TODL Exceeds 40,000 A & D Professionals in Membership
May 20, 2008

TODL.com, (Trade Only Design Library, Inc.), approved their 40,000^th member today, hitting a significant milestone in the A & D industry.

"I truly believe that TODL has lasted the test of time due to the fact that we have remained true to our original goal: an exclusive, online, password-protected product research library that provides buyers and specifiers with limitless product options for their projects, significantly cutting their research time while increasing profits," said Stacey Tiveron, Founder and CEO.

The main objective for any design project is finding the right product within the parameters set by the design professional. These include product style, quality, price and lead time.

Prior to the launch of TODL, design professionals had to maintain large design libraries filled with catalogs and brochures that constantly needed building, maintaining and updating. In addition to being extremely wasteful of precious resources and costly for manufacturers, it often seemed that one would find that perfect product - a month too late.

TODL has spent more than a decade building its library, hand data-entering each product. The result is a resource where professional buyers and specifiers can search from more than 200,000 products from over 1000 manufacturers and get search results at the product level. This allows TODL members to see a large variety of product options (with complete specifications) from several manufacturers instantly, without having to download numerous catalogs, PDF’s or visit multiple websites.

For manufacturers, listing on TODL keeps their products in front of decision makers at the most crucial time - the moment of research and specification. As recently commented by John Barnes of Sunburst Shutters, "If you’re interested in reaching qualified buyers... TODL is the only place to be."

TODL currently sees more than 10,000 professional logins every week, with over 5,000 active project folders at any time and more than 500,000 product images downloaded every week.
