Label document management is central to the NiceLabel LMS
An executive summary of the benefits of a NiceLabel LMS Label Management System is in this 5 slide presentation
Control Center Architecture · Modules
NiceLabel client
For workstations to print and/or design labels and forms. The client software includes NiceLabel Pro to design labels, and NiceForm to create printing
applications (forms). Each client reports all its printing activities to the Control Center.
NiceLabel Automation
To automate label printing. This event-based service monitors devices and sensors, systems such as ERP and CRM, and changes in a database.
NiceLabel Control Center
A web application for supervisors to manage the NiceLabel production operations from browsers to use Control Center.
