B2BE & EDA | Supporting Electrical Wholesalers Through Smart Automation

Digital Transformation for Wholesalers

Digital transformation isn’t a buzzword in wholesale — it’s a real opportunity to improve accuracy, efficiency, and service. But it’s not always straightforward. As a wholesaler, many find themselves patching gaps with manual workarounds between siloed systems, inconsistent product data, and rising customer expectations.

That’s why we partnered with the Electrical Distributors’ Association (EDA) — to help electrical wholesalers tackle these challenges with the right tools, support, and experience.

What Wholesalers Are Facing Today

Here are some challenges faced within the industry:

  • carbon:document-import Supplier invoices arriving via post, email, fax, and EDI — all needing processing
  • Matching purchase orders to goods received and invoices taking up days of staff time
  • Inconsistent product data causing downstream issues
  • eCommerce, ERP, and financial systems running in silos
  • Costly delays and disputes from incorrect or incomplete documentation

Streamline the Way You Buy — From Order to Payment

We help wholesalers simplify and automate the full procure-to-pay cycle — from placing purchase orders to matching invoices and paying suppliers.

Here’s what you can achieve:

  • Automatically receive and digitise supplier invoices (EDI, PDF, or paper)
  • Match invoices with purchase orders and goods received (three-way matching)
  • Identify and resolve mismatches through a single exception dashboard
  • Feed only verified, accurate invoices into your ERP
  • Cut processing times, errors, and back-and-forth with suppliers

Solid Collaborations and Real Manufacturer Impact

Rexel UK had already been working with B2BE to digitise incoming invoices — whether by EDI, email, or fax — using B2BE’s Document Digitisation Process (DDP).

When they needed a smarter way to validate supplier invoices against what was ordered and received, they turned to B2BE to automate their three-way matching process.The result? Faster, more accurate processing — and an accounts payable function that supports the wider business, not slows it down.
