Label Printing Estimating

Regardless of who makes estimates in your company, they should be accurate and quick. The precise and quick estimating is the key for a successful and profitable label converting business. There is a great number of operations and details to be taken into account and Sistrade Estimating module includes every step for a more accurate result.
Estimating has never been so simple! In just a minute the user can enter the customer data, type of product, technical details about the job, simulate other quantities, apply margins, analyze the financial indicators and send directly the quotation by email through the system.

GS1 STANDARD

GS1 standards enables transparent and efficient trading of products, services, and information between all parts of the supply chain: manufacturers, distributors, retailers, transporters, and others, resulting in a faster, more efficient, less complex and less costly supply chain, allowing organizations to focus on how to use information rather than focus on how to get information.

Considering all the GS1 standard benefits, SISTRADE has incorporated it in the MIS|ERP Sistrade as a new major module to support the logistics.

  • Possible configuration up to 5 types of labels:
    • Label to be applied inside the roll;
    • Label to be applied outside of the roll;
    • Label to be applied in the box;
    • Label to be applied in logistic volume;
    • Label of GS1 logistic standard;
  • Possibility to configure standard identification labels to be used by all customers or specific labels by customer
  • Configuration of different layouts of identification labels, by type of label and by customer
  • Identification labels with printed barcodes of GS1 standard (EAN 128)
