TEGO: NetSuite, Transsmart and Loftware

How TEGO (formerly Solar Screen), an international specialist in window films and surface technology, fully automated its logistics labeling processes with Loftware Cloud Business by seamlessly connecting Oracle NetSuite and Transsmart.

About TEGO (formerly Solar Screen)

TEGO is a leading international company specializing in window films and surface technology. Its innovative solutions are applied worldwide in commercial buildings and in the automotive sector. The range includes solar control, decorative and safety films.

As a player in a growing international market, TEGO works closely with installers and distributors. The focus on quality and sustainability calls for a logistics process that is as accurate as it is efficient.

The challenge: manual steps in a growing distribution network

With a broad distribution network and complex international shipments, TEGO needed streamlined logistics processes. Label printing is the linchpin: every product and every shipment must be labeled correctly to ensure error-free deliveries. The pain points:

Time-consuming manual printing of labels for orders.
Different software packages that were not optimally connected.
Risk of delays in international shipments due to separate, manual steps.

The solution: Loftware Cloud Business as the connecting factor

To tackle these challenges, a solution was implemented in which Oracle NetSuite and Transsmart are seamlessly connected through Loftware Cloud Business with its Automation functionality. One central cloud environment now drives the complete labeling process.

Project goals

Full integration between Oracle NetSuite and Transsmart, with Loftware as the connecting layer.
Using Loftware Automation to trigger labels automatically from the ERP environment.
Reducing manual handling and increasing scalability.

Results achieved

Location management: printers are now directly linked to specific locations for maximum control.
Cloud migration: a successful move to one centralized Loftware Cloud Business environment.
Scan-to-print: a scanned order automatically triggers the printing of both the Printline labels and the Transsmart shipping labels on the same printer.
Stability: a robust connection between Transsmart and Loftware Automation ensures error-free labeling.

What is Transsmart SmartPrint?

Transsmart is an advanced transport management platform. In this project, Transsmart SmartPrint was used to drive carriers and printers centrally. The system automatically determines which printer at which location should generate the right labels, based on the order data from NetSuite. This eliminates the need for manual printer selection and minimizes the chance of human error.

The result: a scalable logistics system ready for international growth

Thanks to this project, TEGO benefits from a scalable logistics system that is ready for further international growth. Concrete benefits:

Less manual handling: orders automatically trigger the right label on the right printer.
Faster throughput in the warehouse: less waiting time between scanning, printing and shipping.
Error-free international shipments: shipping labels come directly from Transsmart, with the right country-specific information.
Scalability: new locations or printers are easily added to the existing Loftware Cloud environment.

Frequently asked questions about NetSuite, Transsmart and Loftware integration

What is Loftware Automation?

Loftware Automation is a function within Loftware Cloud Business that starts label print jobs automatically based on events or database changes. At TEGO, a new order in Oracle NetSuite immediately triggers the printing of the right product and shipping labels, with no operator needing to start anything by hand. The software supports SQL triggers, file watchers and REST connections, among others.

How do you connect Oracle NetSuite to Loftware Cloud Business?

Loftware Cloud Business connects to Oracle NetSuite through a secure REST or SQL connector. As soon as an order, shipment or item is created or changed in NetSuite, Loftware can immediately generate the right label with the current data, without export files or manual transfer. The connection is set up once and then uses real-time data for every print moment.

What is Transsmart SmartPrint?

Transsmart SmartPrint is part of the Transsmart transport management platform that automatically generates shipping labels based on the chosen carrier and destination. Combined with Loftware Cloud Business, Printline labels (product labels) and Transsmart shipping labels can be printed on the same printer: one scan, all the necessary labels at once.
