Supply chains are becoming increasingly more complex; they are more global now than ever before. The more global they are becoming, the more emphasis there is on changing regulations and demanding customer needs.
With this evolution, labeling has become a critical part of the supply chain. Specifically, Enterprise Labeling is a way companies can successfully integrate Labeling systems with existing business practices.
What is Enterprise Labeling?
Labeling in the “systematic process of creating labels to convey information throughout the supply chain”, according to Loftware. Previously, Labeling was a simple, that’s not the case anymore. As businesses grow, labeling becomes more complicated – luckily, Enterprise Labeling can help you fix that.
Aligning with Business Process
Enterprise Labeling focuses on connecting the Labeling process with business processes. This allows direct integration with the applications that are linked to the label data. This integration allows Labeling to be more of an active process because the data is driven by business applications.
The link to applications is just one facet of Enterprise Labeling. The dynamic nature of this Labeling gives you the ability to adjust labels for continuous change.
Enterprise Labeling gives you the flexibility to design & update labels that are complicated and need to meet a variety of business needs. The system allows more consistency, reduced network traffic, and variability at a high volume.
To maximize supply chain efficiency and to enable collaboration across your business, Enterprise Labeling is essential. It’s a foundation for continuity, consistency, compliance, and most importantly customer responsiveness.
Supply Chain
The supply chain is a complex beast and Labeling is a critical component to maximize efficiency. To succeed, companies need to consider how Labeling relates with the changing demands of the supply chain. Shorter lead times and fluctuating market demands are causing challenges.
With this being said, error-free Labeling is non-negotiable. Every shipment that makes its way through the supply chain has a barcode label that tells us every piece of information we’d need to know. If the label is incorrect, production and distribution will be disrupted.
Customer Satisfaction
Customer satisfaction is paramount in any business. In today’s evolving landscape, this has become increasingly difficult.
Customer-specific Labeling requirements can have countless variations. This is driving challenges to labeling. Enterprise Labeling turns these challenges into opportunities by excelling in customer responsiveness.
Enterprise Labeling allows greater control over the label creation and updating process which then increases the ability to meet customer requirements quickly and cost-efficiently.
Linking Supply Chain Partners
Unsurprisingly, Enterprise Labeling involves everyone in the supply chain. While it is a solution for your organization’s labeling challenges, it involves connections all throughout the supply chain. Your solution can add value to your suppliers, contract manufacturer, and third-party logistics providers.
