Bunzl Catering Supplies launches label software

Bunzl Catering Supplies has launched an online labeling management system aimed at operators that pre-pack and display chilled food. Caterlabel Online is a fully integrated management system for the foodservice industry which allows users to prepare, create and print label information from any PC to a printer.  

Caterlabel Online provides operators with up-to-date food labeling legislation. Users can input data to create product information such as description, product name, use by date, price, packer name and address, barcode, nutrients, QUID and GDAs or traffic-lights.  

Multi-site users can protect their corporate identity by authorizing a single administrator to control and make changes to all locations simultaneously, making it easy for a head office to update information to a single or multi unit estate. Currently, each location is dependent on making these changes individually.  

Jana Lategan, foodservice co-ordinator at ISS Facility Services – Food & Hospitality Division, said: ‘We have been using Caterlabel Online for three months now, initially starting off by implementing it into one group contract and are now in the process of rolling the system out to other sites within the business. I found Caterlabel Online extremely user friendly and straightforward. Its key USP is that we can make changes from one central point, which other labeling systems have been unable to do, ensuring continuity in all units and consistency in layout and information throughout the business.  

‘Caterlabel Online is a must-have for operators requiring up-to-date information on food legislation, as it provides detailed nutritional information which meets the current legislative requirements.’  

Paul Willcocks, regional director at Bunzl Catering Supplies, said: ‘We’re delighted to have taken the initiative to create an online labeling solution that will finally take the confusion away from the constantly changing food legislation. Historically, operators have had to rely on labeling systems which require on site installation of each system and time consuming training. Caterlabel Online is the efficient, easy solution to future proof labeling.’
