Environmental Expert launches industrial application search, a first for online B2B marketplaces

MADRID - July 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Environmental Expert (www.environmental-expert.com), an online B2B publication & marketplace for environmental industry professionals operated by XPRT Media, is pleased to announce the addition of a search by industrial application feature that gives industrial buyers an easier way to access the portal’s growing catalog of over 130,000 solutions, ranging from equipment to software to professional services.

The industrial application search allows environmental industry professionals with buying power to specify the problem they need to solve and the industry they belong to in order to find the right solution from among a database that now includes over 33,000 suppliers from around the world.

“The industrial application search simply offers our users an alternative, and in many cases easier, method to sort through our catalog of solutions,” says Maarten Van Donk, managing director and founder of XPRT Media. “It’s a search method you often find on our partner suppliers’ websites so it only made sense that we would offer the same convenience on Environmental Expert.”

Despite the fact that searching by applications on industrial supplier websites is no novelty, it is a first for industrial marketplaces like Environmental Expert that aggregate product & service catalogs from an array of industrial suppliers.

“Since each supplier sets up their industrial applications section in a different way,” says Mr. Van Donk, “it means the industrial buyer has to learn to navigate differently on each supplier website they come to. Our goal is to standardize how industrial applications are presented on the web and, in so doing, provide users with a much easier way to discover and compare solutions from a variety of suppliers...and save lots of time. If no other online marketplace offers this option, it’s because it’s not easy to set up and maintain, but we at XPRT Media see those challenges as opportunities to help the industry professionals we serve.”

Environmental Expert serves environmental engineers, environmental consultants and environmental managers working in the largest polluting industries, such as power, mining, chemical & pharmaceuticals, municipalities & more. The Environmental Expert platform lists solutions that include air pollution control & compliance, energy efficiency, renewable energy, EHS compliance, water & groundwater treatment, waste management, and environmental monitoring & testing.
