Solutions by scale
Several sites, one label record.
Two plants making the same product should print the same label. The moment each plant keeps its own copy of the template, that stops being guaranteed and starts being something you audit for.
This is you if…
Checkable statements rather than adjectives. If most of these are true, this is the right page.
- The same product made in more than one plant, from templates each plant holds locally
- A change to a label that has to be emailed round and confirmed site by site
- Different printer estates and different line processes at different sites
- No single place to answer what a given label looked like on a given date
- Sites that solved labeling separately, and solved it differently
What makes it hard.
Local copies always diverge.
Every distributed template is a fork. Even with discipline, revisions land unevenly, and the gap between two sites' versions of one label is invisible until something compares them.
Distribution is not control.
Sending the current template to every site and asking for confirmation is a process that depends on everyone answering. The exception is the one that prints.
Sites print differently, and that is legitimate.
Different printers, different lines, different sequencing. A system that forces one printing process on every plant gets worked around locally, which puts you back where you started.
The audit crosses sites, the records do not.
When each plant keeps its own history, a network-wide question (where did this change reach, and when) has to be assembled by hand from several systems that do not agree.
What changes.
One record, no local copies.
The label exists once. Sites print from it rather than from their own version of it, which removes the divergence rather than policing it.
Change once, everywhere.
A change is made in one place with its reason captured and every affected object linked, so there is no distribution step to chase and nothing to reconcile afterwards.
Printing configured per site.
Web-based printing workflows are configured to match each plant's own production printing process, so consistency of the label does not require uniformity of the line.
One audit history across the network.
Every action attributable and timestamped in a single history, so a change can be traced across sites instead of assembled from several local records.
No installation per plant.
Printing is browser-based, so bringing a site on means users and printers rather than a local deployment to maintain and validate.
The shape that fits
What it costs.
Multiple sites under one configuration, higher user and printer counts, and several markets with destination-driven content.
Approximate, and an annual subscription. The final figure depends on configuration: sites, users, printers and markets.
Mid-tier
~$150,000per year
Several sites, more users and printers, and more than one regulator.

Questions at this scale.
Can each site keep its own printing process?
Yes, and that is the point of separating the two. The label record is shared and single; the printing workflow is configured per site to match that plant's printers, lines and sequence. Consistency of the label does not require uniformity of the production process.
What happens to a label change across sites?
It happens once. Because sites print from one record rather than from local copies, there is no distribution and confirmation step: the change is made with its reason captured and every altered object linked, and every site is printing from the changed record from that point.
Do sites need software installed?
No. RONOVA printing is browser-based, so bringing a site on is a matter of users, permissions and printers rather than a local installation to deploy, maintain and validate at every plant.
How many sites can run under one configuration?
Multiple sites under one configuration is the mid-tier shape, at approximately $150,000 a year, and a global network including contract manufacturers is the enterprise shape. Where a given estate lands depends on sites, users, printers and markets together rather than on site count alone, so it is worth pricing against your actual estate.

- Growing CompaniesStart at one site with the full control model, and grow without a re-implementation.
