B2BE & EDA | Helping Wholesalers and Manufacturers Evolve with Confidence
Let’s Talk About Digital Transformation in the Electrical Sector
There’s been a growing focus on digital transformation across the sector.
Between new standards, pressure to automate, and your internal systems pulling in five different directions — it’s easy to feel like you’re supposed to have this all figured out already.
But the reality is: digital transformation looks different for every business — and many are still finding the right path.
That’s why we partnered with the Electrical Distributors’ Association (EDA) to help manufacturers and wholesalers make sense of what digital transformation really means, and what it could look like in your business, at your pace.
What We See Every Day
Here’s what’s really happening across the industry:
Product data chaos
Different formats, different systems, none of it aligned.
Manual workarounds
Spreadsheets, PDFs, and phone calls filling in where tech falls short.
Disconnected systems
Your eCommerce, ERP, CRM, and catalogue barely talk to each other.
Pressure to modernise
But no clear starting point.
Inconsistent customer experience
Depending on who’s ordering, where, and how.
The industry is shifting, and fast. But you don’t need to figure it out alone.
Why We Partnered with the EDA
At B2BE, we’ve been working with electrical wholesalers and manufacturers for over 25 years.
We’ve seen the challenges from both sides — and we know where things tend to break down. We joined forces with the EDA because their mission to educate and support the industry aligns perfectly with ours. Together, we help EDA members:
Understand what technologies and standards really mean in practice
Prioritise what will make the biggest impact
Build processes that support automation — not just software
Reduce manual friction, errors, and wasted time
Move forward at a pace that makes sense for your business
How We Help Our Customers
We work closely with electrical wholesalers and manufacturers to solve real problems with practical, scalable solutions. It’s not just about systems — it’s about creating meaningful improvements in how your business operates.
Here’s how we’ve helped others in your sector:
- Improved order accuracy and reduced manual intervention with Sales Order Automation
- Enabled consistent, up-to-date product data across platforms using EDATA integration
- Built intuitive eCatalogues that drive better customer experience and fewer support queries
- Streamlined invoice validation and reduced admin load with smart document workflows (EDI, PDF, XML)
And most importantly — we give clients clear, honest advice that fits their business today, not just where they hope to be in five years.
