eDAP FAQ

What is eDAP?
eDAP (electronic Data Aggregation Program) was introduced to leading electrical distributors throughout the U.S. Customers who choose to participate in eDAP provide us with permission to aggregate data on product and pricing information that we will use to offer a valuable service to the electrical distribution industry.

How will our data be used?
With eDAP, pricing data from your company and dozens of other leading distributors are combined and analyzed. Our forthcoming RealPricer service provides industry subscribers with information on the Median price of fast
moving items, as well as the range of prices for which it has been sold. These data are derived from thousands, or tens of thousands, of transactions.

How can I be sure that my competitors will not know specifics about my pricing?
Because we only will aggregate data for items when we have a significant number of participants and we only provide summary data, your individual pricing policies can never be derived from our services. No individual transactions are given, nor are any individual company names used.

Can you give me an example?
Sure. Suppose you are interested in finding out the price of a QO120 circuit breaker from Square D. You can look this up on the RealPricer web site, and would see, for example, that QO120’s are selling at a median price of $4.17, and have ranged from a low of $1.76, to as much as $12.77.

Will RealPricer provide regional data?
Yes, RealPricer now includes regional data as of September 2011. In order to protect our network’s anonymity, we will never provide regional information unless there are a significant number of participants in that region.

One of your competitors told us that you will use our customer information for marketing purposes. Is this true?
Absolutely not. Our strict privacy policy ensures that all of your customer information is never used, nor is it released to any third party.
