HVAC/Plumbing Materials

Common Business Issues We Can Solve:

Many HVAC and plumbing material distributors today face similar business challenges. Customers looking for new and/or replacement parts expect catalogs that offer high quality images, feature-rich descriptions, and up-to-date pricing information. They need content that matches the parts they're searching for and inventory that meets their immediate needs.

To maintain sales, organizations like yours must have data that delivers what today's marketplace demands, in order to:

Effectively market and sell manufacturers' products through a variety of media, including sales flyers, e-commerce, and/or print catalogs
Provide customer service that meets expectations and builds sales
Improve procurement and supply chain mechanisms

With years of experience paying close attention to our customer's needs, we know:

Companies like yours often have unique requirements related to information content, format, database platforms and other criteria that affect e-commerce, e-procurement, customized print catalogs, and more
Manufacturers often lack a content-rich database on all their products (rich = all possible product attributes, long and short descriptions, product images, transaction information, etc.)
Even if all required information does exist, it may reside in different departments, not within a consolidated database

Common Obstacles We Can Overcome:

No single source of unified data or parts information
Core product and catalog content and data not stored within the enterprise
Source product and parts content stored in old legacy systems that are difficult to search and extract
Source data located in antiquated media (microfiche, film, paper)
