CDS Catalog, CAD Download and eCommerce Solution Live on GAM, Inc. Website

CDS (Catalog Data Solutions) announced that GAM, Inc. has selected its CAD download solution for their website.

Illinois based and U.S. owned GAM, Inc. designs and manufactures high precision gear reducers, servo couplings and linear slide kits. “Our customers are design engineers and enabling them to search our product range online, view models of our products in any browser and to download CAD to whatever CAD system they happen to use saves them a tremendous amount of design time,” said Craig Van den Avont, President. “Enabling an excellent customer experience, including online purchasing, is fundamental to our business success and our website is key to presenting that experience to the world at large. After a thorough evaluation of various competitors we liked CDS’s flexibility to our needs and selected CDS Catalog and CDS ModelServer as the best online product Catalog, eCommerce and CAD download solution for an Industrial Supplier like GAM.”

“CDS is delighted to be providing this solution for GAM”, 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. GAM has done just that, with an online product 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.”

CDS helps industrial suppliers and distributors grow sales and strengthen customer loyalty through interactive online product catalogs, ecommerce, 3D CAD model delivery and product configurator solutions.
