CDS CAD Download Solution Success for Fenner Drives

San Jose, CA, September 30, 2014. CDS (Catalog Data Solutions), a leading provider of online solutions for industrial suppliers, today announced success details from its customer, Fenner Drives.

Fenner Drives is a worldwide leader in the design and manufacture of added-value, problem solving products for power transmission, motion transfer and conveying applications. “We added product CAD models to our website because the industrial buying process has changed. Industrial Designers, like the rest of us, now search online for what they need. Our product CAD models save designers time by enabling them to download models rather than building them from scratch! We’re delighted to note how appreciated they are, in the last year on average over 750 product CAD models were downloaded each month, over 9000 in total and that’s excluding the number of product CAD model views visitors used to select the product they needed,” said Wendy Booker, Director, Marketing, Product Management & NPD, Fenner Drives. “This enables our products to be ‘designed in’ to new customer CAD designs and then later purchased.”

“We’re delighted by Fenner Drives’ success,” said John Major, CEO CDS. “As product selection and buying continues to change and evolve, sales and marketing organizations need to stay in front of the selection and buying process. Fenner Drives is accomplishing that with their website and CAD downloads that ensure their products get ‘designed in’ by potential customers. 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 enables growth through industrial B2B e-Commerce and strengthens customer loyalty for its clients through interactive online catalogs, configurators 3D CAD & BIM model delivery and e-Commerce solutions.
