For some time now, the company has been using 2BA to exchange product data with almost all suppliers and make it available to its clients. Involving the maritime sector is a logical step for them, and they wholeheartedly support OMDS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2018In the middle of the chain, we, as wholesalers, are responsible for adding the article information to the 2BA database. However, we depend for some of that information on what our suppliers provide. So everyone in the chain has to play their part\u2019, says Maurice van der Leeden, Manager Product Information Management at Technische Unie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For some years, 2BA has been developing the Data Label, which clearly demonstrates what the completeness of the necessary information means to various users in the chain. The label is updated annually for wholesalers. That\u2019s hardly surprising, when you remember that regulatory pressures increase every year. And with that, the need for data in the whole chain grows too.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/omds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/TU-1024x637.jpg\" alt=\"Technische Unie, in the middle of the data-exchange chain\" class=\"wp-image-1287\" width=\"403\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/omds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/TU-1024x637.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/omds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/TU-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/omds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/TU-768x478.jpg 768w, https:\/\/omds.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/TU.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 403px) 100vw, 403px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>\u2018Naturally, we don\u2019t want to saddle our suppliers with unnecessary work, but it\u2019s clear in practice that what we ask for really is necessary. Often not for us, but for all parties after us in the chain\u2019, Van der Leeden continues. \u2018Luckily, more and more suppliers now understand that complete, correct and prompt product information is no longer of secondary importance. And it\u2019s certainly not an impossible task, given that big players such as TKF achieve the maximum score for their entire range.\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van der Leeden is not yet satisfied with Technische Unie\u2019s current score. \u2018Unfortunately, we\u2019re not achieving a single plus for the maritime sector on the Data Label at present, but that will change soon. In order to provide our clients in the maritime sector with enough information, we have analysed why we are currently achieving not a single plus on the label. In most fields, the conclusion was simple: the data is not available in the current exchange format. For that reason, we have initiated a project for exchanging data between Technische Unie and 2BA through the DICO standard. That way, it\u2019s simple to make the information that\u2019s available in our systems available to our clients too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Technische Unie expects to have the missing fields available by this summer, and subsequently display the first improvements on the Data Label. \u2018Our goal is naturally to achieve three pluses. To do that, we really need each other in the chain. Above all, let\u2019s keep each other on our toes\u2019, concludes Van der Leeden.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a wholesaler, Technische Unie is positioned in the middle of the data-exchange chain.
