Connect NiceLabel to Exact Online via the Barcode Scan App
NiceLabel is the professional standard for designing and printing labels in logistics and manufacturing environments. Combined with Exact Online and the Barcode Scan App, it creates a powerful solution for businesses that need high-quality, GS1-compliant barcode labels. In this article, we explain how the NiceLabel integration with Exact Online works, what the benefits are and how to get started.
Why NiceLabel with Exact Online?
Businesses using Exact Online often need professional labels that comply with industry standards. Think of GS1 labels for retail, pallet labels for logistics service providers or product labels with detailed information. NiceLabel provides the design capabilities needed for these complex labels, while the Barcode Scan App handles the connection to your Exact Online data:
- Professional label design: NiceLabel offers a visual label editor where you design labels with barcodes, text, images and variable data from Exact Online.
- GS1 compliance: Full support for GS1-128, GS1 DataMatrix, GS1 DataBar and SSCC codes. Essential for businesses supplying retail and logistics chains.
- Industrial printers: NiceLabel works with professional label printers from Zebra, Honeywell, SATO, TSC and other brands — ideal for high volumes and demanding environments.
- Automation: Labels are automatically populated with current data from Exact Online, eliminating manual entry and errors.
How the integration works
The connection between NiceLabel and Exact Online runs through the Barcode Scan App as middleware:
- Item data from Exact Online: The Barcode Scan App retrieves all item information from your Exact Online administration, including item codes, barcodes, descriptions, batch numbers and more.
- Label design in NiceLabel: You design your labels in NiceLabel Designer with variable fields that are populated with data from Exact Online. This includes item code, barcode, batch number, expiry date and weight.
- Printing via the Barcode Scan App: When you scan an item in the Barcode Scan App, the corresponding data from Exact Online is sent to NiceLabel. The label is automatically populated and printed on your industrial label printer.
GS1-compliant labels with Exact Online data
GS1 is the global standard for product identification and barcodes. Many retailers and logistics partners require GS1-compliant labels. With NiceLabel and the Barcode Scan App, you can generate these labels with data directly from Exact Online:
- GS1-128 labels: Contains Application Identifiers (AI) such as GTIN, batch number, expiry date and serial number. All data is automatically retrieved from Exact Online.
- SSCC codes: For pallet identification in the supply chain. The Barcode Scan App generates SSCC codes based on your Exact Online GS1 company prefix.
- GS1 DataMatrix: Compact 2D barcodes for small products with extended information from Exact Online, including batch and serial numbers.
- Logistics labels: Complete shipping labels with sender, recipient and barcode information from Exact Online sales orders.
