Currently, ThomasNet plans on introducing the service to a select number of customers as a value-added feature. "We're delighted to provide this free service to our clients to help them better measure the quality traffic they are enjoying from ThomasNet.com," said Pat Daloisio, Director of Strategic Initiatives, Thomas Industrial Network.
"We know that more than 9 out of 10 industrial buyers go online first when looking for products and services. A good portion of our clients' business is initiated online, and completed offline. This is difficult to track for anyone," continued Daloisio. "eStara tracks every phone call generated, which gives our clients a complete picture of ROI."
