The video highlights how Ellco Etikett switched to Amtech’s Label Traxx software to transform their label printing business from a manual, fragmented operation into a streamlined, data-driven company.

Here are the key benefits discussed:

Improved Operational Control: They gained real-time visibility into inventory, ensuring they never promise deliveries to customers when materials are out of stock.

Enhanced Profitability Insights: By using encoder wheels to track actual time and materials used on press, they can compare performance against estimates. This revealed that some long-term jobs were actually losing money, allowing them to adjust pricing or processes.

Automated Scheduling: Utilizing the “Batched” module, they automated their press scheduling. This moved critical knowledge out of a single person’s head and into the system, ensuring the business continues to run smoothly even when key staff are away.

User-Friendly Design: Unlike their previous ERP system, which was difficult to use and essentially became just “another bill to pay,” Label Trax was built specifically for label printing, making it intuitive and genuinely useful for daily operations.

Increased Transparency: The system provides clear transparency around lead times and production metrics, fostering better communication with customers and more accurate business planning.
