I don’t need to tell you that the labels on your products are essential.  What you might not realise is that incorrectly printed labels are a leading cause of product recalls and lawsuits. These Labels can lead to embarrassment for you, unhappy customers and unforgiving regulators. It is critical to reduce labelling risks.

Similarly, labels that don’t do their job and fall off or become unreadable can lead to very expensive product recalls, in healthcare – to some potentially serious health consequences and potentially catastrophic legal cases. 

If you’re responsible for labelling, these disasters can call into question your professional competence.  

What you’re going to learn is how you can avoid these disasters and have confidence when you buy your labels.

As the head of operations, labels are a small, but critical part of your operation.  If labels are causing you a headache in – let me help guide you through optimising your labelling – build a fast and efficient labelling system that you can be proud of.  Imagine a labelling system that’s efficient and accurate. A system that takes data from your ERP system and produces labels with barely any human input. Labelling that’s efficient and easy.

Let’s look at how we can improve your label printing process.

As the head of marketing, it’s your responsibility to ensure that your brand is well-known, well-regarded, and properly represented in all marketing communications – including packaging.  Label design is the key to perfect packaging.

Tracking your organisations assets is not something many senior finance managers look forward to.  Asset tracking is a side project that typically gets forgotten about and is seldom at the forefront of management’s minds, but for a relatively modest investment, you can unlock the full potential of your organisations assets, eliminate unnecessary spending and really sweat your assets.  

What you don’t have a handle on you can’t manage, and other than the people in your organisation, what’s more important than the assets at your disposal.

What I’ve written here comes from years of experience implementing asset management systems using the Wasp Mobile Asset system, mainly in large schools and public institutions, but the experience is equally valuable in any organisation that has thousands of assets that need to be managed.  

Wasp isn’t the only asset management software out there – but it is built on decades of experience mobile data collection.

Imagine… 

• Having a list of assets effortlessly maintained.   
• A report of what assets have been bought – and who they are assigned to.  
• Hold on, this is the sixth tablet Bob has bought this year – what’s going on?  
• Why are we buying another CAD printer when we already have three of them.  
• The ‘calibrator’ was used 77% of the time this month – probably time to look at buying a second one.  
• Van 1 and 7 are due for their annual service this month.  
• The water boiler in the canteen is broken – who do we need to contact to get it looked at… 
• The van was only used three times last month and the depreciation is currently at £3,000 this year – do we really need to own a van, could we just rent one when we need it?  Who’s responsible for the van – it’s Bob in sector 4A – I’ll ask him about it.  
• No, you can’t buy more chairs – we already have 221 of them.  Go find them… 
• The Ops director puts in a capex request for a particular machine – but it was only used for six days last month.
