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:
Inconsistent or outdated product data across channels
Disconnected systems (ERP, CRM, eCommerce, catalogue)
Manual order entry and validation slowing everything down
Errors in part numbers, quantities, and pack sizes
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

Solid Collaborations and Real Manufacturer Impact
Marshall-Tufflex used B2BE’s Sales Order Automation to cut down manual processing and free up their team for more strategic work. By digitising emailed purchase orders from non-EDI customers, they improved service and created space to focus on key initiatives like their 2028 Vision for increased use of recycled plastic in PVC-U trunking.
