Optimize Efficiency & Reduce Costs with
Tailored Barcode Label Inventory Management
Managing barcode label inventory is a critical component of running an efficient business. At Advanced Automation, we help businesses streamline this process by reducing costs. Thus, avoiding supply shortages through three specialized inventory management solutions from Zebra. Each option caters to different needs, allowing companies to find the right fit for their operations. This article offers a quick review of the benefits of each solution.
Blanket Order: A Simple, Hassle-Free Solution with
Barcode Label Price Protection
For businesses that require a straightforward approach to managing their barcode label supply, Zebra’s Blanket Order solution offers a convenient option. This program lets businesses place one order for a 6-or 12- month supply of custom barcode labels, with pre-scheduled shipping dates. Zebra produces and ships each batch on schedule, letting businesses focus on operations without worrying about reordering.
One of the main advantages of the Blanket Order program is price protection. Businesses lock in the price of their barcode labels for the duration of the order, ensuring cost predictability. Additionally, this solution has low minimum requirements, making it accessible for businesses of various sizes. Finally, pre-scheduled shipments help companies avoid barcode label shortages, keeping operations smooth and efficient.
Make-&-Hold: Flexible Inventory Control with
Convenience for Barcode Labeling Demands
Zebra’s Make-&-Hold program provides more flexibility for businesses that may not know exactly when they will need their custom labels but still want to avoid the stress of last-minute orders. In this program, companies can place a single purchase order for a supply of barcode labels that will be manufactured in one batch and stored in Zebra’s climate-controlled warehouse. From there, they can request shipments as needed, over a 3- to 6-month period.
Much like the Blanket Order program, this option allows businesses to benefit from price protection, while also offering the flexibility to adjust shipment dates and quantities. By holding inventory at Zebra’s facility, companies avoid the carrying costs of keeping labels on hand themselves, and there are no lead times for shipments after the initial batch is produced. This makes it a convenient option for businesses that experience fluctuating demand but still want to maintain consistent control over their inventory.
Supplies Management Program:
The Ultimate in Inventory Control for
High-Volume Barcode Labeling Operations
For larger businesses with multiple shipping locations and more complex inventory needs, Zebra’s Supplies Management Program is the most powerful solution. This program offers comprehensive management of a company’s custom barcode label inventory. This is based on a mutually agreed forecast that ensuring that barcode labels are always in stock. Thus, making them available for same-day or next-business-day shipment.
With the Supplies Management Program, Zebra takes care of the entire inventory process. Thus, relieving businesses of the burden of managing barcode label stock across multiple locations. Like the other programs, it includes price protection for the duration of the agreement. That ensures that businesses don’t have to worry about fluctuating costs. It also eliminates inventory carrying costs and lead-times. Thus, providing peace of mind that barcode labels will be available whenever they are needed.
This program is well-suited for businesses with high-volume operations that require constant availability of barcode labels to ensure smooth operations. By outsourcing the inventory management process to Zebra, businesses can focus on their core activities. This allows them to avoid concerns about supply chain disruptions
