Catalog Data Solutions Selected by Northwestern Tools for Online CAD Downloads
Catalog Data Solutions (CDS) announced that Northwestern Tools, Inc. has selected its Online Catalog and CAD Download solution to present and download product CAD models online.
Northwestern Tools, Inc. manufacturers over 2000 quality work-holding & fastening components. “Adding CAD Downloads to our web site will save our customers time in specifying and configuring our products for their designs,” said Bob Madewell of Northwestern Tools. “As a result we expect to see an increase in the number of online sales leads 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.”
