The Northamerican Heating, Refrigeration and Airconditioning Wholesalers Association addressed the problem of conflicting standards and protocols for emerging electronic commerce technology at the group's midyear business conference June 24-25 in Victoria, British Columbia.
The organization's Distribution Logistics Committee, chaired by former President Russ Broeckelmann, recommended adoption of the EDI Pro standard that has already been adopted by large segments of the electrical industry. A meeting in Atlanta is planned in September to further investigate the proposal, prior to a final recommendation to the NHRAW board at the December convention.
