ePUMP-FLO offers functionality and a number of powerful features based on the sellers specific needs for online pump selection. Regardless of your budget limits, we have a solution to meet your companies' online pump selection needs. The following technologies highlight the main features offered by the ePUMP-FLO program.

» Advanced Pump Selection Engine

Powering ePUMP-FLO's hydraulic pump selection capabilities is the industry standard PUMP-FLO program. This technology is far superior to any program on the market today based on its ease of use, speed of calculation and dynamic pump curve.

The hydraulic pump selection software provides users with the information they need for pump selection. This can be as simple as entering the pump types, speed, and design points of head and flow. After the buyers specifications are entered, PUMP-FLO.com uses the ePUMP-FLO search engine and the Manufacturers' eCatalog to find a list of pumps meeting the buyers specified needs. The buyer can then finish the pump selection by choosing the most desired pump, ePUMP-FLO displays a customized pump curve.

» Private Access Link

Your Website is one of the most important elements to your marketing strategy, and many times the first introduction to the customer. Your company has probably spent thousands of dollars on a Website full of rich content and flashy graphics. So, the next logical step is to provide your customers with online pump selection.

The ePUMP-FLO Private Access Link is the technology that gives your customers access to pump selection from your companies Website. The Private Access Link creates a seamless transition from your companies Website to your private branded eStorefront. From your eStorefront customers can select an eCatalog from your line card of manufacturers.

» eStorefront

An eStorefront offers distributors a private branded mini-Website to showcase company, product and contact information. The eStorefront displays the manufacturers from your line card as well as their eCatalogs for selection.
The following elements are present in the eStorefronts:

Company logo
Company information
Product listing and description
Contact information, phone, fax, email, Website link
Manufacturers' logos and eCatalogs

» Customer Lead Database - Automated Lead Generation

Providing your current and potential customers with online pump selection is an incredible service, but it does not directly increase revenue. You need detailed reports on who is selecting pumps from your eCatalog so you can follow-up on purchasing inquiries. In short, you need a tool to "harness those leads."

Using ePUMP-FLO you have access (through a secure login) to all the customer lead information that's stored in a secured database. The lead information will include the customers Name, Company, Address, Phone, Fax, and Email; plus details of the pumps selection.

How it Works

Each new user of the ePUMP-FLO software is required to register their user information. When a registered user selects pumps from your eCatalog, their information is passed to your secure leads database. This gives you all the information you need to further proceed with the sales process.

» Advanced Request For Quote (RFQ) - Hot Leads

Today, customers understand the importance of customer service. In fact, they demand that company's respond immediately to each and every one of their needs and requests.

Using ePUMP-FLO's Hot Lead technology you can provide your customers with the capability to instantly submit an RFQ, complete with contact information and a detailed pump selection file. The ePUMP-FLO Hot Lead functionality gives you an incredible time saving tool by automatically pre-qualifying the series buyers. Your selling priorities then shift from chasing warm leads to making sales.

How it Works

Once buyers have completed the pump selection process, they will have the option to submit an Advanced RFQ - Hot Lead. The information is tagged in the secured database as a Hot Lead, and you are sent an email notifying you that a Hot Lead has been recorded in the lead database. The Hot Lead information is complete with all the customers contact information plus a file detailing their entire pump selection. You can then download the file and review it using the standard PUMP-FLO desktop version.

Is your company planning to develop an online procurement solution? With ePUMP-FLO's open architecture, Hot Lead information can tie directly into your company's solution for a seamless electronic purchase.

» eCatalog

In order to work with the ePUMP-FLO program, your represented manufacturers must have their pump performance data converted to an ePUMP-FLO supported electronic format, known as the eCatalog.

The eCatalog consists of all your pump performance data that currently exists in the manufacturer's paper catalog. We can create and maintain your eCatalog, or provide you with the P-Library program (developed by Engineered Software) to do the job in-house.
