Notable news for professionals handling wine commercially, including Japanese wine.
"winecode," a commercial wine management app that enables everything from wine registration to data export—and even wine list creation—will become available starting June 18.
This initiative promotes digital transformation (DX) for managing multiple wine varieties in large quantities.
Here are the details.
Background Behind the Development of "winecode"
"winecode" is provided by the Relation Design Laboratory Association.
The background for its launch was that most wine apps currently available on the web and app stores are exclusively for personal record-keeping, and there were no inventory management apps specialized for wine.
Most businesses manage inventory using spreadsheet software such as Excel, making it impossible to perform barcode-based inventory management common in retail distribution, which is far from efficient.
In addition, there were numerous issues, such as the requirement for space to use a PC when updating data, which takes up room.
Therefore, "winecode" was developed with smartphone use in mind.
It allows businesses to easily manage multiple varieties and large volumes of wine across multiple locations.
Main Features
Here is a summary of the main features of "winecode":
- Wine Registration
Not just general inventory management—it is specialized for wine, allowing registration of vintage, NV designation, purchase price, and selling price.
- List & Search
Wine name searches as well as sorting by vintage or selling price are available, making it easy to select wines based on specific criteria.
- Change History
Intuitively see who registered or changed wine information or wine counts, and when, in chronological order.
- Group Feature
Wines can be managed by group, and moving wines to another group is also simple.
- Barcode Printing & Scanning
With wine barcode printing and scanning features, there is no need to manually look up each wine every time.
- CSV Export
Managed wines can be easily exported as a CSV file, enabling quick creation of wine lists for customers.
An App Worth Watching!
With additional capabilities such as compatibility with commercial label printers, "winecode" is a must-see app for wine professionals.
It has already been adopted by French restaurants, and feedback indicates that it significantly reduces working hours and is extremely helpful.
"winecode" is an app that wine professionals should keep their eyes on.
