In their own words
Cloudlabel
Cloudlabel is cloud-based software for designing, managing and printing labels, as well as generating barcodes. Designs and data are stored centrally, so users can access and print them from different locations. The product lists native support for more than 3,000 printer models, with other printers available through local drivers, and users can monitor print-order status in real time. It can connect to ERP systems that generate outgoing data, including TXT or CSV files. A REST API covers print jobs, articles, orders, printers and groups; it is included with Standard and Business and available as a Starter add-on. Quality-assurance tools include label versioning, approval flows and checkout locks. The Free plan includes one user, one label, one print path, PDF-only printing and 100 print jobs per month. STARTER costs €50 a month and STANDARD costs €150 a month. Cloudlabel works on Mac and PC and is hosted in Microsoft Azure.
