The new site is extremely rich in content, particularly product information, but also includes general information about the company, potential careers and company-related news. A password-protected Intranet is available to facilitate Human Resource’s communication with Prestolite employees. Secured Extranets include a Sales Resource Center for Prestolite’s sales force, a Distributor Resource Center for the company’s distribution partners and a Suppliers Center.

To simplify the navigation of the public areas of the site, the Home Page presents Prestolite’s product offerings into four major areas:

To ease the flow of pricing and delivery information, an interactive, online Request for Quotation (RFQ) form is offered for within all product categories and relates to both standard offerings and modifications to these standard products.

The site has also been designed to optimize search engine performance, making it easier to locate for those individuals unfamiliar with the extent of Prestolite’s offerings.
