FRANCHISING
Systems is that in the past 15 years things do not go wrong very often ,” says Gayer . However , he recalls a time when the printing on the scale labels was not properly centered . OMNI Systems “ stepped up to the plate and corrected it ” immediately by shipping replacements even though it meant taking a $ 30,000 loss .
When dealing with millions of thermal labels in rolls of varying diameters , another major concern for processors is inventory management .
Once the supplier is approved at the corporate level , individual or regional processing plants can access the information and order using the company ’ s ERP system . However , leaving the task of inventory management to in-house staff can result in human error that can leave the processor high and dry .
For this reason , large thermal label converters often offer several Vendor Managed Inventory options to ensure that label stock is maintained to inventory minimums and replenished quickly from regional distribution centers .
This type of program requires the label converter to maintain its own sizable inventory at specific minimums agreed upon with the customer .
“ From a corporate point of view , we realize that with the volume of tens of millions of scale labels there has to be significant inventory at the supplier as well ,” says Gayer . “ So we worked with them to identify an appropriate min / max inventory for them to keep based on past order history and projections .”
For higher volumes , OMNI Systems offers a consignment option that allows the processor to store thermal transfer or direct thermal labels at their facility at established minimums so stock is available at all times . The processor is not asked to pay for inventory until it has been pulled and reported .
If required , OMNI Systems can also take control of the inventory process for the end user by tasking personnel to go to the processor ’ s site to complete inventory counts and ensure label supplies are maintained .
