New  affiliated member, Toolbank, is the latest leading brand to announce their sponsorship of EDATA, the electrotechnical sector’s data pool which is managed by the Electrical Distributors’ Association. They join 28 other industry leaders, a mix of manufacturers and wholesalers of various sizes, that have pledged their support to the data pool which offers EDA Wholesalers and branches free access to information and images on hundreds of thousands of products sold through the supply chain.

Stuart Woods, National Accounts Manager at Toolbank, said “We are delighted to take a leading role in the EDATA data pool and give EDA wholesalers easy access to rich accurate product data that helps them deliver exemplary customer service and increased sales whether that’s across the trade counter, through tenders and submittals, or e-commerce.”

Margaret Fitzsimons, CEO at the EDA, said “Toolbank’s sponsorship is evidence of their commitment to the wholesale channel. It also means they gain a place on the EDATA Steering Group alongside the other sponsors, giving them a voice in how the data pool evolves. We appreciate their commitment and look forward to working with their team.”

EDATA continues to grow with over 100 leading brands signed up to share high-quality product data with electrical wholesalers. Every EDA wholesaler has free access to the data pool where they can search and find answers to technical questions, download product data in bulk to populate web sites and other business systems, and generate PDF product data sheets in a consistent format for use with customer quotes, tenders, and O&M manuals.
