San Jose, CA, November 29, 2011. Catalog Data Solutions (CDS), a leading provider of online solutions for industrial suppliers, today announced that its SaaS Catalog and CAD download solution is now live on StainlessDrains.com.
StainlessDrains.com of Greenville, Texas manufactures superior, environmentally friendly, stainless steel drainage system products including Sanitary Area Drains, Floor Drains, Trench Drains, Floor Sinks, Trap Drains, Cleanouts, P-traps and Accessories. “We realized that the internet has changed the buying process – our customers now often research and select products online even before talking to any supplier. Therefore our website had to be found online and needs to provide visitors with an easy to use product search. Once the product is identified our downloadable CAD models save our customers time and get our product designed in,” said Shelia Heller, Owner and VP Sales and Marketing, StainlessDrains.com. “With our online marketing agency, TopSpot Internet Marketing, we evaluated several vendors and ultimately chose the CDS Catalog and CDS ModelServer SaaS solutions, which are now seamlessly integrated into our website.”
“In our evaluation we looked at catalog and CAD solutions specifically for industrial suppliers like StainlessDrains.com - CDS stood out technically and were easy and highly responsive to work with,” said Tim Doyle, VP Sales and Marketing, TopSpot Internet Marketing. “We have formally partnered with CDS, and in projects that require this type of functionality we are very enthusiastic about recommending their SaaS Catalog, CAD and Configurator solutions.”
“We’re delighted to have implemented this solution for StainlessDrains.com and their online marketing agency TopSpot,” said John Major, CEO Catalog Data Solutions. “This solution also includes Revit BIM models by CDS partner, CADworks, which illustrates how the AEC industry can easily integrate modern BIM (Building Information Modeling) with proven Catalog and 3D CAD online marketing tools. AEC is quickly catching up with marketing technology and techniques already proven in the Manufacturing space. As StainlessDrains.com and TopSpot recognize the industrial and building product sourcing process has changed, designers now research and select products online, so suppliers’ online content has to influence that research, be easily searchable and downloadable. 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 grow sales and strengthen customer loyalty for its clients through interactive online catalogs, ecommerce, 3D CAD & BIM model delivery and product configurator solutions.
