Case Study: Spanish Food Manufacturer achieves automated, compliant labeling at scale with BarTender

BarTender® helps Spanish food manufacturer streamline labeling process amid global expansion

Spanish Food Manufacturer faced rising complexity and compliance risk as it expanded globally: manual label design and USB-driven packaging machines, mixed printer fleets, and country-specific language and allergen rules meant the company grew from handling under a dozen labels to hundreds, delaying production and raising costs and the chance of customs rejections. To address this, the company implemented BarTender Automation Edition from BarTender alongside a new on‑prem Microsoft Dynamics NAV system.

Systems integrator PKTech integrated BarTender with NAV using BarTender’s Integration Builder and Intelligent Templates to produce labels 100% dynamically. The result: the firm reduced 300–400 manual label designs to five templates while automatically generating 5,000–6,000 label variants, cut costs, drove errors to nearly zero, enabled a single quality manager to control labeling, and achieved an ROI in under a year — with ongoing 24/7 multi‑language support from BarTender.
