Specsources Ends Support of its
Manufacturer Catalog Library
ATLANTA, GA – November 14, 2005 -- Specsources,
Inc., a leading provider of interior design furniture specification solutions,
announced today that it will no longer support it’s third party commercial
manufacturer catalog library.
“After polling many of our users and re-evaluating
our core business, we have made the decision to concentrate on expanding our
commercial and hospitality furniture specification tools and to move away from
the business of managing manufacturers catalog information. We will still keep our over 100,000
pieces of spec data and CAD symbols for reference only until 2006.” Commented
Wade Ballance, Vice President of Operations. He continued, “Our original model was to
become a one-stop source for commercial furniture product information as well as
developing tools around the data.
As the number of small to mid-size furniture manufacturers has increased
and an across the board standard in electronic data has not become widely used,
we have received feedback from our users that over 95% of the time, they are
entering their own information into their custom library and not using our stock
data.”
Specsources will continue to expand upon its
current product offering which now includes web-based specification tools for
both the commercial and hospitality industry.
“Our hospitality tool has gained tremendous
acceptance and we are continuing to build upon its functionality”, commented
Wade Ballance. He continued,
“Because we offer firm specific customization of both our hospitality and
commercial applications, we can build tools around the exact business processes
that a firm currently uses.”
