High number of customer requests for the Electronic Product Catalog

Up to now, the NORCAN company website has provided information about its products only as a PDF datasheet. To obtain further product information that was not available on the website, customers contacted NORCAN directly and requested access to the general product data library. However, the customers had to first download the entire library in order to then find the desired information for each product.

NORCAN product areas are now clearly divided into each product category on the 3D CAD models download portal PARTcommunity. Each product can be viewed in 3D and then downloaded in more than 100 common, native CAD formats.

"It's a difference like day and night between our old solution and the new CADENAS Electronic Product Catalog,",says Nicolas Ott, Marketing Manager at NORCAN. "The next step for us is to integrate the digital product catalog directly into our website."

Download information leads to effective customer leads

Before the introduction of the new NORCAN product catalog, the French manufacturer only knew the total number of users who had downloaded the company's own library. Thanks to the CADENAS eCATALOGsolutions technology, every CAD download provides important information for NORCAN's sales team. The number of downloads for each product is clearly displayed and provides NORCAN with important information, which also simplifies entry into new international markets.

Optimal support through CADENAS

The introduction of a product catalog had been NORCAN's aim for some time, so as to further develop its already existing customer service. To ensure a solid software base for the catalog, the company decided to have its product catalog created by an external provider. The choice was for CADENAS as one of the leading manufacturers of Electronic Product Catalogs, known for its excellent service during as well as after the creation of the catalog.

"In the near future, we wish to help our customers to create their own designs with our products, using our Electronic Product Catalog. CADENAS assists our customers with this process," says Nicolas Ott.
