Castrol go online with new directory
A powerful new online version of Castrol marine’s comprehensive directory of marine services (DMS) will be going live in December
The new publication will allow customers to get the complete and most up to date information on all ports and product availability offered by the lubricant supplier at any time of day, 365 days a year.
The established paper brochure version of DMS was developed to allow customers to check product availability at each port served and details of that product (including lead time, bulk, minimum order required, etc.). In launching a web-based version of DMS, Castrol Marine has been able to add significant content and capability to the information guide.
“As well as being updateable at any time, the online version of DMS will include greater published availability of products, because supply will be linked to stock points instead of port class,” said Jonathan Hutchinson, marine marketing manager, Castrol.
“Furthermore, the DMS will be a single point of access for all up to date ‘material data safety sheets and product data sheets’ for all products. The online version offers capacity for additional notes on ports and contact details for supply, as well as the latest information on expected lead times,” Mr Hutchison continued.
In addition, Castrol will increase the number of ports offering the company’s full product range, which will be clearly visible to customers using the DMS. Configured for use on PCs, mobile telephones and tablets, the online DMS is supported by Google maps.
