Upgrade for label printing software from eXtra4
Preview of the upcoming major release win4
Birkenfeld, 01.02.2024. The name says it all: "eXtra4-win4" - this will be the official title of the new software version for the Windows operating system. With the upcoming major release, eXtra4-win3, the label printing application that has been in use in the jewellery and watch industry since 2015, will undergo an extensive update. The modular application from eXtra4 Software + Service GmbH, based in Birkenfeld near Pforzheim, will offer a high degree of customisability for item data in its higher editions. The subsidiary of label manufacturer Ferdinand Eisele will be providing initial insights into the planned innovations during the Inhorgenta trade fair from 16 to 19 February in Munich. Due to the technology transfer to hall C2, interested show visitors can now find eXtra4 there at stand 214 in aisle B.
More than just a new design
The first glance at the user interface of eXtra4-win4 makes it clear: it has been extensively modernised. The new main version is fresh and contemporary in terms of colour and design. But the innovations are by no means just cosmetic and ergonomic. The functions of the higher editions will open up new perspectives, especially for users who previously maintained their items in Excel lists. They can print labels directly with eXtra4-win4, without data transfer. Export to CSV format is not necessary. The upgrade provides users with features that allow them to map the complexities of their individual item stock in more detail than is possible in a spreadsheet, and also to document it in lists using a professional report generator.
Label printing remains software core
The central function of eXtra4-win4 continues to be label printing. All editions of the software - currently seven - offer this, albeit to varying degrees. In accordance with the modular software structure consisting of elements that build on each other, the range of functions increases from one edition to the next. The spectrum reaches from the single-user solution for printing a single label in a defined design to the multi-user solution with an unlimited number of controllable printers and usable designs for printed labels in any number of copies.
A more powerful database as solid foundation
The PostgreSQL database forms the basis of the new software architecture for eXtra4-win4. It stores label data for individual items, as was previously the case in eXtra4-win3. Its scalability allows it to be used on even the smallest computers and is still able to provide secure data access for several users simultaneously. The modular architecture of eXtra4-win4 prevents users from being confronted with options that do not meet their needs. Users are guided step by step in the software on how to structure their data: starting with the creation of their own item groups through to the data required for a proper inventory. There is now an independent tool for setting, maintaining and backing up the database, the eXtra4-win4-Manager. ...
