For industrial equipment manufacturers, selling complex products online is not easy and selling through distributors is getting more and more crowded. These companies need new ways to sell that helps them standout, better educate their customers, and streamline their online sales channels.

At the same time, 95% of products are designed in CAD/3D before ever manufacturing, but companies have not been able to unlock these 3D assets for the rest of the company because of the complexity and cost required of an engineering time.

3MERA sits in between engineering and marketing teams, unlocking the use of CAD for the rest of the company. With no-code customization tools, no engineer time need, interactive parts catalogs, integrated commerce, and real-time tracking, 3MERA enhances the brand experience and accelerates the sales process for industrial product manufacturers.
