ISWN overview in three steps: Summary - step 1 - step 2 - step 3

 


The ISWN system is a unique enabler for the wine and retail industry. Here's three reasons why you should consider using the ISWN code and system:

step 1:  

not every wine has a GTIN/UPC or EAN barcode, but every wine has an ISWN code .. with internet search engines you can find every wine, and web services make it of practical use for the whole world

step 2:  

the ISWN code is more than compatible with, it adds genuine value by integrating different existing barcodes specifically for wine: it maps codes to eachother and connects code systems. Indeed the different barcode and category classification systems give a variety of known problems for wine, which is why the wine industry still has a lot of problems compared to other industries. The ISWN code addresses and solves these problems.

step 3:  

the ISWN system provides rich content: a source of all types of information about producer and product - and in the ISWN system, this information is owned by and managed by the wine producer itself so it is complete and remains up to date


And there is more; this is an open system, truly global in scope, designed for the internet age and 21st century, implemented based on industry standards, and .. operational and working today!
