Data Challenges -
Manufacturers
Multiple rich data format
requests
Translating rich data into
different languages
Incorrect orders placed (due to inconsistent
data)
Dash to supply BIM
data
Increased international
trade
Increased number of
product SKU’s
Ownership of own data
Growth by acquisition
Data Challenges -
Wholesalers
Mapping data to existing databases
Data re-work
Dependence on
commercial data
Data in multiple formats
No common data
standards
Desire to trade online
Need to invest in PIM
systems
Growth by acquisition
Data Challenges -
Contractors
Mapping data to existing databases
Data re-work
No central source of catalogue
data
Time wasting searches for product info
No common data
standards
Desire to purchase
online
Unable to compare technical
performance data
Need to supply BIM
on GovtProjects
What the UK industry needs
1. Single, Simple,
Standard
for rich data in the
Electrical Supply
Chain
2. Standard for
transferring data
between supply
chain partners
3. Commitment to
create & maintain
quality of data.
4. A central industry
owned database to
manage and develop
the data and
standard
The EDA believes that ETIM should be
be the standard upon which the
future of UK data is built.
