Software puts spare parts online

The CDS Spare Parts Catalog incorporates easy interactive online navigation and advanced graphical, photographic and exploded part drawing searches.

Catalog Data Solutions has released its new CDS Spare Parts Catalog product, available in an on demand business model.

Key capabilities include easy interactive online navigation and advanced graphical, photographic and exploded part drawing search assisted by tabular attribute and part sorting, optional RFQs and E-commerce.

The first customer to go live is Alstom Signalling, a division of Alstom which has implemented the new CDS Spare Parts Catalog - now available online for spare part selection and ordering.

"We wanted an easy to use online spare parts catalogue with both graphical and attribute search for our customers that provides an advanced user experience online 24x7.

The objective is to save the customers' time in selecting and ordering the right spare part", said Barry Wharity, Vice President - Product Sales and Marketing, Alstom signalling.

"We chose CDS for rapid delivery, graphical and attribute search and on-demand delivery integrated directly into our website".

"In complex products, being able to see a drawing of the spare part as well as any and all attributes largely eliminates the opportunity for human error", said John Major, CEO of Catalog Data Solutions.

"We are delighted that Alstom Signalling selected Catalog Data Solutions as this further endorses both our software and the momentum towards software as a service/on-demand delivery of mission critical applications".
