NiceLabel Announces New ABAP Package to Optimize Labeling in SAP

Wednesday 06. November 2019 - NiceLabel, a leading developer of label design software and label management systems, launches version 2 of its ABAP package. The new version supports both SAP ECC and SAP S4HANA and enables companies to fully digitize the label quality assurance process, avoiding both labeling errors and unnecessary delivery delays.

NiceLabel’s label management system is configured to allow companies to change labels faster and print labels faster through a centralized database of templates, approval workflows and previews. This significantly reduces the workload for the IT department. The package includes an ABAP package that enables rapid system deployment and configuration through seamless integration. Organizations no longer have to configure their own code to display and authorize labels within the SAP environment, reducing development and deployment costs in the SAP environment, resulting in faster value creation.
“Many companies want to upgrade their ERP systems from SAP ECC to SAP S4/HANA because they are moving towards the cloud. With our solution, we have the best integration and the greatest know-how for both versions. With the ABAP package, companies don’t have to write their own code to preview labels in SAP. This way we can eliminate many inefficiencies that result from using IT-developed SAPscript, SmartForms or Adobe Forms,” explains Ken Moir, Vice President Marketing at NiceLabel.
He adds, “It’s not uncommon for some companies to take up to three weeks to change labels. Our current ABAP package is compatible with both SAP ECC and SAP S/4HANA. It can be integrated into the SAP system in seconds and optimize the SAP printing process in a matter of hours, giving companies a faster and more flexible production process for their labels.”
Label production in the SAP world has traditionally been a complex IT-driven process, but modern business practices require an agile solution that supports customer requirements to change labels within hours rather than weeks. Version 2 of NiceLabel’s ABAP package is quick and easy to implement and provides a fully automated best practice solution with improved performance and lower costs.
