Perfect and unique tagging is a key driver of the SATO Group’s 2024-2028 medium term management plan. By uniquely identifying items, SATO seeks to further automate identification processes for inventory tracking without manual scans and reads.

In today's fast-paced, data-driven world, businesses face increasing challenges managing intricate labelling processes while navigating regulatory complexity and addressing new compliance standards such as the Digital Product Passport (DPP). AEP Cloud addresses these needs directly, providing an innovative, no-code solution that can be swiftly implemented without extensive technical resources or disruptions to current IT infrastructure.

AEP Cloud’s unique benefits include its simplicity, speed of deployment, and holistic approach to process management around labelling and identification. Unlike traditional labelling solutions, AEP Cloud’s flexibility and scalability allow businesses of all sizes to effortlessly adapt and expand their tagging and labelling capabilities in line with evolving regulatory demands and market dynamics.

The platform introduces several advanced features to enhance operational control and efficiency:

• Interactive Price List: Enables dynamic, real-time pricing updates, improving accuracy and responsiveness to market fluctuations.
• Pay-Per-Print Application: Provides a cost-efficient and flexible printing model that significantly reduces upfront investments, ideal for both small businesses and large-scale operations.
• Comprehensive Event Management System: Offers precise tracking and identification of events, improving visibility, compliance, and reducing human error.

Businesses implementing AEP Cloud can seamlessly integrate it with their existing ERP² and WMS³ via a standardized API, ensuring data consistency and maximizing the value of their current technological investments.

To further accelerate adoption and demonstrate the value of AEP Cloud, SATO Europe has introduced a transparent subscription model featuring a flexible freemium option. As an additional benefit, the first ten customers adopting the solution will receive an exclusive 20% discount on monthly subscription fees for the first year.

This solution platform enables businesses to achieve immediate improvements in accuracy, efficiency, and cost management, establishing a foundation for sustainable, long-term growth."
