Electronic
Catalog Software Designed With Internet Update Technology
This catalog lookup software provides catalog managers with
a convenient method for accessing application, buyer’s guide,
interchange, and specification data for parts, all in one
place.
Power21 provides powerful
searching capabilities. There are virtually no limitations as to
what the user can search for. The searching flexibility offers a
wide choice of search-and-find features. For example, the user
can enter a specific competitor’s part number and be able to
retrieve all of the related part numbers. The user can also
enter any portion of a competitor’s part number even if the
complete number is unavailable. This is accomplished by using a
wild card character (*) at the beginning and/or end of a
competitor’s part number. This will find any matches based on
the portion of the part number entered. For example: 1234*,
or 1234* or *1234*.
