One day before Eurobike 2018 starts, Bike Europe organizes its annual Conference at Messe Friedrichshafen. On Saturday 7 July keynote speakers as well as Practical Cases and a Q&A session will address the topic of what’s ‘Behind the Scenes of Online Sales’ in the bicycle sector.
Allowing bar-coding and automation
One of the keynote presentations at this Conference is by Dutch DST. This stands for “Digitale Samenwerking Tweewielerbranche” or Digital Cooperation Two-Wheeler Industry. Here the development of their uniform product coding system will be explained. Next to that the DST presentation will of course also delve deep into the benefits their uniform product coding for 180,000 products from over 40 suppliers; including all the big ones, is bringing.
Uniform product coding allows for bar-coding and with that for automation of distribution processes on various levels in the multi-branded bike sector. DST’s uniform product coding is now in use at dealers in Holland and Belgium. They use these codes for their online presentations, cash register and shop systems. The Dutch uniform bicycle product coding standard is now ready for the European markets and celebrates its EU launch at the Bike Europe Conference.
