Spectrum extends the power of enterprise labeling across the supply chain with
ease by equipping users to benefit from instant, browser-based access to
unprecedented capabilities including:
Industry’s First Browser-Based
Label Designer: Spectrum offers new levels of
collaboration and usability by empowering users to improve customer
responsiveness with unlimited access to label design and version control
capabilities. World-class WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) design
functionality simplifies the design process while label specific business logic
provides users with unlimited flexibility. What’s more, Spectrum’s innovative
Universal Templates dramatically streamline label maintenance by allowing a
single template to output to any printer while leveraging the speed and
efficiency of native printer drivers.
Unrivaled
Integration to Leading Enterprise Applications: Designed to meet the
integration needs of all enterprises, Spectrum provides unsurpassed
connectivity to any source of label data via the latest web services technology
and touts certified integration to SAP Applications as well as pre-built
integration to Oracle®. At the same time, Spectrum allows infinite flexibility
by enabling data to be pulled from any JDBC data source while still maintaining
a single source of truth for labeling. All integration connectivity is easily
managed within Loftware Spectrum’s user interface.
Limitless
Flexibility of Business Rules: Companies can quickly and nimbly adapt to
evolving enterprise labeling requirements driven by regulations, customers, and
geographies via Spectrum’s unrivaled business rules engine. Spectrum enables
powerful business rules to be defined and applied to all integrations and
sources of label data without requiring expensive and time-consuming coding in
external applications. Users can easily define rules to dynamically select
printers and templates, populate label data, and apply conditional formatting
to labels based on the incoming stream of data.
Unsurpassed
Visibility to Label Printing: Spectrum affords new levels of visibility to
both print and job status that can be tailored for each user to share specific
status information based on their location or role. Sophisticated capabilities
allow subscription to “feeds” that proactively inform users about issues with
printers and print jobs. At the same time, robust search and saved search
capabilities offer users the ability to pinpoint specific transactions or
printers to gain immediate visibility to status information.
Built
for Global Deployment: Large and geographically dispersed organizations can
dramatically simplify the deployment and maintenance of enterprise labeling by
harnessing the power of Spectrum’s browser-based interface. The flexibility of
this interface combined with unlimited user licensing empowers administrators
to give immediate access to any user involved in the labeling process
regardless of where they are located. In addition, Spectrum equips users with
full Unicode support while providing for full localization of the user
interface. This permits users to select their preferred language of English,
French, Spanish, German, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese with more
languages forthcoming.
Added
Intelligence to On Demand Printing: Companies can significantly reduce manual
effort and attain new levels of accuracy by using Spectrum’s unrivaled on
demand print capabilities. Spectrum allows users to configure sophisticated
business rules and add logic directly to forms which streamlines the on demand
print process while markedly reducing labeling errors. The end result is more
accuracy and less data entry as the software determines what label templates to
use, what printers to print to, and what validation rules to apply.
Print
Without Boundaries:
The power of native drivers enable Spectrum customers to print labels at the
highest volumes to all leading printers while maximizing print speed,
optimizing network traffic and leveraging built-in printer capabilities.
Additionally, companies can improve operation efficiency and reduce
requirements to re-label incoming goods by extending label printing throughout
their supply chain. Companies can empower their customers, partners, and
suppliers to securely access and print labels to their local print devices all
using Spectrum’s browser-based interface.
Architected
for Your Enterprise: Spectrum
complements its unmatched capabilities with a world-class architecture that is
designed for enterprise-class deployments. Its 100% browser-based interface
changes the rules when it comes to the flexibility to centrally deploy, manage,
and maintain users across a global organization. Support for both Windows and
Linux based operating systems enable Spectrum to align with corporate standards
while LDAP authentication makes user management simple. At the same time,
Spectrum provides disaster recovery and high availability options that
companies require to maintain their mission-critical operations.
