These services are primarily provided for manufacturers, agents, importers, distributors, wholesalers, construction and installation companies, machine manufacturers and system integrators.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to the Internet, 2BA now offers the possibility not only of converting complete suppliers\u2019 catalogues but also, on the basis of ETIM product classification, of searching for products in a targeted fashion, selecting those who supply them and taking over their product data.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Naturally, 2BA is not resting on its laurels, but already focusing on other sectors and services too. 2BA\u2019s future strategy has been developed on the basis of the following themes:&gt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#Improve\">Improve<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Expand\">Expand<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Intensify\">Intensify<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Renew\">Renew<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#Connect\">Connect<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4>Improve<\/h4>\n<p>The intention here is to be continually involved in raising the quality of the product and trade data supplied in the 2BA database for the customers to the highest standard possible. For example, 2BA is now making this quality transparent for each supplier with the help of a graphic \u2018radar view\u2019 and by being set against the specific needs of certain target groups as defined with the <strong>2BA Data Label<\/strong>. In other words: The better the product data supplied meets the wishes of the different kinds of buyers, the higher the label score. This score is expressed per component in three categories: +, ++ and +++ (the maximum score).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4>Expand<\/h4>\n<p>By expanding, more or less the same product data are applied more broadly. Manufacturers who invest a lot of time in their product data consequently get more for their money<\/p>\n<h5 style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">Belgian market<\/h5>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fesah.be\/nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" alignright size-full wp-image-1173\" style=\"margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; float: right;\" src=\"http:\/\/2ba.wimwillems.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/FESAH.png\" alt=\"OMDS\" width=\"167\" height=\"98\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">2BA now makes its data distribution platform available to the Belgian market too, under the name of InstallData. By doing so, 2BA facilitates the data pool for the FESAH (Federation of Sanitary and Heating).

As mentioned in the introduction, 2BA offers its services mainly to installation companies, machine manufacturers and systems integrators. In addition to a number of new markets (see above), 2BA continues to further explore its familiar environments through such platforms as the <strong>Uniforme Objecten Bibliotheek (UOB) <\/strong>being a uniform CAD objects library.
