International multi-channel distributor C-Log has chosen Citizen printers to provide shipping labels for the French clothing brand Morgan
Citizen CL-S700R printers will be used to carry out a distribution task that requires the labelling of approximately five million items shipped per year to 271 stores in Europe and Asia.
The CL-S700R printer was chosen for several reasons but primarily for its compatibility with the C-Log information system and warehouse management software, as Jean-Francois Gentile, logistics engineering manager for C-Log, explains. “The dual emulation Datamax/Zebra of the CL-S700R printer was decisive in our choice,” Jean-Francois says. “This dual emulation has facilitated the implementation of the printers and their rapid integration into our computer systems. The multilingual option was also an essential criterion due to the distribution specificity of Morgan. In fact, over 40 per cent of all POS are located abroad. Another major advantage is the space gained at the workstation thanks to its small footprint.”
CL-S700 models are designed for ease of use, even in environments where space is limited. The most common operations are accessible from the front of the printer, which avoids having to move the unit to load media or switch access, and paper or even tape can be loaded swiftly.
The printers are specially designed for use in industrial environments, and are equipped with solid metal housings. The CL-S700R can print up to 250mm per second, offering a clear and clean paper path that increases printing efficiency and output in all kinds of applications. Because of the many innovative characteristics of the CL-S700R, it only takes 10 seconds to change the media. The time required for changing the support and ribbons is up to 10 times faster than comparable printers on the market.
Logistics equipment is essential in the performance of C-Log’s logistics services and the company attaches great importance to its choice of partners. The labelling of packages to be shipped is an integral part of the order preparation process and printing must be reliably flawless in order to avoid mistakes and wasted time.
“The CL-S700R’s reliability, robustness and ease of maintenance validated our decision to choose this printer, which has all of the required qualities. We are extremely pleased with our partnership with Citizen, who we can always rely on,” concluded Jean-Francois Gentile.
