Product data,
Complete.

wholesalers, manufacturers and web shops have trusted Skwirrel for years — for companies with complex product data, large catalogues and multiple sales channels.

Sound familiar?

We hear this every week from new customers.

Product data is spread across Excel, ERP, supplier files and stray folders.
ETIM classification takes endless manual work.
Web shop data is incomplete or inconsistent.
Getting new products live takes far too long.
Every supplier delivers their data differently.

Skwirrel brings it all together in one manageable product-data flow.

Standards we build on

Our lifelines in the installation industry.

Skwirrel was built in 2017 around two fundamental standards: ETIM for classification and 2BA as a data pool to the Dutch wholesale market. No plug-ins, no loose mappings — built into how we handle product data.

2BA

Data pool · since 2017

Our lifeline to the wholesale market.

Almost every Dutch wholesaler (Technische Unie, Rexel, Solar, Wasco) pulls its product data from 2BA. Skwirrel publishes on your behalf — no manual 2BA portal, no drift between your PIM and what your customers see.

  • Bi-directional sync — publication + validation feedback per article
  • ETIM-mature — accepted out of the box
  • Multi-GLN for multi-brand

ETIM

Classification · v8/v9/v10

Features, not free-text fields.

ETIM is not an attribute — it is the foundation. Skwirrel works ETIM-native: classes with required features, value-list validation, automatic multilingual support and effortless MC variants.

  • ETIM Dynamic for classification, ETIM MC for BIM objects
  • Versions 7, 8, 9 and 10 in parallel per assortment
  • ETIM xChange 1.1 + 2.0 and BMEcat 5.0 for exchange

Data pool · Belgium

Our route to the Belgian market.

Techlink is to the Belgian installation sector what 2BA is to the Netherlands. Skwirrel feeds it from the same product data — TDF, BMEcat and ETIM xChange, generated automatically.

  • Techlink Data Format (TDF), BMEcat & ETIM xChange
  • ETIM-native — no loose mappings
  • One source for 2BA (NL) and Techlink (BE)

Also supported

BMEcat 1.2 / 2.0 / 5.0 DATANORM 4 / 5 ETIM xChange 1.1 / 2.0 DICO InstallData (BE) GS1 GPC / GTIN / GLN

BMEcat and DATANORM are essential for the German-speaking market — DACH wholesalers and installers expect them as standard.

Veelgestelde vragen

Veelgestelde vragen

Who is Skwirrel best suited for?

Manufacturers, importers and wholesalers in the technical sector (installation, electrical, sanitary, climate control) with a catalogue of ~500 to 50,000 items. What sets us apart: deep integration with ETIM and 2BA — not as a plug-in, but as a core. For commodity trading or fashion there are likely better-suited tools.

How does Skwirrel differ from other PIM systems like Akeneo or Pimcore?

Scale and specialisation. Akeneo and Pimcore are broader and heavier — great if you have an international multi-brand portfolio. Skwirrel is focused on the Dutch installation industry, with 2BA and ETIM flow built in, hosted in NL/EU, and shorter decision timelines. No Salesforce pricing; no year-long implementations.

How long does a typical implementation take?

Pilot live within 2-4 weeks (first 500-1000 items in, first publication to 2BA or web shop). Full rollout depends on the catalogue — typically 8-16 weeks for a mid-size portfolio. See [/aanpak] for the phased approach.

What are the pricing details? How is it calculated?

Per month, based on catalogue size and user count. No hidden costs for integrations — an AFAS or Magento integration is included in the price. Implementation is a one-time setup fee. See [/tarieven].

What if I want to switch from another PIM system?

We do this regularly — import scripts from Akeneo, Pimcore, Sales Layer, or even from Excel + ERP exports. First step: a data-discovery session to understand your current structure. Then phased migration, with old and new running in parallel during transition.
