Plumbing and heating specialists Graham, and civil engineering products supplier Frazer, both operating divisions of SGBD, are also included in the new deal which will guarantee the smooth delivery of electronic invoices across the three divisions.

Other data formats, such as those provided by the Business Application Software Developers Association, provide a range of simple integration options, alongside a fully customisable interface.
This allows all companies to establish a single interface with Tradex with their trading partners across the industry.
Tradex has been developed in conjunction with HM Customs and Excise to meet tax control requirements, allowing companies to stop sending paper invoices.
