What Loftware NiceLabel is
Loftware NiceLabel, now identified as Loftware Cloud, helps growing companies design and print labels while coordinating label and product data across suppliers, sites, and processes. Cloud Designer combines a browser-based Web Designer with a locally installed Desktop Designer connected to Control Center. Labels can use text, lines, shapes, and barcodes linked to fixed or dynamic data. Remote printing works with printers connected to a computer running Desktop Designer. Licenses cover one to ten printer seats, with each physical or virtual printer counting as one. Centralized storage, version control, approvals, role-based access, and audit trails support labeling governance. Cloud Business, Cloud Enterprise, and Cloud Compliance include Print, Trigger, and Document APIs; third-party API use requires a Developer Portal subscription key. Loftware Automation can initiate repetitive label printing without human interaction. Pricing is available on request, and a 30-day trial is listed. Loftware notes that Web Designer does not include the full feature set of Desktop Designer.
