CDS Catalog Faceted Search, SEO and CAD Solutions Selected by Buckeye Fasteners

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

Buckeye Fasteners takes pride in stocking an impressive inventory of fasteners from at least eight leading fastener manufacturers. In addition to weld fasteners, they also distribute adjusting screws, nuts, press nuts, stand-offs, cap, acorn, thumb nuts, rivet nuts, grease fittings, clevis pins, appliance levelers and furniture glides. Buckeye has complete custom manufacturing capabilities and supports their products from development to implementation. Their on staff engineering department can assist you with product development and provide total technical support. “Today, the industrial buying process has changed. Most of us search online for what we need and industrial designers do the same – often before talking to a potential supplier. The first impression potential customers get of our company is often our website, so it needs to give them an excellent and intuitive experience,” Larry Kelly, Business Development Manager, Buckeye Fasteners. “We’ve successfully used CDS’s CAD as a Service solution for many years to give our customers downloadable 3D CAD models of our products. By adding the integrated CDS Catalog as a Service solution our products and CAD models will more easily get found online via SEO. We look forward to the new solution going live later this year.”

“We’re absolutely delighted that Buckeye have chosen our Catalog as a Service solution too” 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. Buckeye Fasteners 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.
