Catalog Data Solutions Catalog, CAD Download and Configurator Solution Selected by Symmco Inc.

Symmco, Inc., based in Sykesville, PA, manufactures high quality powder metal (P/M) components and is particularly well known for its lead-free P/M bearings. “The internet has changed the product selection and procurement process – our customers now often research and select products online even before talking to any supplier. Therefore our website and the right product on it must be easily found and selected. That convenience is augmented by having downloadable CAD models available to save customers time and to get our product designed in,” said Beth Krise, Director of Sales and Marketing, Symmco Inc. “Working together with West Media Group, Inc. (who also developed and maintains our website), we reviewed a number of alternatives before making a decision. We selected the proven CDS Catalog and CDS ModelServer SaaS solution for all our standard products and spec’d a configurator that CDS will develop for our customers to design non-standard products.”

“Symmco reviewed industrial online catalogs that they liked for both ease of use and inclusion of all the functionality they needed, and they chose CDS,” said Jim Wasylik, President, West Media Group.”

“We’re delighted to have been selected by Symmco Inc. and West Media Group,” said John Major, CEO Catalog Data Solutions. “As they recognize the industrial buying 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.”

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