Track Inventory and Assets with Track&Trace
Make hard-to-find items and assets instantly traceable using label data:
– “Count” lets you count your inventory lightning-fast and with up to 100% accuracy via RFID, without the hassle of manual counting.
– With “Find,” you can locate items using a visual map of your warehouse or directly with RFID handhelds.
– “Report” provides customized reports, ranging from a quick overview to detailed analyses.
Ideal for teams that currently waste hours searching, counting, and conducting manual inventory counts.
Integrations and data sources
Label software only works really smart when it uses your data directly. We link the label software to your data sources: this means you no longer have to retype anything, you avoid errors, and you speed up printing.
ERP and databases
Link your labels to your existing systems. We read item data, LOT numbers, expiration dates, serial numbers, and GS1 fields directly from your ERP/WMS/LiMS or SQL database and start the correct print flow from there.
What we often link:
- ERP/WMS/LiMS: SAP, Business Central/Navision…
- SQL-databanken: SQL server, Oracle, MySQL…
- Trigger moments: goods in/out, production order, picking…
Files and API’s
No “heavy” ERP? Then we send labels with CSV/Excel, map drop logs, HTTP/Rest API, or events. Perfect for getting started quickly and growing easily later on.
What we support:
- CSV/Excel on network share with automatic pickup
- JSON/XML via Rest/HTTP
- Business events that automatically print labels
Scanners and devices
Let the operator scan, and the software will select the correct template and data.
Devices (e.g., scales, testers, PLCs) can also trigger a print job.
What we often do:
- Scan-to-print: barcode scans – label appears, validated
- User forms with validation
- Device connection: scale/PLC/test device activates the printout
