AMI Bearings Launches New Web Strategy to Better Service Engineers Across North America
Manufacturer of mounted ball bearings collaborates with Thomas Industrial Network to build a complete and interactive online catalog, featuring CAD drawings of 50,000 products
Mount Prospect, Il-October 12, 2011 -AMI Bearings of Mount Prospect, Il, a manufacturer of mounted ball bearings, has launched a new Internet strategy that allows the company to better service their customers, and to reach more qualified prospects across North America.
Working with Thomas Industrial Network, AMI Bearings created a central, online platform to host all of its product information which can be streamed into multiple channels. A new website features its catalog of over 50,000 unique products. AMI Bearings can meet just about any application demand, from conveyor belts to fitness equipment, servicing customers from an equally wide range of industries, from food manufacturing to mining. With its new online strategy, AMI Bearings' customers can speed their product design and development, and accelerate maintenance and repairs.
Specifically, AMI Bearings' new website makes it easy for prospective customers to identify and select the items that meet their exact needs. Visitors can search by part number or keyword, and access detailed specs, images and PDFs. They can compare several similar products, sorted by multiple characteristics (such as dimensional data, materials and features) all on one, easy to read screen. Additionally, a new online library of 2D and 3D CAD drawings makes it easy for prospective customers to insert AMI Bearings into their own detailed and complex project designs. That makes it much more likely that the prospects will ultimately make a purchase from AMI Bearings.
The amount of detailed content on the website has the added benefit of driving AMI Bearings to the top of Internet searches. The more specific an engineer's search for an item¬ the greater the likelihood AMI Bearings will be among the first results. That will draw more prospective customers from across North America to AMI Bearings' website.
"Our new Internet strategy simplifies the end-to-end procurement process for our customer base," according to AMI management. "From the research phase to giving them the ability to insert one of our bearings into their products, this single platform puts us in a stronger position to finalize a sale."
