Labels Without The Labor: Why Automation Matters

Automation in supply chains often brings to mind robots and conveyor belts. But one of the most impactful forms of automation happens behind the scenes: labeling.

In this episode, Reid Jackson and Liz Sertl speak with Nick Recht, Director of Sales at TEKLYNX, about how labeling automation improves accuracy, reduces costly manual steps, and connects critical data across supply chain systems.

Nick explains why the industry still relies on the risky "file, open, print, and pray" process and how integrating labeling directly with business systems like ERP and WMS platforms can eliminate errors and save hours of manual work.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why labeling automation reduces costly errors and manual processes
How integrating labeling with business systems improves efficiency
