E-Xact Helps Travis Perkins Access Product Info

Travis Perkins to give customers access to E-Xact Online, an industry-standard data format with many benefits to builders merchants, manufacturers and suppliers to the construction industry. Maintaining reliable and up-to-the-minute data for its staff and customers is of paramount importance to Travis Perkins, a business justly proud of its service and customer relations.

The company has confirmed its on-going support for e-Xact Online, with a campaign to sign up new suppliers and to enhance the quality of information from existing suppliers. Members have access to information from hundreds of suppliers, covering more than 300,000 separate products, as well as images, health and safety data and pricing. Travis Perkins has been a member of the e-Xact community since its inception in 1999.

"The e-Xact service has come a long way in ten years and has managed to increase it's relevance to our business" says Sean Sinclair, Head of Data Management at the company. "The people at e-Xact are always looking to add new features, giving us and our suppliers more reasons to use the service and providing an ever increasing supply of information".

As well as using e-Xact's product data sets in its internal systems, Travis Perkins makes the information available via its web sites and at point of sale. Live data is held on over 150,000 products, many with images, COSHH data and technical files the majority of which are sourced from e-Xact. Sean is particularly impressed with the additional rich content available to e-Xact users, such as COSHH data, technical files and product images.

"More and more, our customers require us to supplyCOSHH information on the products we distribute and we push that burden back onto our suppliers and manufacturers". "With e-Xact, they only have to provide that data once, so suppliers who are not e-Xact users are at a distinct disadvantage". Using e-Xact means that it is easier to provide the 24/7 data access required by Travis Perkins' systems, in a consistent format using the same standards throughout.
