ROBBCO PUMPS DEPLOYS SOFTWARE TO IMPROVE BUSINESS PROCESSES

Robbco Pumps Selects PUMP-FLO Solutions to Streamline
the Sale & Product Selection Process for its Turbine Product Line

December 13, 2004  Lacey, WA – PUMP-FLO Solutions (An Engineered Software Business), today announced that Robbco Pumps, a leading manufacturer of vertical and submersible turbine pumps, has deployed its PUMP-FLO Enterprise Windows and web-based software program to streamline the selection, quotation, and proposal generation process.

"Company’s that work with turbine products can appreciate the challenges surrounding the selection and quotation processes,” said Don Robb, President of Robbco Pumps. “These processes are time consuming and prone to many errors if not done correctly. By implementing the PUMP-FLO software we can now offer our customers and distributors the tools to save time, improve accuracy, and increase overall efficiencies. PUMP-FLO Solutions is clearly the best in their business, and we're pleased to be working with them to much added value and functionality throughout our organization."
"Robbco is a true industry innovator, providing exceptional products and services for the turbine market,” said Justin Johnson, Senior Product Manager for PUMP-FLO Solutions. "We are delighted to support this legacy, and to help Robbco better improve its business processes.
Users of the Robbco Pump Selector software can select, evaluate, and analyze centrifugal pumps using Robbco’s electronic pump catalogs. PUMP-FLO uses a powerful web-based search engine to select pumps that meet the user’s specific criteria. Selections are based on a number of user inputs such as system design point, fluid properties, motor sizing, and NPSH calculations. Once a dynamic pump curve is generated, users have the ability to trim impeller diameters, adjust operating speeds, and view/save electronic curves and data sheet reports in a PDF format. Supporting documentation such as product specifications, dimensional drawings, cutaway views and engineering specifications can also be generated.
Other powerful features include a Total Head Calculator and the ability to send electronic “Request for Quote” packages directly to Robbco’s sales office.
