advantage in giving their wholesaler customers access to high-quality product information and imagery in a central, time-saving hub. Richard Appleton, head of digitalisation at the EDA, said: “Whilst EDATA can be accessed by wholesalers as a stand-alone data hub, its rich data and images are also feeding other software platforms on which UK wholesalers depend, such as ERP systems, e-commerce and e-catalogues. “Wholesalers need access to a critical mass

They need deep, rich information that’s technically complete; data that’s Gold standard. It is why all manufacturer subscribers to the data pool benefit from a comprehensive package of support, advice and training so they know exactly what their data goal is and how to achieve it.”
