In 2006, purchasing organizations Ferney, Zevij and Necomij joined forces with wholesaler Destil to strengthen in the area of item management and content management. Together, they started EZ-base. Starting in the hardware and tools sector, EZ-base now also serves other sectors including the construction, paint and automotive sectors. 

 

EZ-base is a web-based platform where supply and demand of the industry come together. The database has a representative range of the most prominent suppliers. They are increasingly asked to supply their data in a variety of specific formats to the trade, which in turn spends a lot of time requesting this from all suppliers. EZ-base was created to take on this task. 

 

Thanks to the connection between EZ-base and DocTrails, the wholesaler is assured that the order is validated before it is processed by the supplier. The connection allows the supplier to follow the order process and intervene where necessary. This leads to an increase in the quality and quantity of EDI messages. 

Since 2004, 2BA manages the neutral Dutch data pool for the controlled and digital exchange of article data between supplier and customer based on the international ETIM standards. The product information of the manufacturer, importer and/or agent is also included, controlled and classified. And any additional trade information from the supplying wholesaler(s) can be linked to the manufacturer's unique product. This means that in their data pool, manufacturers, agents, importers and wholesalers themselves maintain, complete and keep up-to-date product and trade data for the entire chain. No wonder that now more than 2.300 installation and assembly companies and more than 150 wholesalers use product and trade information from the 2BA data pool on a daily basis. 

 

Data exchange between applications of PIM software partners and the 2BA data pool is tested annually against the then current criteria. The test consists of the complete and correct processing of a data file provided by 2BA. This guarantees that a data supplier with the application of the 2BA PIM Premium Software Partner is technically capable of achieving the highest score on the 2BA Data Label.
