Catalog Data Solutions Selected by Fibergrate Composite Structures Inc. for Online Catalog and CAD Downloads
Catalog Data Solutions (CDS) announced that Fibergrate Composite Structures Inc has selected its Online Catalog and CAD Download solution to present and download CAD models online.
Fibergrate Composite Structures Inc. is a global manufacturer of fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) products for industrial and commercial use. “Adding a digitally searchable catalog and CAD Downloads to our web site will save our customers time in drawing and specifying our products,” said Libby Rode, Marketing Supervisor at Fibergrate. “Previously we had outsourced with another company to manage our CAD downloads, but have switched to CDS because their solution is easier to use, gives us more future flexibility and is favorably priced.”
“We are delighted to have been selected by Fibergrate for our leading online CAD model download and digital catalog solution,” said John Major, CEO Catalog Data Solutions, “Online CAD models are an important sales and marketing tool for all industrial suppliers and distributors. With many customers moving from paper to CAD systems, providing online CAD model downloads often ‘locks’ products into a design so suppliers later benefit from the sales success of that design. Conversely suppliers without CAD models on their website are at risk of losing customers to their competition who do offer CAD models.”
