New features to automate labeling
Over the years, product labeling has become a real challenge for industries. In front of the multiplication and the complexity of the rules of labelling which are more and more specific to each category, beCPG PLM provides you with new functionalities to automate your labelling.

An optimized table format
The table format labeling now offers a 5 column table with :
- Ingredients (in descending order)
- Geographical origin
- Biological origin
- Raw quantity (%)
- Quantity after yield (%)
Moreover, the presentation is customizable, you can change the rounding or remove columns.
New rules
The rule “Display biological origins” automatically implements the biological species of the ingredients in the labeling.
“Foot note” allows you to add foot note to ingredient lists. This rule is very useful to add asterisks on organic or fair trade ingredients. A sign can be configured for each reference.
Finally, the form for editing reworked labels is now larger to improve visibility and label entry.
