The AG Industry Identification System (AGIIS) Directory is a database system housing agricultural e-business data for industry subscribers. The AGIIS Customer Web Service allows Agvance users who subscribe to the AGIIS Directory access to the directory and the ability to download Grower and/or Product information. The web service returns demographic information as well as industry identifiers used in e-business transactions.
A subscription to the AGIIS Directory is required to access the information. SSI will provide the Enrollment Form to the potential subscriber. After subscribing to the AGIIS directory, the retailer will be issued a username and password to access the directory.
