Labels are a crucial link in your logistics and production processes. Yet, many organizations still operate with fragmented systems and multiple suppliers, leading to downtime and extra costs. With a Managed Label Solution, you centralize design, printing, hardware, and service in one managed environment. This gives you greater control, predictability, and efficiency.
A Managed Label Solution (MLS) goes beyond simply designing or automatically printing labels. It is an integrated, all-in-one solution where your entire labeling environment is managed centrally. This includes design, software, printers and scanners, consumables, as well as associated service and maintenance.
Instead of working with multiple suppliers and separate systems, Simac PHI DATA provides everything under one roof. This gives you a uniform, scalable, and reliable system—without worries about compatibility, technical issues, or missing components.
Many organizations still work with a fragmented approach. Hardware, software, and support are provided by different parties, which often leads to confusion and frustration in practice. When a malfunction occurs, it is often unclear whether the problem lies with the software, the printer, or the integration with your ERP system. While you’re trying to find the right contact, your process comes to a halt.
In addition, startup costs are often high. You invest separately in printers, scanners, licenses, installation, and maintenance contracts. Each component requires individual management and incurs additional time and costs when replacing or expanding. Keeping your environment up to date is also challenging: outdated software or hardware increases the risk of errors, compatibility issues, and production loss.
In short, without centralized management, you lose control over your labeling environment, efficiency drops, and total long-term costs rise.
With an MLS contract through Simac PHI DATA, you get a single point of contact for all your label-related questions or issues. Whether it’s a malfunction, a change in label design, or an order for consumables, you reach out to one person, and we take care of the rest. You no longer need to track down the right supplier or service provider; we coordinate everything behind the scenes to keep your processes running smoothly.
An MLS operates on a fixed price per label. This price covers everything you need: printers, scanners, label software, labels, ribbons, installation, configuration, updates, repairs, and maintenance. As a result, you no longer need to make separate investments, and discussions about warranty terms, budget requests, or price comparisons are eliminated. You replace unpredictable capital expenditures (Capex) with a manageable operational expense (Opex), simplifying financial planning and speeding up project approval
Your organization evolves—and your labeling environment must keep up. With MLS, you can easily respond to new regulations, increased production capacity, or additional warehouses. Because the entire environment is managed centrally, changes can be implemented quickly and efficiently. This ensures you always work with compatible tools and avoid errors caused by outdated templates or systems.
We offer MLS contracts with a duration of 3 or 5 years, depending on your needs. During the contract period, we actively monitor your environment. At the end of the contract, we evaluate the condition of your hardware together. If everything is still in good shape, you can switch to an MLS Light plan at a lower rate, without having to replace your entire infrastructure. This keeps your label management sustainable and cost-conscious.
With over 40 years of experience in labeling, automatic identification, and track & trace, Simac PHI DATA is a strategic and reliable partner.
