Endacott Lighting, located in Manhattan, Kansas, has been effective in using Tag n Trak’s Query program in conjunction with "LabelWorks," a software program that runs on a personal computer and is used to print labels and barcodes. At Endacott, LabelWorks is installed on one of the two PC’s that are directly connected to the Tag n Trak system.

Query is used to create data files with item and pricing information. Endacott used LabelWorks to print this information in a variety of formats.

Display Tags – The "fixture hang tags" are 2" x 4" in size, non-adhesive and are inserted in clear vinyl "pockets." Item #, Retail Price and "Our Price" are included on the tag along with space for bulbs and blades.

Stock "Barcode" Labels – All warehouse items have small adhesive barcode labels, 1-3/4" x ½" in size. When items are received, barcode labels are printed that include the Barcode, Item # and PO #.

Lamp Tags – The Item #, Barcode and Price are printed on these 1" x 2-5/8" adhesive labels. They are attached to Endacott’s or the manufacturer’s tag and can be easily scanned at the counter.

Price Book – Special labels are printed for replacement glass and some parts which include the Vendor Code, Item #, Barcode and Description. These labels are adhered to an in-house price book containing pictures of the merchandise. The pictures and illustrations help salespeople identify the replacement glass. Once identified, the item’s barcode can be scanned to complete the sale.
