Catalog Data Solutions Catalog Solution Now Live on Amphenol Industrial Global Operations Website
CDS (Catalog Data Solutions, Inc.) today announced that its online parts catalog and CAD download solution is now live on the Amphenol Industrial Global Operations Design Online website.
Amphenol Industrial Global Operations (AIGO), a division of Amphenol Corporation, is the leading manufacturer of cylindrical connectors in the world. “Industrial product selection and procurement has changed with the internet. Existing and potential customers now often research and select products online even before talking to any supplier. The right product for the customer’s current search must be intuitively easy to find and select online, then incorporate into their CAD design,” said Chris Van Soest, Director of Marketing, Amphenol Industrial Global Operations. “We selected the CDS SaaS solution for our ‘Amphenol Design Online’ system because it meets the needs of our engineering customers with a simple and intuitive user interface, industrial parametric search capability and excellent value for money.”
“We’re delighted to have implemented the CDS Catalog and CDS ModelServer solution for Amphenol Industrial Global Operations,” said John Major, CEO Catalog Data Solutions. “As 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. Amphenol has done just that, with an online parts catalog and CAD downloads that ensure their products both remain in contention and exploit a new advantage made possible by the new process. Of the many types of online marketing content (e.g. white papers, case studies, brochures, videos, demos, recorded webinars, reviews, CAD model downloads, etc.) only one is known to lead to a sale nearly 50% of the time! CAD downloads may be the most efficient online marketing tool available.”
Catalog Data Solutions helps industrial suppliers and distributors grow sales and strengthen customer loyalty through interactive online catalogs, ecommerce, 3D CAD model delivery and product configurator solutions.
