"We are very pleased with the receiving labels on demand.  Not only has the company saved money but the users are very happy with it.  This has saved them so much time.  One of the biggest loads we receive is 400 items and they used to have to fumble around in the labels looking for the correct label for that item.  Now, they just scan the bar code and the label is there.  Also, we have different warehouses and sometimes the user would print the labels in both facilities.  This is very costly with the labels.  Now, we do not have to worry about that.  They have the printer with them and will only send the labels once.

We estimate that we will also save close to $500 annually on labels and ribbon, over and above the money saved in increased receiver productivity.  Also, the implementation was very easy.  This took about an hour to set up the printers and testing took another hour.

This has been one of the best changes that our company has done and we would recommend this for every food distributor."

  “Ok.  There are several ways that we save by using on demand P Labels.  

• Eliminates printing p labels on prior day. 
  • Reduction in personnel who prints and folds all labels the previous day or even the day of receiving.   
• Increase speed of receiving by as much as 50% on smaller purchase orders and up to 20% or more on large purchase orders.   
  • Eliminates flipping through 1-100+ lines on a stack of preprinted P-Labels.   
  • Can have multiple clerks receive a P.O. and not have to print 2 sets of P-Labels.   
• Accuracy is increased as clerks will have to scan UPCs rather than finding work arounds. (keying in item # or scanning the item # bar code on the p-label) 
  • Eliminates opportunity for clerk to use the wrong P-Label. (Can possibly cause errors and confusion later by inventory and replenishers as preprinted info does not match item assigned to that P #   
• Reduction in the number of labels used as we are only using labels that we receive and don’t waste time on reprints for various reasons as well as size change from 4”x6” to 4”x4”. ”
