In today’s complex global market, efficient supply chain management is more crucial than ever. With customer demands evolving and regulations tightening, managing supplier compliance effectively is essential for seamless operations. At Barcodes, in partnership with Loftware, we specialize in integrating sophisticated labeling solutions into customer printers, ensuring that each step of your supply chain is compliant and efficient.

Streamlining Supply Chains with Efficient Supplier Compliance

For large manufacturers, the web of processes and stakeholders involved in managing supplier goods is notably complex. From planning to execution, every step is critical to ensure smooth operations. Disruptions often occur during the physical handoff from suppliers, where costs can quickly escalate. For instance, our partner Loftware has observed significant expenses associated with the relabeling of supplier materials—costs that can be substantially reduced through more efficient processes.

The Challenge of Traditional Processes

Traditional methods, such as using Advanced Shipping Notices (ASNs), often fall short, leading to chaos in receiving departments due to inadequate information. Mislabeled items, incorrect receipts, and excess inventory lead to significant time and resource wastage. So, how can these challenges be overcome?

Cloud-Based Labeling: A Revolutionary Approach

Imagine a system where labeling is controlled beyond your organizational boundaries. With Loftware’s cloud-based labeling solutions, integrated seamlessly into your printers by Barcodes, this becomes a streamlined reality. This method allows for the direct application of your data, barcodes, and instructions onto the labeling process, ensuring that all inbound materials are accurately labeled according to your specifications.

The Power of Our Partnership

Barcodes and Loftware bring together the best of both worlds: advanced cloud-based labeling technology and expert integration services. This powerful combination ensures that:

1. Seamless Integration and Support: Barcodes provides expert integration of Loftware’s solutions into your existing printer setups, ensuring a smooth transition and continuous support.
2. Elimination of Relabeling Needs: By applying accurate labels from the outset, our solution eliminates the need and cost associated with relabeling.
3. Increased Operational Efficiency: Our integrated solutions increase the velocity of inbound receiving, reducing delays and improving throughput.
4. Reduced Inventory Overhead: Achieve Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory objectives by minimizing excess stock and related costs.
5. Enhanced Supply Chain Visibility: With improved labeling accuracy and consistency, gain better insights into when supplies will arrive, enhancing overall planning and resource allocation.
6. Future-Proof Operations: Standardizing on a centralized automated cloud platform through Loftware, with Barcodes’ integration expertise, enhances visibility, efficiency, and security across your supply chain.

In the fast-paced world of supply chain management, imagine the transformative impact of automating exception-handling processes. Addressing common challenges like damaged materials, misplaced containers, or defective barcodes is a frequent occurrence for supply chain workers.

When Velocity Forms are added to mobile workflows, it makes the documentation process smooth and easy, so that exceptions can be handled quickly and without stopping workers from being productive.

This not only saves valuable time but also offers insightful metrics on exceptions, facilitating the identification of areas for further process improvement to enhance overall operational efficiency.

How Ivanti Velocity Forms Works

Mitigating Risks and Enhancing Productivity through Prevention

The prevention of damaged items is paramount for warehouse managers and transportation operators, considering the potential ramifications, including costly product returns and disruptions to assigned tasks.

Damage can manifest across various workflows, from picking and put-away to receiving and inspections.

Timely reporting of exceptions is crucial, ensuring swift resolution without causing operational delays. Remarkably, as much as 11% of unit loads arriving at distribution centers may exhibit some level of case damage, underscoring the critical need for proactive measures.

Leveraging Velocity Forms for Automated Reporting Excellence

Velocity Forms emerges as a game-changing tool for optimizing supply chain processes. By replacing traditional paper forms with digital counterparts accessible on workers’ mobile barcode scanners, it offers a streamlined approach to data entry and submission.

The automation engine within the Velocity platform server further accelerates the resolution process by promptly notifying the relevant department to rectify reported issues.

Noteworthy Benefits of Ivanti Velocity Forms

• Swift exception handling
• Accelerated incident resolution timelines
• Seamless integration into the Velocity platform without necessitating changes to the host system
• Reduced reliance on paper forms or institutional knowledge
• The automated flow of tasks once issues are reported

Velocity Forms proves instrumental in addressing situations outside standard workflows. Forms presents a versatile documentation solution that conventional WMS/EMS systems may struggle to manage effectively. For even more detail, read Ivanti’s 2 page solution document.
