Today I would like to address mechanical component suppliers of today. Companies that make relatively small series, for a niche market. Companies that make specific bearings, gears, valves, precision components, specific hydraulic equipment, springs, piping suppliers, and any other product that serves the industry.
Many of these companies have a website that showcases their products. They have tables, downloadable PDF’s or even a physical catalog, which we used to use in the past.
However, many engineer have are frustrated at times. Because they need your product, but there is no CAD file available. Or, very limited. Or they need to email you, which may take a while, sometimes a week or more.
We understand the concerns. Leaders of these companies hesitate because there may be counterfeit or pirate companies. But, think about it, how would you copy a product? The easiest way is just to buy the product and reverse engineer it. In fact, the only way to prevent a counterfeit for 100% is to never sell your product anyhow. But, I guess, that is not the goal of your business.
Look at the big guys, like Festo or SKF. They throw everything online. So why not you?
Look at the upside. Put yourself in the shoes of an engineer for a minute. You design this wonderful system and you just need to put in some complicated items. It happens to be the exact product that you sell.
The guy goes online and finds no download. The manager is breathing in his neck and the time pressure is on. What can he do? It takes way to much time to copy it from a pdf or a table on your website.
So, he goes to a competitor. They have it, al be it more expensive. But time is money too, so within 5 minutes he has put the model of a competitor in his assembly.
Can you guess where they gonna purchase this product? That’s right, they go to your competitor. Any idea how many clients you miss because they don’t have access to your designs?
We can help you fix this.
