What's New in BarTender 12
Unify your operations.
Anywhere, any environment.
BarTender 12 unites on-premises and cloud labeling to simplify production and streamline collaboration across teams and workflows while new tracking enhancements maximize visibility for inventory and operations.
Stop choosing between on-premises or cloud. BarTender 12 delivers hybrid labeling, combining the best of both worlds to adapt to how you operate – without forcing compromises to fit rigid software models.
INTELLIGENT FORMS
Simplify printing
Extend the ability for distributed teams to label accurately every time from anywhere – without opening a file or application. Dynamic, web-based forms separate labeling inputs from outputs so you can print a variety of label templates from the same form. Access the form from any browser, input your data, and print. And, with simple drag-and-drop functionality, anyone can build a form without complex coding or scripting.
BARTENDER DESIGNER ONLINE
Streamline collaboration
Easily connect with distributed teams, remote sites, and external suppliers across the entire label design process. The all-new Designer simplifies label creation with a modern, browser-based UI that accelerates label design and printing from anywhere.
The ultimate level of labeling control
Introducing the Cloud Enterprise plan. The all-new plan delivers stronger labeling control, offering a free pre-built ERP print connector to print directly from popular business systems.
DIRECT CLOUD PRINTING
Accelerate printer configuration
Connect and print to your Zebra printers in seconds – no drivers or software required. Easily connect Zebra DNA printers via weblink or auto discovery to eliminate complexity, dependency on local infrastructure, and IT burden. Expanded support for other printer brands is coming soon.
FILE DROP CLOUD INTEGRATION
Automate printing
Printing is just as easy as dropping a file into a folder – no need to connect APIs. Now available for the cloud, the file-based integration empowers teams to create simple printing automations that trigger print jobs from simply dropping JSON, CSV, or XML data files into a designated folder. Automate your printing without any IT resources needed.
EXPANDED SSO
Scale user access and authentication
Deploy and scale authentication with pre-configured SSO integrations and expanded OIDC support. New Microsoft Entra ID integration joins our existing Ping Identity support, and we now support any OIDC-compliant identity provider, streamlining authentication across your organization.
AMAZON TRANSPARENCY
