Whether you sell parts or systems, there are multiple ways buyers and sellers refer to and source product. SUN Microsystems, for example, uses X option numbers in marketing quotes, while maintenance engineers use 7 digit part numbers for the same item. For example an X5237A 18GB disk will have multiple part numbers associated with it; just one is 390-0068.
Samsung is the OEM of a 14” LCD screen part number LTN141X8-L02. Samsung manufactures it for both IBM and Dell and each uses their own part numbers such as: 11P8292, 978ET, 11P8293, 11P8289, 0F068, 1164X, 11P8297, 7U126, 11P8359--as you can see, the same part is known by at least 10 different part numbers.
Maintenance and service technicians drive part requests. When technicians remove a bad part, they view the part number on the actual part or they view the manufacturers’ documentation to derive the part number for purchasing.
Without Maxlist, your part is listed as a single IBM part number, so you may miss the request for any part number other than what you own, Dell, IBM or Samsung. In this case, your chance of showing the needed part is about 10%. Maxlist expands your listings to include substitutes for the parts you own--increasing your chances of showing the correct part number for a “hit” to achieve 100% in any online equipment exchange search, or within your own E-commerce store listings.
