Technical Resources Terra Universal maintains an electronic resource library that houses information on both distributed and manufactured products. Manuals, technical specification sheets, application notes, and white papers organized by product categories are available as open-source information on the critical-environment and lab-equipment websites. Additionally, Terra maintains a technical blog that discusses topics relevant to their products and represented industries, and publishes an e-newsletter that highlights industry research news, equipment specifications, and online tools. Online Tools and Services Terra Universal’s e-commerce portal operates in a PCI-compliant environment, and a quote system allows users to plan their budgets by submitting lists of products or customized specifications for cost estimates. The Company websites have an online reductive-logic product selector tool that guides users through specification- and application-based questions to arrive at products that meet the user’s criteria. From the selection results page, users can build individual models and side-by-side compare features and prices. Comparison results include product descriptions and images; if custom product configuration is necessary, users can utilize a System Builder tool to customize products with required and optional application-specific accessories.
