For many floriculture companies, printing and sticking customer labels is a daily, time-consuming chore. SDF Horti Software has greatly simplified and automated this process. With the introduction of Scan2Print, it already became possible to print labels directly from a packing slip scan. Now SDF is going one step further with a new development: the full integration of FloraConnect via Floriday.
Thanks to this innovation, customer labels no longer need to be manually downloaded from a portal and matched with the packing slip. Packing instructions in SDF indicate exactly when a label should be printed. Simply hold the packing slip under the Scan2Print unit, and the correct customer label is printed instantly, with no additional handling.
Arjan van der Pligt, management at Pligt Professionals: “Scan2Print offers us great opportunities for further process improvement in order fulfillment. This innovation saves us manual work, increases the reliability of labels and minimizes the error rate. With this expansion, labeling becomes even more efficient, even during our busiest periods. Pligt Professionals is a forerunner in the sector when it comes to such automation. We are pulling together with SDF to further standardize this process between buyer and grower. SDF is indispensable in our operations and belongs to the absolute top of software in our sector.”
For FloraConnect, the daily challenges have also narrowed.
Pieter 't Hart of Uniware (consultant FloraConnect): “Our customers (buyers) were regularly running into a number of challenges. Customers of ours had insufficient certainty whether stickers had been printed by the grower, especially if they were later assigned to an order by the buyer. Even with changes to the price on the sticker, we were not sure if the sticker with the new price was on the pot when it arrived. Because we receive feedback from growers with SDF software, we know with greater certainty that everything is correct with how the buyer intended. This increases the entire efficiency in the chain, from grower to end customer!”
