Challenges
CPL implemented a Loftware Enterprise Labeling Solution to overcome the time-consuming manual processes they encountered daily. They also needed to comply with regulations while eliminating the costly labeling errors inherent with a manual labeling approach. They were also looking to reduce the number of labeling solutions and related management efforts.
CPL was faced with meeting a range of complex customer labeling requirements and needed to eliminate the delays and downtime they were encountering with their existing labeling solution.
