In addition to medical equipment, DOTmed.com is also the leading online exchange for medical equipment parts, connecting buyers and sellers through its Parts Hunter service.

It may seem a huge task to list parts online and DOTmed is striving to simplify parts shopping and sales through Parts Hunter.

"The best products are ones where you give the customers what they want. That's why we asked Parts Hunter users if there were ways to improve the system and there were. If you haven't seen it recently check out Parts Hunter now," said Robert Garment, Director of Marketing. "Now sellers' offers are visible only to buyers so the competition can't see what you're asking for parts and there's no public bidding war. This should all make sellers and buyers happier so they can sell more and buy more. If you are a seller, we can upload your parts list so you have more opportunities to sell to buyers."
As always if you are an upgraded seller your contact information is visible to the buyer. Also, the buyer can have their phone number visible so sellers can call within minutes of seeing a request for a part to speed transactions.

Parts Hunter is simple to use: Buyers tell DOTmed the parts they need. DOTmed then notifies all DOTmed Parts Sellers and creates a unique PartsHunter Page for the Buyer. Interested sellers make offers in a reverse auction format. The Buyer then chooses the best deal at any time.

Parts Sellers just enter the types of parts they stock and sell by using a checklist. When a Buyer posts a request for a part, the Seller is notified.

The October 2007 issue of DOTmed Business News features an industry report on parts and more than 100 businesses responded to DOTmed's online survey about that sector.
