Between how many systems do you change until you have all the component information?
PARTsolutions as a universal research system regarding standard, supplier and self-designed parts
Engineers and purchasers are always faced with the challenge of finding the best possible component for their product. However, a qualified decision about the best component is only possible if all relevant information about components is available quickly and easily. The typical process for product development is complicated, since it is very often necessary to switch back and forth between the different IT systems for the search of component information.
The decision for the best possible component can only be made if all relevant information is available. According to the survey, 73% of the interviewed persons have to access more than one system to get this information. Engineers and purchasers have to switch back and forth between the systems. This not only wastes time, but also prevents concentrated working on the project.
