you design, import and sell garments that are
produced in 147 different locations all over the world. Garments that
you distribute and sell in 400 stores.
Or you sell hardware that is manufactured in several countries.
In several factories. Which you import and distribute to hundreds of
hardware and DIY stores.
Or you design and sell sporting goods, which you manufacture
or buy abroad on three continents, import and sell online.
Now step into the store.
This flood of clothes, models in different colours and sizes,
prices in different currencies, clothes for men, women and children,
and at least six collections every year. Hardware like screws, nuts and
brackets in different materials and dimensions, and with different
specifications, properties and product names. Seasonal sporting
goods that pass through the store at high speed. The products must
be labelled correctly – a lot of things have to be correct.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the label with the correct
information appears on the exact product, so that the article
information as whole corresponds with whatever left the factory,
arrived at the warehouse, was delivered to the store and scanned
at the counter. Information about size, material, price and other
necessary data that has to be included. As clear and transparent as
possible on a small label that is put into place in a factory far away.
Barcodes must be legible and be able to communicate with your
ERP system so that you know everything about product flows and
anything that might affect the planning of purchases. Everything has
to be correctly labelled. If it’s wrong, it will be very wrong.
PI CTURE THIS:
NOW ASK YOURSELF , doesn’t
it sound like an intelligent decision
to outsource intelligent product marking and label management?
To let experienced specialists and experts take responsibility for
everything being correct.

Our label system talks to your ERP system. Through
Baghera, your label printing is handled via our strategically
located print shops.

The system and the software we have developed com­
municate with all ERP and WMS systems in the market.
Including yours.. Which means that we can take on assignments in all sectors.
Without getting into too much technical detail, this is
how it works: you send order files regularly to Baghera via
FTP. All order and article data is then in the Baghera
system and visible to you, the print shop and your supplier.
Your order file contains a date, Time To Print (TTP).
On that date we print the correct number of labels and
pick the correct number of packaging items, bundled and
send to your producer. Baghera contains all your layouts,
the latest order information and the addresses of all your
producers. It all takes place in real time with full transparency,
so that anyone with access credentials can monitor the
delivery status.

handling, printing and distribution of packaging items to your
producers. With print shops close to producers or warehouses, we guarantee delivery times and the quality of the
base labels. What you pay for is the service and the labels.

true, and Boxon guarantees the flow.

Baghera Logistics Management is all about
­security, intelligent information, better control,
traceability, flows and logistic gains.
Improving the efficiency of handling freight is high on the logistics manager’s list of measures
that impact a company’s profitability. It is all about security, intelligent information, better control,
traceability, flows and logistical gains. In smart companies this is such an important matter and
so closely associated with the brand’s value that even the CEO gets involved. In intelligent
companies, intelligent product marking is a management issue.
Goods that are labelled at the supplier’s premises with all
the information that is relevant for the recipients shortens
lead times and simplifies handling at all stages. From
logistics companies to wholesale warehouses and all the
way onto the shelves in the store. Baghera therefore
includes a logistics service that makes us unique in the field
of handling goods.
T H I S I S H OW I T WO R K S
Let’s take trousers as an example. All order and article data
is already in the Baghera system.
The person packing the order informs Baghera that
this bag that has just been sealed contains ten pairs of size
38 trousers. Ten such bags must be packed in a box, which
is then sealed. 30 such boxes are loaded onto a pallet and
With Baghera Logistics Management, we guarantee that all
p­ ackages and packaging have the correct label. Throughout the
whole logistics flow – from primary package, secondary package,
pallet and scanning – the system reports back that everything
has been packed correctly. You always know what’s on the way.
secured using a pallet collar or stretch wrap. The Baghera
system then creates labels for the bags, boxes and pallet,
and prints a packing list for the whole consignment.
S AV E S T I M E A N D C O S T S
All packages and packaging now have the correct product
marking, right from the outset. The customer can track the
trousers directly throughout the whole logistics chain and
knows where it is.
Baghera’s barcodes are always correct. Logistics
companies and wholesalers can always rely on and use the
label information to manage and simplify their logistics flows.
You can be sure that Baghera Logistics Management
saves both time and costs.

specified by the operator, the labels are printed directly.

CUSTOMER S WITH GLOBAL OPE RATIONS
Many of our customer partnerships go way back in time. View them as proof that the product
marking and label management services we offer do work. Here are four customers with
many suppliers and producers in different corners of the world. The logistics are complex and
are performed partly with the aid of Boxon Systems’ Baghera and Label Cloud services.
Intersport
Right price and right barcode on hanging and sticker
labels. Baghera delivers all labels directly to the suppliers of
Intersport. These include both Intersport’s own brands and
external brands of clothing, footwear and accessories. To make
picking in the ­warehouse easier, Baghera also delivers labels
for labelling multi-packs directly to the manufacturer for the
marking of packages for Intersport.
L’Oréal
The world’s biggest cosmetics company
must have the world’s best logistics.
By using Baghera, all of L’Oréal’s suppliers label
each pallet included in a delivery with unique
and uniform labels. The whole delivery is then
reported back to L’Oréal’s business system by
ASN reporting created in Baghera In other
words, full control from order to delivery and
receipt.
10
KappAhl
Consistent labels with clear information
and correct barcode. Baghera makes sure that
KappAhl’s producers receive price and logistics
labels at the right time. For KappAhl, it is ­important
that changes can be made as late in the production
process as possible. Thanks to Baghera, KappAhl
can then change price and quantity just a few days
before the delivery leaves the supplier. This is an
important advantage in a rapidly changing fashion
industry.
Habo
Order and clarity on shelves is
crucial in the hardware stores.
Habo supplies high quality products to
hardware stores and do it yourself
markets. Baghera makes sure that labels,
pin-pacs, blister cards and bags have the
correct quality, colour and information.
Delivery is made directly to Habo’s
producers in Europe and Asia from
Baghera’s printshops, which are also
­located close to the production countries.
