First annual industry-wide campaign to update CROSSMASTER-HD

continued from What's New at Karmak?
<BACK


Suppliers responded with thousands of lines of cross-reference data
We received thousands of lines of cross-reference data from the participating heavy-duty industry suppliers listed below:

Automann Fram LuberFiner
Bendix Gates Neapco
Chicago Rawhide Gent-L-Kleen Precision Rebuilders
Cole Hersee Great Lakes Parts S & S Truck Parts
Dayton Parts Haldex Brake Systems Sloan Transportation
Delco Remy IMT Spring Research Institute
Donaldson KIC Reyco Triangle Auto Spring
 

Other suppliers have indicated they hope to supply us with information shortly, however, we will need to close off processing new information around the middle of August. 

You may wish to contact your suppliers
You may wish to contact your suppliers either to say "Thank You" to those suppliers listed above or to encourage other suppliers to participate next year. We expect to send out request letters to suppliers again next May.

Use CROSSMASTER-HD to rebuild your own cross-reference file
Once CROSSMASTER-HD has been updated with new information, Karmak can assist you in using CROSSMASTER-HD to rebuild the original cross-reference file on your system. Although any custom cross references will need to be re-loaded, rebuilding your cross-reference file will allow your order entry people to find thousands of new part numbers for the suppliers listed quickly and easily. 

Updating and refining the data
We are now reformatting and organizing the thousands of lines of new data sent to us by suppliers over the past few weeks and merging them with the thousands of lines of data already in the CROSSMASTER-HD database. We are also refining and updating both the new and existing data with the proper supplier names and part number formats.

We expect to complete the CROSSMASTER-HD update in September.

Contact Kelly Taylor-Wilson (800-622-6311) for more information on CROSSMASTER-HD.
