B2BE & EDA | Empowering Manufacturers to Accelerate Growth

Digital Transformation for Electrical Manufacturers

As a manufacturer, you’re under pressure to deliver faster, reduce errors, and work more efficiently with your wholesale partners. But the systems meant to support that — ERP, product databases, eCatalogues, EDI — often create just as many challenges as they solve. You might have product data spread across teams. Orders arriving in multiple formats. And customers chasing updates because something got missed along the way.

That’s where our partnership with the Electrical Distributors’ Association (EDA) can help to make it easier to connect, automate and grow. Using tools like EDATA and EITM can help you gain control of your data with the speed and accuracy expected by your customers.

What Manufacturers Are Facing Today

Here are some challenges faced within the industry:

  • ic:round-sync-problem Inconsistent or outdated product data across channels
  • flowbite:link-break-outline Disconnected systems (ERP, CRM, eCommerce, catalogue)
  • streamline-ultimate:pen-write Manual order entry and validation slowing everything down
  • bx:error Errors in part numbers, quantities, and pack sizes
  • charm:git-request-cross Pressure to modernise but no clear starting point

Automate the Way You Sell — From Order to Payment

We help manufacturers streamline their full sales cycle—from order capture to invoice reconciliation.

Here’s what you can achieve:

  • Automatically capture orders from eCatalogues, PDFs, and EDI
  • Validate all product data against EDATA (e.g. part numbers, quantities, units)
  • Flag and manage errors quickly through a single exception dashboard
  • Feed only accurate, complete orders into your ERP
  • Improve accuracy, shorten turnaround times, and reduce customer service friction
