Smooth it labels its products using Brother's label printer 

Initially, the company’s Smooth it bars were in the middle of food stores. They used the stores’ own fruit scales to print out labels. The operation expanded with a food preparation kitchen, and the company landed new stores as customers. They needed a labelling solution.

Smooth it started discussions with various companies. Teemu Kolkka and Sami Kivelä from Brother helped the company to design its label from start to finish: where the contact details, EAN code and contents should be positioned. The labels can be created the day before for the smoothie, raw oat and ginger shot cans.

“The TD-2130N label printer has streamlined our work because we can now date the label the day before, which makes work easier during the morning shift. The evening shift can prepare the labels, which makes work the next day go much faster”, explains Irina Nurmi, company owner, Smooth it.

Multiple solutions - one brand

P.M. Olsen has a large customer base and aftermarket and prints a lot on a daily basis, so it’s important for the company to know the price of its printing. This information is easily accessible with the Brother MPS solution. At the same time, it ensures that the car dealership automatically receives printer consumables before it runs out. So not only does P.M. Olsen maintain a better overview of its costs, the company no longer needs to think about purchasing consumables or holding them in stock.

“We chose a single brand overall because we value having long-term relationships. We’ve known Connie at Brother for many years, which is why we chose Brother for our printing and scanning as well as for our tyre labelling solution.”

Tonny Rasmussen, CFO, P.M. Olsen

OK Auto Oy opted for a functioning solution for labelling of tyres

The large number of tyre changes during a hectic summer and winter tyre season presents a challenge for O.K. Auto Oy. The information on the manually labelled tyres could vary and the differing styles of handwriting resulted in uncertainty and extra work. Brother listened to customers' requirements and suggested a label solution for tyre labelling. It can also be connected to the existing Excel database. O.K. Auto Oy has now been using the label printer for two seasons, the summer and winter tyre season, and it has worked well. O.K. Auto Oy recommends the solution to others too.

"Brother's label printer is a highly economical choice, as we avoid monthly fees and continuous costs". Jussi Tuominen, Service Manager, O.K. Auto Oy, Kouvola.

Truck driver Peter Björk was supposed to change to a newer tablet for this truck. Simultaneously, he suggested the previous mobile printer to be changed as well. “I was not fully happy about former mobile printer.

Smart printing at construction site makes work procedure easier

Alasen Rakennus is a Finnish construction company that was looking for solutions to enhance the work procedure and share information in a smarter way at the construction site. The number of printouts was reduced by introducing a Brother A3 color inkjet printer, which supports cloud services.

Blueprints and working instructions are now stored in a cloud service, and printed only on demand. Brother's automatic supply deliveries also help the workers as they only have to focus on their tasks as work is never paused due to empty ink cartridges.

"We are able to focus on our own work, because the printer will take care of itself and order the supplies automatically", says Ville Niinimäki, Work Manager, Alasen Rakennus Ltd.
