Solutions & Benefits

BarTender is an enterprise labeling and tagging solution that integrates directly with major ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, etc.) to automate the printing of labels, barcodes, and RFID tags using master data.

• Automated Label Printing: Middleware that triggers print jobs automatically based on ERP transactions.
• Enterprise Integration (Integration Builder): A sophisticated integration platform that connects the labeling system to the ERP via web services.
• Regulatory Compliance Labeling: Pre-built templates and logic for industry standards.
• RFID Encoding: Encodes RFID tags with data directly from the ERP during the printing process.
• BarTender Cloud: A SaaS version of the labeling software that can be accessed via a browser.

Key Features

The BarTender platform is designed to centralize and secure the entire labeling lifecycle, from design to print.

• Intelligent Templates™: A feature that allows you to create one flexible label design that works for thousands of products. It uses conditional logic driven by ERP data, reducing the number of label files you need to manage.
• Integration Builder: A drag-and-drop tool that lets you create complex printing triggers. For example, it can watch a specific folder for an XML file, parse the file, and send it to the correct printer on the warehouse floor automatically.
• Librarian (Version Control): Provides a secure repository for label designs with check-in/check-out capabilities and revision history. It prevents unauthorized users from changing a label design without approval.
• Data Builder: An internal database tool that allows you to build and manage your own data tables if your ERP data is incomplete or needs to be supplemented with external values before printing.
• Printer Maestro: A centralized dashboard that gives IT visibility into every printer on the network, allowing them to monitor supply levels (ink/media) and error status in real-time.
