Label Traxx, the label industry’s job
management software specialist, will unveil Version 7.1 of its industry-leading
MIS system at this year’s Labelexpo. Taking place September 9-11 at the Donald
E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL, USA, Labelexpo Americas is the
premier event for the label printing industry. Visitors to Booth 6023 will have
the opportunity to experience the beta model of Label Traxx Version 7.1 MIS
software.
Version 7.1 builds upon the success and
performance of Version 7, which uses the latest 4D database technology. For
this latest update, Label Traxx is focused on advancing the “paperless office,”
with a new external document system that can store multiple document types,
including PDF, .MOV, .DOC, .XLS and others. The storage system has been added to
all areas of the program for storing the paper trail, proofs, ISO and other
information. Also new to Version 7.1 is on-screen backup verification, where
users can view from the Home screen the last successful backup. If a backup is
not complete, an email notification is sent, thus assuring users that data is
backed up in case of emergencies.
When updating its MIS software, Label Traxx
takes into account the feedback received from those who can provide the most
practical insight – the software users themselves. “Version 7.1 improves upon
Version 7 by integrating what our customers have said will increase their
efficiencies – going paperless. And our new storage and back-up systems provide
peace-of-mind, insuring no losses of data,” says Label Traxx President Ken
Meinhardt.
Additional enhancements found in Version 7.1
include an improved connection from JDF/JML to the Esko Automation Engine and
digital press front ends with more specific job data being sent. Here, messages
are automated when job changes are entered. Version 7.1 also features the
integration of Gantt Chart Software, a user-friendly, visual system for
scheduling jobs and projects.
Meinhardt emphasizes that elements of
Version 7.1 address Label Traxx software users’ requests to have the option of
using a simplified, easy-to-use system. He explains, “Version 7.1 offers a
simplified Estimate Interface. This optional component allows for basic
quoting, as many label printers prefer a rudimentary tool for salespeople or
inexperienced estimators to generate quotes. While this interface allows for
basic estimating, loaded with features it is also available for complex jobs.
And it allows companies to manage the estimate approval process, including
setting profitability limits.”
“We’re really excited about Version 7.1, and
Labelexpo is the perfect forum to show the industry how the latest Label Traxx
software is the ideal tool to help label companies run in the most efficient
and profitable ways,” concludes Meinhardt.
Now in its 21st year, Label Traxx is
headquartered in Milwaukee, WI, USA, and has sales offices in the UK. Label
Traxx also has resellers serving Australia, Brazil and Singapore.
