To RS Components TraceParts means loyal customers

RS Components is the leading distributor of electronic, electrical & industrial components for Europe and the Asia Pacific region. Their multi-brand offering of over 550,000 products is focused on the electronics, maintenance, automation and controls markets. Their success is based on extensive product offerings, immediate product availability, free technical help and now, on its 3D component catalogs.

“An incredibly positive experience”

David Pike, Marketing Engineer at RS in Oxford, England, outlines the RS 3D CAD program for us:

We analyzed what our customers were looking for in terms of accelerating and improving their design processes. We learned that 3D design was growing fast, even reaching 70% in Europe. So we initiated a partnership with our suppliers in order to offer 3D models of their components to our customers.

RS Components offers a complete database of electronic products with a multi-criteria search feature. The 50,000 3D models already
available at RS Components include the famous Raspberry Pi, a computer barely bigger than a credit card, which can connect to a TV and a keyboard. The Model B (512 MB of RAM) sells for $35 on the RS Components website. This particular 3D model has been used by a host of enthusiasts to design 3D-printable packaging.

David Pikes concludes:

This enhanced visibility has enabled us to reach a lot of new design engineers. But the most important thing is that, thanks to online 3D catalogs, our existing customers are now ordering more products. Each 3D models is associated with an RS part numbers, which automatically appears in the purchasing list.

A Remke Industries fez parceria com a TraceParts para experiência digital do cliente e máquina de oportunidades de vendas integrada HubSpot

TraceParts allowed us to leverage existing Remke digital assets to achieve our objectives. The Remke web team implemented the TraceParts EasyLink embedded viewer and CAD download functions which allowed us to free up our customer support team since our customers can now find and download Remke CAD files on our website on their own, 24/7. We’ll be adding CAD data for additional Remke products over time

Seeger-Orbis: The “Lord of the Rings” and TraceParts

TraceParts allows us to make available our products “on the fly” in a variety of CAD formats to our customers via our own website. We have also found a measurable additional sales multiplier effect for our products through their publication on traceparts.com and its highly qualified audience.

"We owe a lot to TraceParts for our growth"

Since we were evaluating the investment only in terms of supplying CAD models, the financial effort seemed very high and we hesitated for a long time, especially since part of our catalogs are made up of parts manufactured by third parties. The sales and technical teams at TraceParts were finally able to convince us and we do not regret it at all, because the benefits largely surpass the simple service offered to our customers.
