One connection. Your documentation with every technician.

Your official documentation reaches the technicians at the installation companies that work with your products — in the app they already use, with source and page number attached.

Keep the commercial chain. Shorten the knowledge chain.

01
Release
Manufacturer authorises technical documentation through 2BA for a selected product line or GLNs.
02
Process
Manuel processes the documentation and makes it searchable.
03
Test
3–5 manufacturer experts use Manuel for 2–3 weeks and deliberately ask difficult product questions.
04
Review
Correct · missing documentation · needs improvement.
05
Approve
Nothing becomes publicly available until the manufacturer approves the result.
OEM approved
Technician network
Not on 2BA? Then we take in part of the range separately. Onboarding happens together with your experts.
Your knowledge. Your control.

Know exactly what technicians are being told about your products.
