About Us

WSN's FORT System offers small and medium-sized businesses affordable, powerful, and high-quality e-business solutions, and provides an enterprise class web-based solution for wine and spirits producers, wholesalers, retailers, etailers, and any company that ships products to its customers. WSN simplifies the process of shipping, managing and routing orders, and enables easy, administrable customization.

Because of the various complexities surrounding the distribution and sale of alcoholic products, these products--and wine in particular--became a core initial focus for WSN. To help navigate these complexities, WSN developed the FORT technology system (Fulfillment, Ordering, Reporting & Tracking) to enable efficient, compliant fulfillment and distribution. WSN's suite of applications is specifically designed to address the challenges of distributed commerce, and can aggregate, manage, monitor and analyze orders and inventory distributed across multiple business units around the world.

WSN was founded in 1998 by experienced executives in trade and regulated commerce, IT and Systems Integration, and brand management and marketing. By focusing each of these disciplines on the wine industry, we have created a comprehensive ecommerce platform that allows users to focus on what they do best: make and sell great products.

WSN has also created 800wine.com, an international network of wine retailers and specialty goods suppliers. In addition, WSN is a core member of the WorldShipNet alliance, which offers three-tier compliant, direct-to-consumer delivery services in several states which forbid interstate shipments of alcohol to consumers.
