2BA Integration

What is 2BA Integration?

The 2BA connection is an end-to-end application from Bluace for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central. Thanks to the extensive information available, it optimizes article management. Technically oriented organizations purchase directly from Business Central via the 2BA Data Pool without leaving the BC environment. The time-consuming purchasing process is automated, and you are always aware of the latest changes, such as product specifications, prices, and expected delivery times, directly from your service and maintenance software.

Optimal article management with the 2BA data pool

2BA is the neutral, central data pool for the controlled and digital exchange of technical product and article data for the Service & Installation industry. This article data and suppliers are always quickly available in a uniform article database, meaning long searches in different catalogs, lists, and webshops are a thing of the past. In addition, the manufacturer’s product data is constantly checked and classified in the data pool according to the international ETIM guidelines.

Functionalities of the 2BA link

The use of the 2BA link has several advantages. Thanks to the 2BA link, you can search for products from the 2BA Unified directly from your Business Central environment. Subsequently, all product-related information is displayed in Business Central, such as the various suppliers with corresponding prices, article numbers, and current delivery times. In addition, you have insight into the product’s current technical specifications, so you can immediately assess whether the item meets the requirements. For further technical specifications, a URL is always available on the manufacturer’s website for any manuals and detailed technical information. Furthermore, an image of the requested items is always shown for an additional visual check.

This ensures that items are always ordered on time for the most favorable price.
