Catalog Data Solutions Selected by Northwestern Tools for Online CAD Downloads
Catalog Data Solutions (CDS) announced that Northwestern Tools, Inc. has implemented its CAD Download solution to present and download product CAD models from SpringAndBallPlungers.com.
The new SpringAndBallPlungers.com website was developed by Reid Supply Company and Northwestern Tools to provide designers direct access to a complete line of spring and ball plungers - spring plungers, ball plungers, hand retractable, press fits, modified standards, or complete specials, whatever your requirements.
“Adding CAD Downloads to our http://www.SpringAndBallPlungers.com web site will save our customers time in specifying and configuring our products for their designs,” said Bob Madewell of Northwestern Tools. “With this CAD support combined with the ease of ordering our products on-line we expect to see an increase in the number of online orders and RFQs.”
“We are delighted to have been selected by Northwestern Tools for our leading online CAD model download solution”, said John Major, CEO Catalog Data Solutions, “online 3D models are an important sales and marketing tool for all industrial suppliers and distributors. With many customers moving from 2D to 3D CAD systems providing online 3D CAD model downloads saves customers time and often ‘locks’ products into a design. Conversely suppliers without 3D models on their website are at risk of losing customers to their competition who do offer 3D models”.
