The power of LMS Enterprise

LMS Enterprise come with extra deployment options:

1. Application servers with Microsoft's RemoteApp technology,
2. Synchronisation
3. Multi-tier support for design, QC test and production
4. Design approvals and revision control (versioning)
5. Graphical label comparison
6. Production workflows and approvals
7. SAP and Oracle connectors

1. Application Server

NiceLabel LMS Enterprise Control Center integrates Microsoft's RemoteApp technology. The Document Storage displays new commands to open label designer, form designer or run-time from the RemoteApp server without any need to have NiceLabel client installed on your workstation. In many situations this reduces complexity and administrative overheads.

2. Synchronization

Synchronisation allows you to keep Document Storage in two or more Control Centers in sync:

Synchronization to geographically distributed locations. The master server is at HQ. Label design is done centrally. After approval and publishing, the label files are distributed to all the production Control Centers which are clients to the master Control Center.

Synchronization in multi-tier deployments The files must travel along the chain from development to production: The Development Control Center is master to the QC Test Control Center The QC Test Control Center is master to the Production Control Center.

3. Multi-tier landscape management

More and more enterprises are relying on two and three tier models to stage and deploy their labelling files. These remove all of the risks of using a single server for development, testing, and production.

A three tier model is ideal: Development, Quality Assurance and Production.

4. Design approval and revision control

Design approval

The initial state in a workflow is Draft. When a design is ready the author moves the files to the next step, request approval. At each step the workflow may require users to provide their login credentials again.The label will only be visible to print operators when it is in the Approved state.

Label approval process with scheduled publishing

This workflow differentiates between the approved state and the published state. After approval you can schedule the date and time for publishing.

Revision control

Document Storage implements revision control for labels, images and related files. Over time, you will have a complete history of your files. The system lets you track changes, revert to a previous version, and restore deleted files.

5. Label comparison

---

Graphical comparison is a great way to see changes between label designs. The tool displays all selected labels and revisions of as thumbnails. You select two labels to compare and a third image shows one superimposed on the other. Colour-coding allows helps you spot any differences.

6. Production workflows and approvals

---

Workflows

Workflows allow you to add another level of quality control to the label printing process. A workflow consists of a sequence of connected steps, controlled by the workflow logic.

---

Design approval process

The initial state in a workflow is Draft. When a design is ready the author moves the files to the next step, Request approval. At each step the workflow may require users to provide their login credentials again.The label will only be visible to print operators when it is in the Approved state.

---

Two-step label production approval process

Two independent approvers must review the document and approve it before it is published. This process can be configured to have two separate approvers, or two groups of approvers, for each step of the approval process.

7.SAP and Oracle connectors

NiceLabel LMS for SAP

The NiceLabel ABAP package prints labels faster:

• Everything happens within the SAP system’s user interface.
• Tight integration without writing code. The ABAP package can be transported into a SAP system within seconds.
• Streamline SAP label printing in hours.
• Instant label previews in SAP
• On-demand "instant" printing, no SAP spooler lag.
• Electronic archive of finished labels.
• Real-time status feedback means no more need to check the spooler, printer and job error state. Confirmed delivery reduces help desk calls

NiceLabel LMS for Oracle

NiceLabel LMS Enterprise integrates labelling with Oracle databases and E-Business Suite applications including Warehouse Management System (WMS) and Mobile Supply Chain Applications (MSCA).

NiceLabel delivers a best-practice solution in hours saving weeks of configuration and programming.

NiceLabel Enterprise does not need any expensive connector technology to add the benefits of a powerful label management system to Oracle.
