What BarTender does
Labelling first, with tracking when you need it
BarTender comes as two products, and runs on premises, in the cloud, or both.
BarTender Labeling
Design any label, tag or mark, and print it from anywhere
Templates take their data from where it already lives, and forms let operators print the right label without touching the design.
- Data from Excel, Google Sheets, SAP, Oracle and 20+ other sources, in Professional and up
- New in BarTender 12: Intelligent Forms and File Drop Automation, which prints when a CSV, XML or JSON file lands
- Prints to any printer with a Windows driver
BarTender Track & Trace
Item level tracking, from the same partner
Item level tracking tools, built to cut delays, losses and unplanned costs.
- Tell us what you need to track, and where
- We will tell you plainly whether it fits
