Provide the most optimal product data for your relations

Structured and complete product and trade item data are today’s oil in the chain of almost every industry. It is increasingly important to have high-quality data. This data flow starts with the the manufacturer. When this data is not complete, up-to-date, and uniformly available, it affects the efficiency of various processes throughout the entire chain. It is no wonder that as a manufacturer, you are increasingly evaluated by your relationships and end-users based on this.

Data sharing trough via 2BA helps

Fortunately, you have chosen to make your data centrally available through one platform: the 2BA datapool. As you know, 2BA works through the uniform classification standard ETIM and the current exchange formats DICO and BMEcat 2005 ETIM V5.0. These standards meet the diverse data needs of your relationships. Complete and accurate data is crucial for the visibility and position of your product and company within the digital catalog of your reseller(s). To support you in this, 2BA offers various tools such as processing reports, data radars, and of course the Label Data Quality.

Your data quality in 2024

To prepare your organization for future data needs and requirements, at the request of wholesalers*, we will launch the Label Data Quality Wholesaler 2024, in addition to the regular Label Data Quality on June 1, 2023. This label contains the standards that will definitively apply as of January 1, 2024. For some time now, 2BA’s feedback ticket system has provided a way for your customers to indicate when data is incorrect, and this feedback will eventually be included in the report.

End of Import PAB and INSBOU003

Obsolete standards do not allow for a complete dataset that meets the Label Data Quality Wholesaler. Therefore, as of May 1, 2025, it will no longer be possible to offer datasets in the exchange formats PAB and INSBOU003.
