FERAL review for Multi‑Label Barcodes
May 23, 2024
Too many clicks to print a simple label. Should be one click and done. Also limits the number of barcodes that you can print to 400 at one time. We often have purchase orders that FAR exceed 400, creating a lot more work for us. It's CLOSE. But we can't ask our team to migrate from a software program that only requires one click to print a label to multiple clicks to print a label.Time is money. Money is time. Still not quite fast enough to be functional for a scaling retail business. If you're a small shop printing fewer than 100 labels/day, it probably works just fine.
Hi there, thank you for your feedback! We could increase the batch limit to 250 items and 600-800 for quantity, depending on the template. If you wish to give it another try, please contact our support so we can assist further. The default batch limit was designed to allow the servers to process the labels within some processing constraints, but we plan to increase it even more in the future. We've noticed that the most common label rolls have about 500-1,000 labels. Some printers restart from the top if the roll is replaced in the middle of a print job, so we often recommend making sure the roll has enough capacity before printing a larger batch. That's also one of the reasons the current default limit is more conservative. Regarding the number of clicks, we're striving to design a new version that streamlines things further. The current version has three general steps: "Selection," "Print queue," and "Print." The selection is often the slowest part of the chain, so we're looking to improve that area. Thus far, we have implemented methods to select items from CSV files, the Shopify Admin, Stocky POs, and using custom queries (called "Fast select buttons"). Please feel free to reach out if you need assistance with any of these options. Thanks again for your insight, and rest assured we are working on improving the app!
