Loftware Broadens its Range of Offerings with Spectrum – A Game-Changer?

by Richa Gupta | 10/10/2013

Loftware, a dominant player in the label generation software market, recently announced the release of its highly anticipated product targeted at tier-1 enterprises, Spectrum. Branded as the only 100% browser-based enterprise labeling solution, Spectrum is Loftware’s premier end-to-end solution designed to address the most complex enterprise labeling requirements. The company aims to assert itself as the industry leader with this new offering, an innovative and comprehensive solution to empower users across an enterprise’s supply chain.

Loftware’s product development efforts, market positioning and go-to-market strategies distinguish the company from its peers in the barcode label generation software market. VDC believes Loftware has brought Spectrum to the market at a critical juncture when enterprises are giving increased consideration to process automation, provisioning and globally distributed work environments. In addition, Loftware’s strategic partnerships with leading business process application vendors, including SAP and Oracle, will provide Spectrum with the flexibility required to meet the distinctive labeling needs of any enterprise.

The completely browser-based operational nature of this new solution serves as an indicator of a broader migration to cloud-based applications to ensure business continuity by improving performance and minimizing downtime. Taking aim at large-scale enterprises with complex global supply chains, Spectrum’s access and permissions features will enable increased collaboration.

Enterprises are more reliant on AIDC technologies than ever before to gain real-time operational visibility. The development and innovation of barcode label generation software is critical to the advancement of supply chain efficiency and precision.
