The problem with your comparison to Amazon is that the scale of products offered on Amazon is completely different.
A catalogue system like this is only viable if the number of products is relatively small, as appears to be the case of mcmaster-carr.
- stingrae 4y agoMcMaster has >700,000 products available on its website so I wouldn’t really call that relatively small. It is more segmented than what Amazon offers.
- mmmmpancakes 4y agoAmazon has roughly 350 MM products if you account for third party sellers, so yeah, the scale is massively different.
- ckemere 4y agoMaybe a related big difference is that McMaster Carr actually know what they sell?
