Tamper-Evident Labeling? We Got Your Solution
August 2018
Credit card skimmers at the gas pump cost consumers and businesses millions of dollars a year in fraudulent card transactions. It can even lead to identity theft for your customers! Generic tamper evident labels may not be an adequate deterrent given they are available on line for anyone to purchase and use, including the bad guys!

In no time, operators can implement their own unique tamper evident labels in the fight against credit card skimmers.

Providing Fresh Prepared Food Gets Innovative
February 2018
Convenience stores and Grocers continue to innovate on providing fresh prepared foods for their loyal customers. That's no small task in the midst of rising minimum wages, and new regulations on nutritional labeling and meat grind logging and traceability. Combine these variables with others like figuring out how to capture online orders for pick-up, what human resources are needed, and what technology can make it all work, can be daunting.
Store operators must figure out how to do more with the same amount of people, or fewer. As the old saying goes, 'How can you work smarter, not harder?' Regarding labeling and sorting tasks, most of these activities have traditionally been completed in the back office or warehouse. One way that is increasingly gaining ground is using mobile technology to move many store tasks to the front, on the store floor, in the aisle, and at the food counter. This enables workers to be closer to customers, allowing them to perform store tasks when not helping a customer, while maintaining visibility to customers when needed. This is very helpful on shelving resets and pricing updates, as you no longer have to depend on a printing service to ship the updated shelf labels or fresh food labels. You can easily print them on demand as needed, minimizing cost and waste.
Whether it's food labeling to meet the new Common Sense Nutritional Labeling regulations, or product/shelf labeling to track inventory more accurately, the Brother TD-2000 and Rugged Jet series printers are some of the best tools for grocers or C-stores to get the job done. In either a mobile or fixed configuration, it's easy to use, secure, and extremely flexible, with models which connect to iOS®, Android™ and Windows operating systems.

Technology and Food Safety Syncing Up
January 2018
Smart technology solutions are becoming more essential when serving the retail customer. As a retailer, you need to serve the customer when, where and how they want to be served, so you need tools which provide you flexibility to serve your customers, while also setting yourself apart from the competition. When it comes to fresh and made to order foods, convenience and grocery store menus seem to be expanding daily. Whether it's food labeling to meet the new "Common Sense Nutritional Labeling" regulations, or product/shelf labeling to track inventory more accurately, the Brother TD 2000 series printer is an amazing tool for grocers or C-stores to get the job done. The label printer can operate in either a mobile or fixed configuration, can work with a scanner (like the Datalogic QD2430), mobile device or laptop, and can print receipts or labels. For this label printer, flexibility is the name of the game!
Some key benefits this mobile labeling solution can provide you are:
Cost: Low cost solution that fits the budget of small to large merchants with free software, that comes with a 2-year out-of-the-box limited warranty which includes the print head.
Simplicity: Easy-to-use drag and drop design software, where a user scans the correct barcode and the label prints, and where menu items and ingredients can be easily updated via a simple spreadsheet.
Scalable: Can operate as a stand-alone solution with no POS database connection needed, or utilize secure Bluetooth® wireless technology or Wi-Fi® wireless modules to connect to an ERP database or POS system.
Future Proof: As label requirements change, label templates can be easily updated to meet new regulations without requiring new hardware or software updates.
