Each week, the Stanley plant in Tupelo electronically receives Excel spreadsheets with Corporate generated production requirements for each day by part number within product class.  Stanley was using an obsolete DOS labeling program with multiple databases.  The quantity and type of UPC and ITF labels required for each part number were  "known" by personnel printing the labels.  Training new personnel was difficult and the correct labels were not available when needed.

Corner Office developed a label requirements generation application with a single database and introduced Loftware for label printing.  The new application automatically reads the Excel spreadsheets and generates the requirements for the right labels at the right time.  Training is now simplified and label status is visible from any PC on the network.
