Franklin Electric Launches Simple-To-Use Pump Sele

FORT WAYNE, IN--(Marketwired - Jun 20, 2017) -   Franklin Electric Co., Inc. ( NASDAQ : FELE ) recently launched FE Select™ , a digital pump selector software tool that makes product selection, configuration, and quoting easy for contractors and distributors. This online tool walks the user through the process from start to finish, requiring only the basic application data, such as flow and total dynamic head demands, to size many water systems. The software properly matches the components necessary for the desired application, provides a list price quote for the package, and then offers links to related informational product documentation. Wholesale users can quickly formulate a system package for their customers without the need for catalogs or verification from a Franklin Electric representative confirming that the quoted products are properly sized and compatible with the recommended primary components. Likewise, a contractor can generate a quote for the homeowner at list price, reducing waiting time and customer frustration. All Franklin Electric products will continue to be sold through licensed distributors, but now with FE Select, finding the appropriate products can be much easier.

Other features of FE Select include: 24/7 accessibility; a quick price option for selecting submersible motors, drives, and controls; and simple software navigation for quoting a complete pump package. A large selection of Franklin Electric products are already included in the software to quickly quote job requests serving the agricultural, irrigation, engineered products, and industrial markets. More products will continue to be added over time.

The FE Select link will appear on all applicable individual pump product pages on the Franklin Electric website. Users can simply click the link and start quoting. For more information on any product offering within Franklin Electric's product portfolio, visit www.franklinwater.com .
