SparePartsPlace Viewer 2.0

The Spare Parts business is essentially an important area for all suppliers of devices, machinery and equipment. At the same time the providing of needed documentation causes high costs: drawings must be created, supplemented with meta-data and provided in digital or printed form - this is a time-, resource- and cost factor not to be underestimated.
