CDS Catalog Faceted Search, SEO and CAD Solution Selected by Gilman Precision to Meet Customer Needs

CDS (Catalog Data Solutions) announced that its Catalog as a Service™ and CAD as a Service™ solutions has been selected by Gilman Precision Inc.

Gilman Precision is a Grafton, WI based manufacturer of linear and rotary motion solutions. “Today, the industrial buying process has changed. We all now search online for what we need and industrial designers do the same – often before talk to a potential supplier. Therefore the first impression potential customers get of our company is often our website, so it needs to give them an excellent and polished experience,” Douglas Biggs, Vice President Sales and Marketing, Gilman Precision. “Our customers were requesting downloadable 3D CAD models of our products so we had to meet that need but we also wanted to get found online via SEO. We evaluated at several suppliers and CDS Catalog as a Service™ and CAD as a Service™ were technologically more advanced and well proven in the market, offered better SEO, tracking and analytics tools and were more favorably priced. We look forward to the new solution going live later this year.”

“We’re absolutely delighted to have been selected by Gilman Precision,” said John Major, CEO CDS. “As industrial product selection and buying continues to change and evolve, sales and marketing organizations need to continually come up with ways to get in front of the selection and buying cycle. Gilman Precision has done just that!”

CDS helps grow sales and strengthen customer loyalty for its clients through interactive online product catalogs, ecommerce, 3D CAD & BIM model delivery and product configurator solutions.
