Speedy sourcing - the latest buzzword

In a month when the French have decided to remove the cedilla from over 2,000 French language words ( to make it easier to read or to write?) we take a somwhat tongue in cheek view of the latest industry buzzwords and decide that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery ( Thanks Sir Stelios).

We prefer to associate the phrase with our updated site and new server performance. After a few months of bedding in and tweaking the Partfindermarine.com service is now running faster than ever so loading, listing and searching has never been faster. Less than 4 seconds to login, less than 3 seconds to run a database search less than a minute to load just over 1,000 line items. We think that is something to be really proud of.

If you have already registered then login today and check it out for yourselves, and if you haven't then here is a link to the registration page so that you can do so.

Parts - the ones that got away this month

It's been another fascinating month here at Partfindermarine.com

We managed to source a good few pieces of " unobtanium" for our clients, and our trading Company Gatwick Distribution Services Ltd ( "GDS") shipped a good quantity of items, there are always parts that even we cannot source. The one that got away this month was a requirement for an MAN NA048 T0770 turbocharger. We managed to locate a new rotor assembly and some spares but not the complete new or recon unit that our customer was looking for.

If you have parts sitting on a shelf why not consider either listing them on our parts database or upgrading to full " supplier" status with us so that at least you will be able to see these user requirements as they filter through.

Call  us on +44 1293 871767 or e-mail us for upgrade details and advice on how best to list your stock on the system.
