EDATA is free to EDA Wholesalers thanks to the three-year commitment
On a mission to digitise the UK's electrotechnical sector
In the UK, B2B ecommerce lags behind B2C, but things are changing – and fast.
For businesses looking to bolster their ecommerce channels, access to rich, high-quality data is a strategic linchpin.
It’s why EDA Data Services Ltd was launched in early 2020.
This independent not-for-profit business, set up by the Electrical Distributors’ Association (EDA), champions initiatives to support the digitalisation of the UK’s electrotechnical sector.
It means that manufacturers and wholesalers, who are not Members or Affiliated Members of the EDA, also benefit from our work in these three areas.
Three reasons why EDA Data Services exists
1. To develop and manage the EDATA data pool
2. To drive the adoption and development of the ETIM data standard
3. To educate, support and advise businesses on data and digitalisation
