D&H Customers Can Upload Detailed Specs, Images, Categories, Search Words, Product Features, etc., to Improve Sales Continuity and Value on their eCommerce Sites
Harrisburg, PA (PRWEB) June 23, 2009 -- Major North American computer products and consumer electronics distributor D&H Distributing has joined forces with Etilize, the world's largest source of aggregated product data, to offer its customers the SpeX Source product data subscription service. SpeX Source is a comprehensive catalog of up-to-date product specifications and content for use on eCommerce web sites.
This service provides resellers, retailers and dealers with the latest and most precise available specifications for thousands of the technology products that D&H carries. This high quality, aggregated data includes web-ready product images, marketing copy, category information, part numbers, popular features, search keywords and more. The information can be used to improve the accuracy and detail of subscribers' eCommerce storefronts, online catalogs, and electronic marketing materials, creating a better end-user experience.
D&H resellers and dealers can leverage Etilize's extensive product data to improve continuity of sales and facilitate growth, since a superior online offering can be crucial to the success of many small businesses. The distributor has partnered with Etilize for more than two years to provide more comprehensive specifications on its own web sites, dandh.com, and dandh.ca in Canada. This was implemented in response to customer feedback requesting enhanced product details and content. Recognizing the value the service has created, D&H would like its customers to have access to these same resources.
"We want to give our customers the most advantages possible, especially when it comes to their ability to market themselves, convey value and increase sales in this environment," said Jeff Davis, senior vice president of sales at D&H. "More detailed taxonomy and quality data can help differentiate their inventory and their overall proposition for buyers, creating a better transaction experience. That can generate a competitive edge at a time when many companies are lowering their standards."
"Etilize and the SpeX Source service have been providing significant value-add to small businesses and IT companies for years, producing the kind of accurate, thorough resources that engender long-term customer satisfaction," said Azhar Hameed, CEO, Etilize Inc. "We're excited to extend those assets to D&H's strong customer base in order to support their success."
Customers can obtain the SpeX Source service on a subscription basis with a minimum one-year contract, which includes standard integration, documentation and 24/7 support. Subscribers can receive content via XML or hosted delivery, in standardized, normalized and structured formats.
The Etilize offering is one of many ongoing web enhancements the distributor has implemented in supporting its customers' online dealings with dandh.com. These include:
- A "green"-certified refinement tool, which allows purchasers to easily identify ecologically conservative products.
- An inventory availability feature that provides product inventory levels at each distribution center, as well as automatic ETA email alerts for out-of-stock products.
- Specific rebate end-date indicators, to help resellers take advantage of limited-time offers.
-The option to choose from freight carriers beyond the company's default carrier, to accommodate specific shipping needs.
