Catalog Data Solutions 3D-Powered Online Catalog Selected by Design World and R+W Couplings
San Jose, CA, January 29, 2007 - Catalog Data Solutions (CDS), a leading provider of online product selection tools for industrial suppliers and distributors, today announced the launch of the R+W Couplings 3D-Powered Online Catalog available at via Design World Community http://www.designworldonline.com. Key capabilities include easy interactive online navigation, parametric part selection, online 3D viewing of parts and CAD downloads in formats suitable for all major CAD systems.
"The requirement for R+W Couplings was an easy to use online parts catalog for some key components with both graphical and attribute search for our customers that provides an advanced user experience online 24X7. The objective is to save the designers time in selecting the right part and downloading the CAD model rather than re-drawing," said Marshall Matheson, VP new media at Design World. "We chose CDS for rapid delivery, graphical and attribute search and on-demand delivery integrated directly into our website."
R+W Couplings is an international manufacturing company specialized in the design and manufacture of flexible shaft coupling for power transmission. Responding to US customer requests for CAD models of its products, R+W Couplings decided to offer a 3D-Powered Online Catalog via Design World Online. "We frequently got requests from customers for CAD models" said Andrew Lechner, Product Manager at R+W Couplings America. "By adding this 3D-Powered Online Catalog we are meeting that need and expect to see an increase in our sales."
"We are delighted to have been selected by Design World and R+W Couplings for our leading online CAD model download solution, lead tracking system and affordable CAD services", said John Major, CEO Catalog Data Solutions, "online 3D models are an important sales and marketing tool for all industrial suppliers and distributors. With many customers moving from 2D to 3D CAD systems providing online 3D CAD model downloads often 'locks' products into a design so suppliers later benefit from the sales success of that design. Suppliers without 3D models on their website are at risk of losing customers to their competition who do offer 3D models".
Catalog Data Solutions helps industrial manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors grow sales and strengthen customer loyalty through interactive online catalogs, spare parts catalogs, ecommerce, 3D CAD model delivery and product configurator solutions. Studies show that over 90% of designers and engineers now use the Internet to locate components for their new designs. For interactive ease of use, ease of setup, 2D or 3D graphics and attribute search nothing betters a CDS catalog.
