CDS Catalog and CAD Download Solution Selected by FluiDyne Fluid Power
CDS (Catalog Data Solutions) today announced that FluiDyne Fluid Power, Inc. has selected its SaaS Catalog and CAD download solution.
FluiDyne Fluid Power, Inc. of Fraser, MI, provides distributors and resellers with new and remanufactured pumps, motors, valves, filters and filter elements. “The internet has changed industrial sourcing – OEM designers commonly research products online even before talking to potential suppliers. Our website needs to provide visitors with an easy to use online product catalog and downloadable CAD models to make specifying our products simple”, said Wick Harwick, General Manager, Fluidyne, Inc. “We evaluated several vendors and chose the CDS Catalog and CDS ModelServer SaaS solutions because they are well proven in the market, specifically designed for industrial suppliers, up-to-date technically and CDS is highly responsive to work with. This new solution is currently being configured for our products and will be integrated into our popular website.”
“We’re delighted to have been selected by FluiDyne,” said John Major, CEO CDS. “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. FluiDyne is now doing just that, via an online product catalog and CAD downloads that ensure their products both remain in contention and exploit advantages made possible by the new process. The downloadable CAD models of the products save designers and buyers time and enable the products to be designed-in easily and quickly. 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.”
