The intuitive nature of the program allows the user to order naturally with no hand holding," said Nick Staub, President and CEO of alternator & starter distributor, Romaine Electric. "In our business, we often sell components to rebuilders of rotating electrical products. No other online ordering system will show all component availability, pricing and interchanges on one query. We feel we have a leg up on our competition with OpenWebs!"
