What is BarTender for manufacturing?

BarTender is a labeling and tracking platform for manufacturers that helps you create compliant labels and track inventory, assets, and work-in-process in real time. It integrates with your existing systems to reduce manual work, improve accuracy, and provide end-to-end visibility across production and supply chain operations.

Stay compliant with ever-evolving regulatory complexity

BarTender streamlines compliance by automating label creation and pulling the right regulatory data into each template, so manufacturers don’t have to chase constant changes in standards like GHS, DOT, EPA, AIAG, RoHS, or UL. It centralizes rules, reduces manual updates, and ensures every label stays accurate and traceable across products, customers, and regions.

Keep ahead of label format sprawl

BarTender can replace thousands of individual label files with one centralized, data‑driven Intelligent Template system. By using conditional logic and live data integration to generate the right label automatically, it eliminates manual updates, reduces complexity as companies grow, and streamlines onboarding after acquisitions.

Eliminate inventory chaos and asset visibility gaps

BarTender Track & Trace gives manufacturers real‑time visibility into every tool, asset, and inventory item. By replacing spreadsheets and phone calls with automated barcodes, RFID, and centralized tracking, teams save valuable time searching for tools, equipment, or inventory. Trace & Trace shows exactly where an item is, who used it last, and how many are available.
