Out in Front: July 4, 1996

Aspect Development's new Explore-Catalog search and classification system lets suppliers and distributors publish product catalogs on the Web. The system also lets users set up internal customer-response systems for marketing and support groups to answer product-catalog-related questions. Explore-Search lets users search by attribute, supplier, competing product, part number, description, and other categories. Price depends on size of config-uration and options and starts at $40,000.
