Altvin and Wines by Geoff Hardy were co-nominated to demonstrate the impact of a solution for specifying and managing bottling and packaging with real-time supply chain collaboration.

Wines by Geoff Hardy uses Altvin, a winery packaging and inventory program that brings all the elements of its packaging process together into one location on the cloud.

Here, everyone inside the business can view, interact and communicate the product packaging requirements and history in order to manage wine product SKUs and product lifecycle.
