The interpretation of a buyer’s needs for a specific application and the subsequent selection of the optimum equipment to meet those needs is a complex process. It is also the first step in the front-end sales process; a step in which buyers and sellers continue to demand quicker, more optimized selections along with the resultant performance data.

The Intelliquip Selector™ is designed to deliver equipment selections optimized to meet or exceed those achieved by your most experienced product application engineers, while accurately producing customized datasheets, predicted performance criteria, and product options that may be certified for manufacture.

Performance modifications due to application factors such as gas and liquid fluid properties (temperature, flow, head or pressure, specific gravity, viscosity, etc.), rotational speed, metallurgy, clearances, sealing methods and other available, customizable configuration options are considered. Proprietary performance calculation methods are also available.

Internet enablement allows your sales force, product application engineers, distributors and your alliance partners to quickly and accurately evaluate many alternative selections and also access product performance, technical data and other information 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This software is designed to fully replace any and all internal tools (legacy selectors, price books, spread sheets) presently used in your product selection process.

The selection process for fluid handling equipment differs between product types (blowers, compressors, filters, heat exchangers, pumps, seals, isolation valves, control valves and auxiliary equipment). Intelliquip has developed a selection software platform which can be applied across most types of fluid handling equipment. The following features are meant to give a high level overview of typical pump selection functionality. For more specifics on selection capabilities with other fluid handling equipment, contact Intelliquip.
