ClearOrbit Unveils Compliance Label Management Software To Complement SAP Supply Chain Solutions

Austin, TX & Atlanta, GA - ClearOrbit, provider of real-time supply chain execution and reverse logistics solutions, recently introduced its Compliance Label Manager (CLM ) software that complements SAP enterprise supply chain solutions at SAPPHIRE '07 Atlanta, SAP's international customer conference. CLM, the latest addition to ClearOrbit's product suite that extends SAP applications for supply chain execution, is a sophisticated enterprise printing platform that offers companies a highly configurable environment for bar code and label production and management.

Compliance Label Manager enables users to define and manage bar code and label formats without the expense and maintenance of custom programming and supports instantaneous label changes globally without code modification. CLM offers proven scalability and performance with an n-tier, Java-based load balancing bar code print server. A web-based management console provides real-time control over all printers and network hardware, including queue management and dynamic label reprint capabilities.

Dozens of leading manufacturers and distributors have already implemented Compliance Label Manager to automate the design, development, deployment and printing of bar code and labels across their global enterprises. CLM can be used throughout the supply chain including inbound items from suppliers, for internal warehousing / manufacturing operations, and outbound for shipping, distribution and logistics. CLM supports industry-compliant labels to meet customer and regulatory requirements in industries such as consumer products, healthcare, high tech and automotive.

One consumer products company, Doskocil, manufacturer of Petmate pet products, purchased CLM because of the ability to create bar code labels for most customers, as well as embedded smart tags for customers such as Wal-Mart requiring labels. With CLM, Doskocil can configure rules to define the content and type of label formats and tags, allowing dynamic selection based on customer, ship-to location, material type, or any number of additional criteria. "ClearOrbit has been a great partner in helping us leverage bar code technology to enable customer compliance and optimize supply chain operations," said Roy Gallagher, director of IT for Doskocil. "CLM promises to be a great option for companies wishing to deploy bar code functionality quickly and easily."

Warren Sumner, ClearOrbit's vice president of marketing and strategy, said, "ClearOrbit understands the needs of the users of SAP solutions in the supply chain marketplace, and we will continue developing software solutions that advance our track record of enabling companies to achieve higher levels of efficiency and success throughout their logistical operations. Our goal is to continue working with SAP to lower the TCO for our customers."
