Why We Recommend Loftware Cloud for Warehouse & Manufacturing

How much thought have you given to your labeling process lately?

For many warehouse and manufacturing operations, labeling quietly runs in the background—until something changes, like a new customer requirement or a production shift. That’s usually when hidden inefficiencies or outdated systems start to show up.

As a reseller and integrator with programming experience, we’ve helped many companies take a closer look at how labeling fits into their broader workflow. And over time, Loftware Cloud has become one of the most valuable solutions we recommend. It’s flexible, scalable, and it solves real-world challenges without adding complexity.

Labeling Challenges That Cost Time and Money
​
1. Disconnected Labeling Systems
It’s common to find warehouse teams managing label files across multiple devices or storing versions locally on user workstations. We’ve seen firsthand how this leads to inconsistencies, wasted time, and label errors.

Loftware Cloud brings all label design and data into a single, centralized platform. Whether your team is under one roof or spread across multiple sites, everyone is working from the same up-to-date templates—no more guesswork or outdated files.

2. Manual Data Entry Risks
Manually entering part numbers, expiration dates, or lot codes might seem manageable—until it leads to a costly mistake. One wrong digit can derail an entire shipment or trigger a recall.

Loftware Cloud eliminates that risk by connecting directly to your data sources. The software dynamically pulls in the correct information for every print job.

3. Compliance and Customer-Specific Demands
From regulatory compliance (like FDA, GHS, or UDI) to customer-specific label formats, manufacturers and distributors often need a system that adapts fast.

With Loftware Cloud, you can create conditional rules that automatically apply the right label layout based on variables like product type, destination, or customer. This not only ensures compliance but reduces manual setup time and rework.

What Makes Loftware Cloud Different from Other Platforms
We’ve worked with several labeling platforms, and while others serve a purpose, Loftware Cloud stands apart when you’re looking for an enterprise-grade, cloud labeling solution.  Here’s why:

Built for Integration
As a company who custom-builds solutions, we appreciate how well Loftware Cloud integrates with a variety of systems. Whether it’s off-the-shelf software or a homegrown inventory system, the API and data connectors make it easy to connect your label printing process to your existing workflows.

Workflow Control and Role-Based Access
Loftware Cloud allows teams to set up approval workflows and user permissions so only authorized individuals can design, edit, or approve labels. This is ideal for companies with quality control or regulatory oversight needs.

Multi-Site Standardization
One of my clients operates multiple manufacturing sites, each with slightly different label needs. Loftware Cloud helped standardize their core label templates while allowing site-level flexibility—bringing order to the chaos and reducing training time.

Productive Benefits

• Timely and Accurate Labeling
  By automating data pulls from ERP and consolidating templates, label production is smooth and predictable.  Label design and maintenance allows the customer a chance to get it just right.  The standard print integration then creates a label using that design merged with their ERP data.
• Simplicity
  Loftware Cloud allows us to integrate into the data sources in a number of ways.  This flexibility allows for simple and seamless integration when it comes to the end user.  A very complex set of rules and processing can be unleashed by an end user simply completing a transaction.
• Scalable Growth
  For businesses expanding into new locations or adding production lines, Loftware Cloud made it easy to scale up by utilizing a very forgiving licensing model.  They do not get in your way when you need to expand capacity quickly. 

 
More Than Just a Tool—It’s a Long-Term Solution
Loftware Cloud isn’t just about printing labels. It’s about transforming how your operation thinks about labeling—turning it from a bottleneck into a reliable, streamlined process that supports your business goals.
And by the way, IMS doesn’t just recommend Loftware Cloud—we work side-by-side with our customers to implement, customize, and ensure it fits seamlessly into their operation. The result? Faster processes, better accuracy, and labels that always meet the mark.
