QuickTag

Store floor

Label production for the store floor, all the way to the printer.

Shelf and product labels are printed by the hundreds every day by people who are not going to open a layout editor. QuickTag turns a production routine into a work order, a work order into labels, and each label into the ZPL the printer expects.

01 routine

Production routine

What each store prints, and when. Products carry their own units and storage locations.

  • Routine per store group
  • Items with unit and location
02 run

Work order

The routine becomes a work order, and the order becomes the labels the store team still needs to print.

  • The run generates the labels
  • Transfer between stores
03 print in store

Print queue

The layout is rendered to the printer's own language, so nothing depends on a driver behaving.

  • Layout rendered to ZPL
  • Code on every label
