Production planning straight from the heart

Who are we?

We breathe labels

Our story begins in the 1980s with the founding of the label printing company Starlabel. Back then, label printers still coated their material themselves. But computers were already playing a role and our production planning was transparent with our own software in DBasic.

20 years later we have developed a low-code platform for ERP/MIS. Industries in production with special parameterization benefit enormously from the flexibility of the software. Widely used in the steel industry and of course in our own label and linerless printing shop.

But the meticulous planning of production jobs across all presses and departments was not fully automated and efficient. We have now developed the software platform for this. Automatic production planning: The most efficient production flow in your factory based on your parameters.

Our Expertise

From successfully implementing our ERP platform to running label and linerless factory, all of our experiences are embedded into the platform.

Our Innovation

Our software platform has intelligence and advanced algorithms to automate production planning.

Our Promise

We have a clear four-step plan for your success, and we carefully discuss and plan the feasibility together.
