WHAT IS 2BA?
The 2BA data pool contains an extensive collection of product data, including technical specifications, prices, images, and other relevant information. This data is collected and validated by various suppliers and manufacturers, ensuring users can rely on its accuracy and reliability.
2BA offers an advanced data pool specifically designed for the construction, installation, and technical sectors. It enables companies to access comprehensive product and price information from various suppliers and manufacturers. This includes technical specifications, images, and other relevant data. 2BA collects, checks, and validates this information to ensure users can trust its accuracy and reliability.
- For Suppliers: 2BA allows suppliers to integrate their product and price information directly into the data pool. This means suppliers can synchronize their data with 2BA, making current and accurate information available to their customers. This integration enables suppliers to effectively manage their product data and keep their information consistent within the 2BA network. For suppliers, this ultimately saves time; they only need to provide their data once to the 2BA data pool, avoiding the need to create different export formats for each customer of their data.
- For Customers: On the customer side, companies can integrate their internal systems, such as MDM or PIM software or procurement platforms, with 2BA. This allows them to seamlessly exchange data with the data pool and receive product and price information from suppliers. This integration enables customers to work more efficiently, as they have access to consolidated and up-to-date data that they can use directly for quotes, procurement processes, and other business activities. Customers also save significant time because, with 2BA’s quality assurance, they do not need to check the data for inconsistencies, making data enrichment easier.
- For Consumers: Consumers also benefit from the data push and pull process via the 2BA data pool. Consumers will have a consistent and accurate view of the product they are looking for across the various channels where they consult product data today. When end consumers have the correct product information, it automatically leads to more sales and fewer returns.
2BA AND MDM
Master Data Management is a strategic approach to managing an organization’s key data, also known as master data. It involves creating, maintaining, and distributing reliable and consistent data across various systems and business processes. MDM ensures that companies have a single source of truth for their essential data, streamlining operational processes and enabling better decision-making.
The goal of MDM is to improve the quality, accuracy, and consistency of data, eliminate duplicate data, and ensure that all stakeholders within an organization have access to the same reliable information. By applying MDM, companies can increase their efficiency, reduce risks, and gain valuable insights from their data.
2BA plays a crucial role in MDM by providing a reliable source of data for companies in the construction, installation, and technical sectors. By accessing the 2BA data pool, organizations can efficiently manage their master data and rely on the accuracy and reliability of the data.
INTEGRATING 2BA INTO YOUR MASTER DATA MANAGEMENT
Integrating 2BA into your MDM allows your organization to make optimal use of the product information available in the 2BA data pool. This integration enables companies to centrally manage and synchronize their master data with 2BA’s data, resulting in a consistent and reliable data set for their business processes and ultimately for the consumer.
When implementing an MDM strategy, companies can integrate data from the 2BA data pool with their internal systems, such as ERP software packages or custom business applications. This ensures that 2BA’s product information is directly available within the company’s familiar environment.
THE INTEGRATION OF 2BA AND MDM OFFERS SEVERAL BENEFITS:
- Efficiency: By seamlessly integrating 2BA data with an organization’s MDM system, companies can centralize and simplify their data management. This reduces the time and effort needed to manually enter or update data, leading to improved operational efficiency.
- Accuracy and Consistency: The integration ensures that 2BA data aligns with an organization’s internal master data. This guarantees that all stakeholders have access to the same consistent and reliable information, preventing errors and inconsistencies.
- Real-Time Updates: The integration allows organizations to benefit from real-time updates of product and price information in the 2BA data pool. This ensures they always have access to the most current data, which is essential for making informed decisions and providing up-to-date information to customers.
- Data Exchange and Synchronization: With 2BA, suppliers and customers can share their data in a standardized way. This ensures smooth exchange and synchronization of product and price information between different parties in the value chain. By using common data standards, data can be efficiently shared and integrated, preventing duplicate work and inconsistencies.
