2BA
A single source of truth for all product data within the construction and installation chain
Is your organization active in the construction and installation sector? Then you deal with technical and complex product specifications. With a PIM, you collect and enrich this product information from one central source. The Dutch data pool 2BA strengthens this process by storing and exchanging product data, such as technical specifications, in standardized formats across the installation chain.
Streamlined data exchange between manufacturers, wholesalers, and installers
About 2BA & ETIM
In 2BA, product data is recorded and shared using a single uniform format: the ETIM classification model. This standard ensures consistent characteristics and definitions. As a result, manufacturers, wholesalers, and installers all work with the same standardized product data.
How do PIM and 2BA reinforce each other?
Connect your PIM to 2BA and add standardized data exchange to the mix. You connect to the data pool used across the entire chain and automatically exchange product data in line with the ETIM standard.
What does 2BA deliver in practice?
- Benefits for manufacturers:
As a manufacturer, you record product data once, using the correct standard. After that, you distribute it easily across the entire market via 2BA. You avoid manual delivery for each customer and stay in control of your data. Increasingly, 2BA data is even a requirement to be included in wholesalers’ assortments. - Benefits for wholesalers:
As a wholesaler, you manage large assortments. With 2BA, you have access to standardized, high-quality data. This accelerates your e-commerce processes and improves product discoverability. You prevent inconsistencies across systems and always provide customers with accurate information, which strengthens trust and increases conversion. - Benefits for installers:
As an installer, you work with up-to-date and complete product and pricing information from a single source. By integrating smartly with your ERP, you gain real-time access to 2BA product data. This makes designing, calculating, and ordering far more efficient.
