In a Q&A published August 4, 2026 by Manufacturing Dive, Loftware CEO Jim Bureau described Loftware Connect, an AI-enabled cloud system for coordinating packaging and labeling data between manufacturers, suppliers, plants and logistics providers. Bureau said some customers maintain 60,000 to 70,000 label templates, and that the system lets users search existing templates for a given customer standard or generate a new conforming template with AI, compressing a process he described as typically taking four to five months per product. He also said Loftware Connect reconciles item-level production and pack data against advance shipping notifications, citing automotive cases where a notice for 50 units arrives with 30 or the wrong mix. His recommended first step for manufacturers was to move labeling systems to the cloud and treat the problem at enterprise rather than local level.
