Loftware, a leader in Enterprise Labeling and Artwork Management, has teamed up with SATO Corporation. SATO has gained recognition for its innovations in auto-ID and labeling technologies. Together, they are launching a cloud-connected label printing solution for AEP-enabled SATO printers. This launch supports the trend toward cloud systems. The partnership will simplify operations and improve supply chain responsiveness.
The joint solution links Loftware Cloud with SATO’s cloud printers. This removes the need for traditional printer drivers. This simplifies IT management. You won’t need to install, troubleshoot, or update software. Ongoing support is also unnecessary. This change reduces maintenance costs by a large margin. Users can print straight from any PC browser. This gives them the flexibility to scale operations without technical limits. Approved label templates are available from any location with strong security measures. This ensures that label output is consistent and compliant across all operations. The platform makes user administration easy. It allows for quick onboarding and approvals without needing license keys. This boosts operational efficiency.
The collaboration supports a broad range of industry applications. This includes making sure suppliers follow rules with accurate labeling and RFID tags. It also means improving in-plant labeling for better process control. We need to meet retail labeling standards and assist with smooth 3PL integration.

Loftware Cloud helps teams and partners, like suppliers and packagers, label consistently. This means that the entire supply chain stays in sync. It works well with on-premise and cloud systems like ERP, WMS, and PLM. This integration makes processes smoother, leading to better accuracy and efficiency.
SATO’s cloud-connected printers complement the platform with easy installation and mobility. Connecting a LAN cable activates the printer, which allows it to operate right away. This plug-and-play approach makes it easy to move devices as operational needs evolve.
“Loftware and SATO have built a trusted partnership over more than 25 years, united by a shared commitment to innovation,” noted Denis Stojanoski, Senior Alliance Program Manager at Loftware. “Together, we are shaping the future of labeling—delivering solutions that offer unmatched flexibility, scalability, and operational value.”
Before, the two companies worked together to create an advanced RFID encoding and logging system. This system helps meet strict traceability needs. This new initiative focuses on solving specific business challenges with custom solutions.
