Troy, NY — November 19, 2009 — Engineering search engine GlobalSpec has launch a new set of workflow management tools aimed at giving industrial professionals a single place to access, manage and save all of their vital work-related information from GlobalSpec.com.

The expanded suite of tools within the My GlobalSpec platform includes My Suppliers, which gives professionals the ability to create a list of suppliers for reference and sharing, including e-mail address, phone number and Web site. Users can choose to add individual companies from their personal list of suppliers or make additions using GlobalSpec's directory of some 148,000 companies, all of which come complete with contact information.

My Parts offers the ability for professionals to save products found on GlobalSpec or entered from their own sources for their project needs, including a list of parts used in designs and detailed catalog specs for parts saved from GlobalSpec; users can also access GlobalSpec to contact suppliers for additional application and pricing information.

Elsewhere, My Projects allows users to plan, manage and track product discovery and vendor sourcing for their projects, and My GlobalSpec also offers industrial professionals the ability to customize their GlobalSpec home page with news and information of importance to them.

Users can choose to display information from a number of categories, including recent GlobalSpec product searches, top engineering news tailored to a variety of different industry interests and relevant discussions on CR4, GlobalSpec's online peer-to-peer community for industrial professionals.

"The features and functionality now available to our registered users via My GlobalSpec give engineering, industrial and technical professionals a simple and time-saving way to organize their work-related projects and information," said Tim Carroll, vice president of Web site management and user marketing for GlobalSpec. "With the variety of workflow management tools and relevant industry content, My GlobalSpec is a unique tool for professionals who are looking to manage all aspects of product discovery and sourcing activity more efficiently."
