”In an ideal world, we would no longer receive questions about our product information. They would be answered directly via 2BA.”
Cees de Vries, Director of Technology, Comelit Nederland B.V.
Why did Comelit decide to join 2BA?
We joined 2BA because it saves us a lot of work. Previously, we had to fill in information for each wholesaler separately. With 2BA, we do that in one go and everyone can use that information. That makes our work a lot easier.
Why is data (quality) high on the agenda?
Good information is super important for the entire chain. We have a lot of information and want it to always be correct and up-to-date for our partners and customers. This helps us to get fewer questions and makes it easier to work with wholesalers.
Thanks to the link that 2BA has with the systems of installers and other partners in the installation market, the correct information is always complete and immediately available.
What are the expectations of your chain partners such as sales channels and processors?
The expectation is that the amount of information will continue to increase. Although we are at a high level of data quality, we expect more questions from wholesalers and therefore the market. We think that in the future we will share even more information, including the many questions around recycling and sustainability.
What was the (data) challenge and how did the ‘journey’ to the triple plus go?
The biggest challenge was to gather all the necessary information, as not everything was directly available from our parent company in Italy. We had to find out and add a lot ourselves, which is why we also freed up 1 FTE for this.
What contribution has 2BA made to this?
We developed our own software for the data management process to manage our information. If we got stuck somewhere, 2BA helped us with their knowledge and support.
What are the next steps on the agenda regarding data?
We continue to do what we always do, with sustainability in mind. We work hard to make our products and information better. Our focus is on making our packaging and products more environmentally friendly. For example, we look at how we can use less packaging for our products, such as keys, to have less waste.
We also make sure that we always have the latest and best information about our products. This means that we keep certificates up to date and continuously improve our product data.
Another important point is that we always update our product information; we add the latest features and information. This keeps our information up to date.
Our most important products have been added to the Uniform Objects Library, even though there is not much demand for it yet. We do all this to ensure that our customers and partners always have the best and most accurate information.
