Loftware Product Range Rebranding
Loftware introduces Loftware Cloud, a single converged labeling solution, designed to effectively cater to the demands of the entire market. By harnessing the power of combined technologies from NiceLabel, Spectrum, and eventually Smartflow and Prisym360, it is a robust platform that conquers diverse supply chain complexities and empowers business growth.
Loftware is streamlining the product portfolio, making it more categorized and easier to understand.
All editions (plans) are offered in a software-as-a-service model with a cloud-based dashboard (Loftware Control Center) and Web Designer. You use the dashboard as the main interaction point to oversee the design and print activities, define user permissions, manage your printer infrastructure, and review the history of print and audit events (abilities dependent on the selected edition).
There are the following production editions (plans) available in the software-as-a-service model:
- Loftware Cloud Designer
- Loftware Cloud Essentials
- Loftware Cloud Business
- Loftware Cloud Compliance
- Loftware Cloud Enterprise

With all editions, you can design and print your label templates using any modern browser independent of the operating system using the built-in Web Designer. You can edit your labels in the comfort of your browser. However, if you prefer to use the on-premise label designer, you can also open the same label in Loftware Desktop Designer.
With Loftware Cloud Essentials or above, you can design form applications to control your data collection or print processes. You can run your form applications in the Loftware Print application or in Loftware Web Client thin client. Forms simplify label printing for label operators by removing technical details and focusing on the custom UI. You can also integrate label print into the existing business processes. You can use Loftware Automation to interface with existing systems and obtain the data for label templates. The integrations allow for two-way communication. The integration capabilities depend on the selected edition.
Loftware Cloud Compliance is a product suitable for companies operating in regulated environments and needing support for multi-tier architecture (with Dev/QA/Prod stages), data synchronization, extended history data retention, and a compliance release schedule.
Loftware Cloud Enterprise caters to more demanding enterprise customers that need multi-site deployment, multi-tier architecture, extended history data retention, a more responsive system, a hybrid installation option (with the on-premise Control Center for data caching), and with support for a large number of printers.
