Working with a 2BA integration

Since 2004, 2BA has managed a neutral data pool for product information from manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, and suppliers. This data pool is based on the international ETIM standard, ensuring that product information is carefully verified and classified.

• More efficient inventory management: Your stock is always based on reliable and detailed data.

• Seamless integration with BarTrack Professional.

• Smart filtering with ETIM classification: Find exactly what you need faster and more efficiently.

• Order from 160+ wholesalers: Increase your flexibility and options.

• Overview of available wholesalers: After searching for a product, you immediately see which wholesalers offer it. This overview is available on the product detail page (click the blue eye icon next to the item).

Manage your inventory with a 2BA integration

A useful feature of the BarTrack integration is the ability to generate barcodes for your inventory locations. This makes it easy to identify and track items in your warehouse. By printing and attaching barcodes to your stock locations, you can quickly and accurately check items in and out. This helps you keep track of stock levels, process orders efficiently, and minimize errors.

Setting up an inventory location:

1. Create an inventory location (if not already done). An inventory location is required to store and manage products. Go to ‘My Inventory’ in BarTrack and add a new location (see Add inventory location).

2. Search for an item via the BarTrack search bar. Enter a keyword or product number. Thanks to the 2BA integration, BarTrack searches through a huge product database (over 4.5 million items). You’ll see a list of results that match your search. Select the correct item from the list.

3. Check product availability and pricing across wholesalers. Click the eye icon or product name in the results to open the product detail page. Here you immediately see which wholesalers offer the product.

4. Choose the best wholesaler for your company. Since BarTrack shows all connected wholesalers for each product, you can make an informed decision based on current data.

5. Add the item to your inventory location. Once you’ve chosen the wholesaler, click ‘Add to location.’ The product is now created in your inventory management, linked to your chosen wholesaler. From now on, you can easily reorder the item from this supplier or switch suppliers by repeating the search process.

6. Repeat for all required items. Add each item you want to manage in BarTrack using this method.
