For Nook Industries, a manufacturer of Power Transmission components, their best salesman now closes 80-85% of all leads, without requiring benefits. Who is this new hotshot? It’s an online catalog powered by 3D PartStream.NET and it provides Nook’s customers with fully configurable and downloadable 3D models of Nook components. It also streamlines the sales process, improves customer loyalty and gives Nook a significant competitive advantage – the power of getting "designed in."

Now a customer can configure, view and download his desired part directly into his design, eliminating the time consuming process of requesting CAD models from Nook. The greater efficiency saves time and effort, allowing Nook to reduce service, sales support and engineering costs by $400,000 in just one year, while virtually guaranteeing a sale.

Best of all, Nook has increased their number and quality of leads through 3D ContentCentral, a free online directory that gives over 268,000 SolidWorks CAD software users direct access to download Nook’s products. The result: an increase in sales by 35% for all products online, cost reductions of 90% for every lead, and the end of trade show spending.
