White Paper: Driving Costs Out and Efficiency In with Enterprise Barcode and RFID Label Management

How to Respond to Customer and Regulatory Requirements without Having to Change Code

Keeping up with changing customer and regulatory requirements for barcode labels and radio-frequency identification (RFID) continues to be a costly and cumbersome burden for many manufacturers and distributors. Requirements stem from customer mandates, government regulations and the need for internal labels to facilitate supply chain transactions. Responding to these requirements, particularly across multiple divisions and geographies, places an undue administrative burden on the organization. The consequences of noncompliance include chargebacks, regulatory violations and strained customer relations. Other symptoms of poor label management include inventory management issues, unnecessary system downtime, duplication of effort across facilities and receiving bottlenecks.
