In the dynamic landscape of manufacturing; precision, efficiency, and compliance are non-negotiables. Every step in the production process needs to be meticulously tracked, recorded, and executed with utmost accuracy. This is where label management and automation step in as pivotal tools, ensuring that manufacturing companies meet their targets, adhere to regulatory standards, and maintain optimal operational flow.
The Importance of Label Management and Automation
Label management and automation serve as the backbone of manufacturing operations. Beyond merely tagging products, these systems play a multifaceted role in ensuring that every aspect of the production process is seamless and error-free. Let’s delve into why label management and automation are indispensable for manufacturing companies:
Accurate Product Identification: Labels aren’t just labels; they’re identifiers. With proper labeling, manufacturing companies can precisely identify products, parts, and components. This not only eliminates confusion but also prevents costly errors in assembly and shipping.
Regulatory Compliance: In an environment governed by stringent regulations, accurate labeling is vital. Labels provide a way to communicate compliance with safety and industry standards, minimizing the risk of non-compliance penalties.
Efficient Inventory Management: Labels serve as the gateway to efficient inventory management. They enable companies to keep track of stock levels, optimize storage space, and prevent overstocking or stockouts.
Enhanced Traceability: From raw materials to end products, labels with barcodes or QR codes offer traceability that is essential for recalls, quality control, and overall supply chain transparency.
Quality Control: Labels communicate critical information such as manufacturing dates, expiration dates, and quality specifications. This information ensures consistency and adherence to quality standards.
Streamlined Production: Labels play a pivotal role in work-in-progress tracking. By indicating a product’s current stage in the production process, labels aid in resource allocation and identifying bottlenecks.

The Challenge: Integrating Label Management with Acumatica ERP
Amidst these myriad benefits, the challenge lies in integrating label management seamlessly with the ERP system. Manufacturing companies need a unified solution that not only stores data but also ensures that accurate information is printed on labels. Enter Acumatica Cloud ERP and BarTender, a leading label management and automation solution.
Our Innovative Solution: A Seamless Interface
At InfoSourcing, we recognized the critical need for a comprehensive label management solution that seamlessly integrates with Acumatica Cloud ERP. Working collaboratively with BarTender’s technical experts, we embarked on a journey to create a seamless interface that bridges the gap between ERP data and label printing.
Using Bartender’s Cloud API, we built an interface to configure the templates stored in Bartender’s system and printer settings, with an easy-to-click for printing Labels through the cloud, all within the Acumatica system and through Open API. The Manufacturing team can now complete the Move materials transactions during the manufacturing operations and click on the PRINT LABEL button and get those pre-defined labels printed with transactional data.
Leveraging BarTender’s powerful Open API capabilities, we meticulously mapped and configured their Cloud options to synchronize with Acumatica Cloud ERP. The result? A cutting-edge integration that facilitates the printing of accurate labels directly from the ERP system.
Label management and automation are at the heart of manufacturing success. With our innovative integration between Acumatica Cloud ERP and BarTender, we’re not just printing labels; we’re enhancing operational excellence. From accurate product identification to regulatory compliance and beyond, our solution empowers manufacturing companies to streamline their operations, mitigate risks, and meet industry standards with unparalleled precision.
In a landscape where every detail matters, InfoSourcing’s solution stands as a testament to the power of collaboration, innovation, and the relentless pursuit of manufacturing excellence.
