: The Most Frustrating Pain Points
- Small Changes Require Big Effort – label templates that live on local machines create bottlenecks for even the slightest change to data fields or product info. Commonly, every need involves an IT service ticket.
- Version Chaos Across Sites – with no centralized version control, several templates may exist, leading to compliance issues or mislabeling.
- No Single Source of Truth – when label data isn’t synced, manual entry introduces errors, inconsistencies, and duplicate efforts.
- Low Scalability, High Cost of Maintenance – multi-site deployments are time consuming and often lack standardization. Servers, backups, security patches, and upgrades require constant upkeep.
- Limited User Access and Control – only users physically on the network—or using VPN—can access templates. From a security lens, it is harder to enforce role-based access, and sensitive data stored locally increases risk.
