What do you like best about Loftware Cloud?

Once the software is installed and configured, it's quick and easy to make new labels and test them. Adding new fields to labels is a simple drag-and-drop process, and it's easy to do common formatting tasks such as setting font size and alignment and common text manipulation tasks such as concatenation and trimming.

Adding barcodes to labels is easy, and doesn't require any knowledge about barcodes other than knowing which symbology you want on the label.

Adding additional printers is easy as well.

The price is very good for enterprise-level software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Loftware Cloud?

The Label Designer allows you to use JavaScript to write scripts within labels in order to do more complex processing than is possible with simple formulas. However, the script editor is a small window and does not use a monospace font. It works, but it's not very nice to use.

The Label Designer is little wonky regarding field size when designing the label versus field size then the label actually prints. The Label Designer shows the fields taking up more horizontal space than they actually do when they print. There's no way for the label to know ahead of time how wide/narrow the characters will be for non monospace fonts using real data, so there's probably not a way to fix that. But it takes a little trial and error when arranging fields that are close to each other horizontally. Often times, fields that the Label Designer shows are overlapping will not actually overlap when you print labels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Loftware Cloud solving and how is that benefiting you?

Each order that my company ships requires three types of labels: a 4" x 6" shipping label, a 4" x 6" customer UCC label, and a 8.5" x 5" internal picking document. I use Avery label stock which is an 8.5" x 11" sheet which contains the previously mentioned three label sections as peel-off labels. Loftware allows me to create different formats of shipping labels, UCC labels, and picking documents and format those three labels such that they print on the same sheet of 8.5" x 11" label stock. To print the labels, I create a simple text file of key/value pairs which contain the labels' data, then move the text file to a directory that Loftware monitors. Loftware picks up my file immediately, plugs the file's data into the labels' fields, and prints the labels.

My company prints several thousand of these label sheets per day and Loftware works very smoothly. In about 15 years of using the software, I've only had problems a few times, and Loftware's support has been very responsive on each of those occasions. Loftware's support has also been great when I've called them and asked them how to do something within the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
