Catalog Data Solutions CAD Download Solution Adopted by Assured Automation
Catalog Data Solutions ( CDS ) announced that Assured Automation has adopted its CAD model download solution.
Assured Automation is a leading provider of automated valves and flow components for industrial process control applications. Our product line consists of a complete offering of standardized automated valve assemblies with a variety of commonly used accessory items
Responding to customer requests for CAD models of its products, Assured Automation decided to offer 3D CAD models of valves for download from its web site. "Our Goal is to make the selection, estimating and delivery of high quality automated valves and flow components as quick and easy as possible - obviously a CAD download service helps achieve that," said Mike Farrell, VP Marketing, Assured Automation. "With the addition of 2D/3D CAD drawings to our website, we are meeting that need for Pro/Engineer, SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD Mechanical or other commonly used CAD programs and we are expecting an increase in sales as a result."
"We are delighted to have been selected by Assured Automation for our leading online CAD model download solution, lead tracking system and affordable CAD services", said John Major, CEO Catalog Data Solutions, "online 3D models are an important sales and marketing tool for all industrial suppliers and distributors. With many customers moving from 2D to 3D CAD systems providing online 3D CAD model downloads often 'locks' products into a design so suppliers later benefit from the sales success of that design. Suppliers without 3D models on their website are at risk of losing customers to their competition who do offer 3D models".
