Codesoft is easy to use and also to customize. We use it every day to label all of our manufactured part boxes before shipping them out.

The only con that I can think of is aligning the text boxes on the label format screen sometimes takes patience to get them lined up with other text boxes.

### Codesoft Ease of Use

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Jeffrey S.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Pharmaceuticals
- Company size: 10000+ employees
- Product usage: Used daily for more than 2 years
- Reviewed: October 2019
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

Overall, the software works for us. Especially with the amount of labels we print daily. I highly recommend it for regular lab usage.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The software worked for us since it was deployed back in 2007. We've been using a Brady desk printer for our labs labelling needs. Mostly for glassware labelling. Now we've come to use it for our HPLC columns, GC columns, and other lab instruments as well.

#### Cons

Sometimes the software does not work with new pc updates. We lose some functionality after the update and we end up asking for assistance from our local IT to update the software as well. And that usually fixes the issue.

#### Reasons for choosing CODESOFT

Was actually recommended to us due to the amount of labels we make daily and the type of material our label needs to be. We usually put on glassware's where in some instances it gets in contact or soiled with the product. The label stays on and the information does not wash off. Overall, it's the best for our site.

We are able to connect our label template to our ERP system in order to make labels dynamic which cuts down on the number of individual labels that need to be stored in our system.

Also, the software will close itself while we are in the middle of printing or designing a label that causes changes to not be saved. Anything not saved will have to redone and then saved.

Codesoft makes it so easy to create new formats and share them with production for use. What you see in the format is exactly what you get. Very easy to pull information out of ERP system into format fields at time of print so 1 format can be used for multiple products.

Our experience with Codesoft has been positive and beneficial to our business. The software has allowed us to meet customer requests for new features and opportunities within our labeling process that we would have been unable to integrate without it.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 4/5
- Customer support: 4/5

#### Pros

We like the ability to integrate with new and existing systems. Codesoft allows us to incorporate weights into our labeling as well as streamline the labelling process and reduce errors in printing. The ability to develop forms that drive a process and minimize errors is also an option that makes the software beneficial.

#### Cons

Exporting data from the printing process is not as easy or intuitive as other features. Utilizing a partner network for sales has made getting answers to questions difficult at times. Lack of documentation or at least an intuitive means to search and find it. Lack of a user forum in order to learn from other users of the software.
