Reduce the risks — and costs — of buying and selling.

Whether you're a manufacturer or distributor, doing transactions with bad or outdated data costs time, money, productivity, and even sales. IDEA's Industry Data Warehouse (IDW) was built to make sure that doesn't happen.

IDW replaces the cumbersome system of providing pricing and product data through catalogues, faxes, and CDs and gives manufacturers a centralized location to post data electronically. The result? Standardized, accessible, and current information, not to mention a profit increase of 0.25% to 2.0%.

Key benefits

• Eliminate product and pricing errors
• Save on labor costs by simplifying processes
• Increase profits by 0.25% to 2.0%

Proven in the electrical industry and available for use in any industry, IDW features a process that supports error-free data. Manufacturers input data from any file type, the data is verified and checked until it meets standards, and then the standardized data is delivered to authorized trading partners in the file format they prefer.
