Automotive Solutions

Improving Efficiency and Profitability in the Automotive Industry Worldwide

No one in the automotive industry today needs to be told by Loftware or anyone else that inventory management, supply chain optimization, logistics efficiency and product tracking through the distribution channel from raw materials to finished goods represents today's best competitive opportunity. And no one needs to tell us at Loftware about the major challenges you face. In short, as a mature industry, as a global industry, as an industry experiencing consolidation and intense competition from new rivals, your challenges are unique. Chief among these challenges is that you can't start with a clean sheet of paper to solve any existing or long-term need. The new life sciences companies can do this; many in the equally intense computer and communications industry can do this. But in the automotive space, there's a huge standing investment in current and legacy systems. Eliminating them is not an option. Swapping them all out for one, big universal, one-time solution isn't an option, either. There's no such thing anyway, but if there were, the costs and timelines associated with unplugging current systems would be prohibitive. And reckless.

We at Loftware know that in the automotive industry, the real innovators are the ones who can sustain the best of their existing systems while building seamless, compatible links to added systems and incremental improvements, while making an occasional wholesale replacement when a new technology like enterprise computing or RFID software comes along and presents such compelling economic and competitive justification that it can not be ignored. Yet, too many barcode software and RFID technology vendors in the automotive space start the process with, "What can we sell you?" At Loftware, with our direct end customers and through our channel representatives who are automotive industry specialists, we start with, "What are you currently using, and how can we extend the life and optimize the efficiency of those existing RFID and barcode systems?" Then and only then do we examine in partnership with you how an added, incremental or new solution in the wide ranging portfolio of Loftware auto-id systems can gain further advantage for you in driving your business forward - with the best ROI, with the right optimization of legacy systems, with the least amount of business disruption, and with the most scalability for the next stage of innovation.

Lastly, we recognize that the challenges and opportunities in the automotive industry are huge. As such, you need vendor partners equal to the task capable of rising to the size and scope of the issues at hand. At Loftware, our RFID and barcode system technology solutions, in partnership with firms we work with such as IBM, Oracle, SAP and others, are equal to that opportunity. Loftware barcode and RFID technology is in place as part of embedded ERP and WMS systems in some of the largest organizations in the world. And that's because while we may not as a company be equal in size to the Fortune 500-class companies our technology serves, no one's barcode software and RFID technology printing systems is more scalable or robust, than ours. In short we're big where it matters: in technology; small where it matters: in low overhead, fast response time; a willingness and ability to understand the specifics of your situation.

Built with your enterprise's size and associated seat and printer requirements in mind, Loftware's flagship product, the Loftware Print Server, delivers a complete barcode label printing software solution for the most robust marking solution available.
