SAN JOSE, California, May 9, 2007 - Catalog Data Solutions (CDS), a leading provider of online product selection tools for industrial suppliers and distributors, today announced the immediate availability of a new version of its CDS Catalog incorporating CDS Locator technology.

“Finding the right product fast, based on the exact specifications that the designer needs, is a key to productivity gains during the design process,” said John Major, CEO Catalog Data Solutions. “We are delighted to make this new technology available to design engineers through product manufacturers and distributors. For companies that have large numbers of similar products a specification or attribute based search is fundamental and side-by-side product comparison essential. It also works seamlessly with the CDS ModelServer to enable designers to download rather than redraw the selected 3D parts, thereby further enhancing design productivity.”

“The Gates Industrial Hose Catalog provided by CDS now includes sophisticated location and navigation for chemical hose compatibility features via the CDS Locator advanced search functionality,” said Todd Mueller, Manager, Business Development at Gates Corporation. “This reduces overall design time by enabling customer engineers to quickly find parts, confirm selection through CAD interrogation and download CAD models into their own system."

Studies show that over 90% of designers and engineers now use the Internet to locate components for their new designs. 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. With many customers moving from 2D to 3D CAD systems, providing online 3D CAD model downloads often gives suppliers an earlier opportunity to have their products adopted in new designs. Conversely suppliers without 3D models on their website are at risk of losing customers to their competition who do offer 3D models.
