About this session
Parts identification is rarely as simple as it should be.
Teams rely on multiple sources—internal catalogs, competitor data, PDFs, spreadsheets, and legacy systems—each structured differently. The same part can be described in multiple ways, with inconsistent naming, attributes, and formats. What should take seconds often takes hours.
As a result, quoting slows down, field teams struggle to find the right replacements, and opportunities are missed because the right part could not be identified in time.
Most teams try to solve this with better search or more documentation. But the problem is not access—it is the ability to understand and match parts across inconsistent data.
This webinar breaks down why traditional approaches fail and how manufacturers and distributors are solving this using AI.
Instead of relying on exact matches or manual lookup, AI evaluates multiple attributes—dimensions, materials, specifications, and context—to identify equivalent parts across systems and formats. Known matches move instantly. Uncertain matches are flagged and refined over time, improving accuracy continuously.
The result is a system where parts can be identified in seconds, not hours—enabling faster quoting, better decision-making, and the ability to capture opportunities that would otherwise be missed.
This session walks through how these systems work in practice, showing how organizations are reducing manual effort, improving accuracy, and accelerating revenue-generating workflows.
