In addition to cost savings and operational benefits, customer service can also be improved.
DTG in Electrical Wholesaling - Pushing Data Downstream - http://www.ewweb.com/ - May 2008
Now comes Trade Service Corp., San Diego, (once the parent company of Trade Service Systems) into the market with a new service, Supplier Xchange, to address the same issue. Supplier Xchange, preparing to launch in July, is the first step in a new offering called Trade Service Online (TSO) that will roll out in a larger way later in the year.
Trade Service is starting with the installed base of 6,000 electrical contractors who already use its TRA-SER product and pricing database and distributors who subscribe to the Trade Service data system. It's also starting with a sales force that includes Stacey Pandeloglou, a veteran of the industry's technological side who led the original Trade Power team while at Trade Service, and now has an innovative independent rep agency called Distribution Technology Group, Virginia Beach, Va., devoted to technology companies. Trade Service is his "anchor tenant."
"Trade Service uses what it does best to support Supplier Xchange - Data content," says Pandeloglou. "They cross-match each estimating system that a contractor uses. All the estimating packages have a seed database and each of them is different from the next. The first thing we did was match that seed database to our database. Then we have two types of cross-match databases - a generic-to-branded database, and one level higher to match branded items a supplier carries, and then the Comparator database that assigns substitutes."
