SAN DIEGO – March 9, 2005 – Trade Service,
a leading content provider to the electrical
industry, today announced that it now
offers on demand access to its eDataFlex
Pricing Service. Electrical distributors
subscribing to Trade Service can obtain
eDataFlex Pricing Service updates immediately,
in addition to the standard weekly updates
that are currently part of the service.
“We take a unique
approach to our eDataFlex Pricing Service
in that it is packaged to be compatible
with our customer’s systems without
extensive data manipulation or programming,”
said Robert Stone, Director of Business
Development for Trade Service. “We are
excited to extend our service in a way
that complements the reliable weekly
updates our customers are accustomed
to.”
Today, the electrical
industry faces time-sensitive events
that significantly impact pricing for
some distributors, such as steel or
copper based price volatility. Now,
Trade Service customers who feel impacted
by such situations can benefit from
immediate, on demand updates to their
eDataFlex Pricing Service.
“It is our experience
that weekly price maintenance is appropriate
for most circumstances, however, for
some distributors, it is critical that
certain fluctuations in pricing be addressed
immediately,” said Tony Dubreville,
President and CEO of Trade Service.
“We strive to listen carefully to our
customer’s needs and thoughtfully innovate
practical solutions which can accommodate
the different needs of their businesses.”
