Simplify production and scale operational visibility. BarTender 12 introduces Hybrid Labeling and integrated item-level tracking to streamline workflows and connect your operations from end to end.
Hybrid Labeling is here. BarTender 12 combines the best of both on-premises and cloud labeling to adapt how you operate—without forcing compromises to fit rigid software models.
Print labels accurately every time from anywhere – without opening a file or application. Dynamic, web-based forms enable users to enter information once and print the appropriate label from a single 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.
Tag and track products within a single system. Newly introduced integrations between Labeling and Track & Trace empower teams to track movement of any item or product within and across facilities as soon as a label is printed, eliminating disconnect that drives inventory errors, compliance gaps, and operational inefficiencies.
Track what matters most with BarTender Track & Trace
Meet receiving and inventory check requirements and audits by tracking new and existing items quickly and accurately.
Pinpoint the exact location of any item, from a few to thousands, in minutes via mobile devices, dashboards, and interactive maps.
Create reports on item-level activities and utilization that provide a snapshot of your inventory and support data-driven decision making
For a limited time, all eligible BarTender Labeling customers can add BarTender Track & Trace at no additional cost, empowering your operations with advanced item tracking capabilities for faster searching and smarter decisions.
Streamline your cloud labeling workflows
Connect and print to your Zebra and TSC printers in seconds – no drivers or software required. Easily connect via weblink or auto discovery to eliminate complexity, dependency on local infrastructure, and IT burden. Expanded support for other printer brands is coming soon.
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.
Deploy and scale authentication with pre-configured SSO integrations and expanded OIDC support. New Microsoft EntraID integration joins our existing PingID support, and now we support any OIDC-compliant identity provider, streamlining authentication across your organization.
