Nos decantamos por BarTender debido a que el diseño de etiquetas en CrystalReports para SAP no cumplia con nuestras necesidades y BarTender si consiguió hacerlo.

Pros

Lo usamos para imprimir etiquetas de producto, códigos de barras, información de garantía y mucho más. En general, recomendaría este producto para un entorno de fabricación con necesidades de impresión de etiquetas.Lo tenemos integrado con SAP Busines One, ya viene predefinido para que la conexión entre SAP y BarTender sea bastante sencilla.

Cons

El sistema de licencia por impresora hace que se encarezca el producto. Por todo lo demás no tenemos queja.

Lo hemos integrado con nuestros ERP y MRP para la impresión de las etiquetas en los productos que fabricamos, y aunque no fue la única razón si peso bastante, al integrar la creación de códigos QR.La conexión con el ERP no fue demasiado compleja.

Pros

Lo elegimos por encima de otras opciones al tener ya integrado la creación de códigos QR, que era fundamental para nosotros.Como el resto de este tipo de software trabaja con códigos de barras y pueden diseñas tu etiqueta casi con cualquier formato que puedas imaginar.

Cons

Lo usamos para imprimir las etiquetas de los productos que fabricamos, tenemos varias impresoras y como es común hoy en día trabaja bajo el uso de licencias, lo que supone un desembolso importante y a tener en cuenta.
