Anyone involved in manufacturing knows that a label is much more than just a sticker on a package. It contains batch numbers, expiration dates, barcodes, customer information, and legal disclosures. The question, then, is: how do you keep all of this under control when products, customers, and requirements are constantly changing?

Can you manage labels from within SAP Business One?

Yes. With Computec’s label module, SAP Business One serves as a central hub for managing both label templates and label printers. This means you don’t have to keep track of separate files or rely on local settings at individual workstations.

The correct data is retrieved directly from SAP Business One and placed on the appropriate label. This eliminates the need for manual retyping and reduces the risk of errors.

What are the practical benefits?

Suppose a customer requests a different label. Or suppose a product needs a new label due to changes in regulations. Instead of having to update multiple systems, you manage the template in one place. The production department then automatically prints the correct label.

Even when an organization has multiple production lines or locations, templates and printers continue to be managed centrally. As a result, everyone works with the same label format.

Is this intended only for large manufacturers?

No. It is precisely companies that want to keep their processes organized that benefit from it. As the number of products, customers, or packaging variants grows, so does the need for controlled label management.

Which labels can you control?

Virtually all common labels are supported. Examples include:

• product labels;
• pallet labels;
• shipping labels;
• GS1 labels;
• customer- or industry-specific labels;
• Labels with barcodes, QR codes, and variable product information.

The content is populated with data from SAP Business One, ensuring that the information always reflects the current records.

Greater Control Over Label Management

Many companies still view label printing as a separate step in the production process. Integrating this into SAP Business One provides greater control over templates, printers, and the data that appears on a label.

At Logres, we regularly demonstrate just how much is already possible out of the box with SAP Business One, supplemented by proven add-ons such as those from Computec. It often turns out that organizations need to do much less manual work than they initially expect.
