The Electrical Distributors’ Association (EDA) and Affiliate Member Agathos Systems Ltd have announced the integration of the award-winning EDATA data pool and the Chalice ERP system.

EDA Wholesalers and branches already benefit from free access to the EDATA data pool, but this latest technical connection gives Chalice customers centralised access to rich product information, images and PDF product data sheets for thousands of products from leading manufacturers.

Richard Appleton, Head of Digitalisation at the EDA said, “Making the rich product information that’s inside EDATA available in other software systems is the next phase of our journey. Product data is a valuable resource and it makes sense to maximise its usage to grow business.

“Creating systems that talk to each other means wholesalers benefit from smoother, quicker and more efficient working processes and manufacturers benefit because it gives them extra brand visibility. The link saves wholesalers time and effort, and arms staff with the highest quality product information and downloadable PDF data sheets to provide to customers in quotations and for O&M manuals.

“Congratulations to Agathos for seizing the opportunity and making it happen.”
