Lacey,
WA - PUMP-FLO
Solutions, the leading provider of software solutions to
the fluid handling industry, today announced that Sulzer
Pumps, a global industrial pump manufacturer, has deployed
a private branded version of its ePUMP-FLO web-based
software, named SulzerSelect. Sulzer Pumps has implemented the ePUMP-FLO software
cooperate-wide to streamline the pump selection process
for its global network of customers and sales reps. |
|
After the initial success of a pilot program for the Sulzer Pumps North
America, it was determined that Sulzer would incorporate
its global product line into the full featured ePUMP-FLO
web-based software platform.
|
| “At Sulzer, we decided to
retain PUMP-FLO Solution’s ePUMP-FLO software as a means
to improve efficiencies,” said Marie Thaler, North
American Marketing Manager, Sulzer Pumps. “Our sales and
operations people today do a great job of responding to
our customers’ needs, but we wanted to give them a
system that was more flexible and allowed them to easily
select and configure pumps. After a thorough review of the
vendor landscape, PUMP-FLO was the clear choice based on
functionality, ease of use, and overall price. The
ePUMP-FLO system also significantly accelerated our time
to market.” |
|
"As a company known for their technological innovation, we are
pleased that Sulzer Pumps has selected and successfully
implemented our ePUMP-FLO solution," said
Justin Johnson
,
Product Manager, PUMP-FLO Solutions. “By leveraging our
ePUMP-FLO web-based technology, Sulzer is providing
customers and sales reps with a secure web-based platform
to deliver fast, measurable results.”

|
Users of the ePUMP-FLO software can select, evaluate, and analyze
centrifugal pumps using the Sulzer’s electronic pump
catalogs. ePUMP-FLO uses a powerful web-based search
engine to select all the pumps that meet the user’s
specific criteria, from which, they can select the best
pump for the application. After searching the chosen
catalog, ePUMP-FLO then creates a list of pumps meeting
the desired criteria. Pump curves can then be displayed
for comparison and evaluation.
|
|
PUMP-FLO software is currently used by over 75 pump manufacturers and
65,000 customers in various industries.
