BarTender introduces integrated labeling and tracking to deliver complete visibility instantly

For years, labeling and tracking have operated in separate silos – managed by different teams and disparate vendors – creating headaches and costly inefficiencies across the supply chain. In fact, mislabeling is a major contributor to the annual $1.8 trillion global inventory distortion problem, and 43% of operations still lack full visibility into their inventory and managed assets. 

Today, that all changes. The latest version of BarTender connects labeling directly to item-level tracking, bringing product identification and traceability into a single system for the first time. By eliminating the disconnect between labeling and tracking, organizations can reduce inventory errors, improve compliance, and achieve real-time visibility into their operations. 

Introducing integrated labeling and item-level tracking 

The latest version of BarTender delivers integration between Labeling and Track & Trace by automatically registering items the moment a label is printed – without manual data entry, batch uploads, or visibility gaps. 

As soon as a label is created, the item becomes instantly trackable, location-aware, and fully traceable across your operations. BarTender automatically sends the identity data from the printed label – such as EPC data, timestamps, and location details – directly into BarTender Track & Trace via API integration, ensuring accurate, real-time traceability from the start. 

The new suite of Track & Trace APIs are designed to sync directly with your ERP and WMS systems. 

• Logistics API: Automates ASN creation and flags discrepancies immediately
• Shipping Order API: Ensures outbound shipments perfectly match expected quantities
• Inventory APIs: Provides real-time inventory data for accurate cycle counts and reporting
• Events Metrics API: Delivers clean data for monitoring throughput and detecting anomalies 

By combining these new integration capabilities with the recent enhancements introduced in BarTender 12.1, operational teams can strengthen control, achieve clearer visibility, and execute faster across distributed environments.
