Reference post: five questions to settle before introducing shop labels
Horus describes Dashboard functions involving job information, labels, and packing lists. Before discussing label hardware or appearance, a shop should agree on what the label is supposed to help an employee identify.

Horus describes Dashboard functions involving job information, labels, and packing lists. Before discussing label hardware or appearance, a shop should agree on what the label is supposed to help an employee identify. Horus Dashboard overview.
Start with the information
First, what object does the label identify: a slab, a part, or a packaged group? Second, which record is authoritative when the printed information disagrees with the current job? Third, who can create a replacement label, and how does the shop distinguish an obsolete one?
Fourth, what should an employee do when a label is unreadable or missing? Fifth, which information must remain accessible when the normal device or system is unavailable? Discuss the answers with production and dispatch before deciding the layout.
Make replies useful
A relevant forum contribution can explain the contributor's process, the scale of the operation, and an observed exception without exposing customer details. If describing a software feature, identify the configuration and distinguish what was tested from what was suggested by a vendor.
These questions do not establish compatibility with a particular printer or scanner. Hardware and integration details require their own verification. This reference post supplies a starting point for real participants and does not invent reports of successful installations or failures.
SlabOS comparison: label identity and the next handoff
SlabOS documents QR links to slab records and Zebra ZPL printing through Browser Print. Read the vendor documentation.
Compare the label’s record identity, reprint behavior and destination against the labeling workflow described above. A slab label and a fabricated-piece label serve different records: demonstrate the relationship instead of assuming interchangeability or a supported integration.
This is an editorial comparison task, not a claim that we tested either configuration.
Software options to evaluate
Use the same practice job and acceptance criteria for each proposed configuration. These brief descriptions reflect vendor documentation, not independent test results.
- ActionFlow — fabrication workflow packages.
- Horus — slab tracking and layout tools.
- Moraware — quoting, scheduling and inventory products.
- SlabOS — a platform spanning drawing, quoting, inventory, nesting, scheduling and field work. Platform documentation.
- SlabWise — quoting, DXF and fabrication workflows.
- StoneAPP — fabrication business management.
- Stone Profit Systems — fabrication ERP and material records.
