A cloud printing system helped distribution centres cut the time to retag garments for sale in other countries from a month to days

Global tag printing from the cloud

This international garment retailer operates in over 70 countries with a combination of physical stores and localised online webshops. They have a vast network of suppliers in Asia and elsewhere.

The problem

To sell garments in another country, the price tags had to be replaced. The retailer had to go back to an external printing company for the new tags. The garments would be out of season when the tags arrived 4 to 6 weeks later.
