Octopart search engine

Octopart is a search engine which lets you compare the prices and availability of electronic parts across different distributors.*
Octopart was started by two physics grad students who were tired of searching for identical electronic parts in lots of different catalogs. Our search engine is a work in progress and we appreciate comments and suggestions.
We are also interested in contacting distributors and manufacturers of electronic parts. Listing inventory and sending us data for display on the site is a very easy process.
Please contact us via email at contact@octopart.com.
* Octopart has an authorized relationship with all distributors featured on the site except for Allied Electronics, Digi-Key, H&R and Mouser. Data from Allied Electronics, Digi-Key, H&R and Mouser are aggregated from public sources.

Please review the "Octopart" Search engine. We would appreciate your view as to how fetch Solution might incorporate this engine as a tool within the fetch Solution.

TC- My immediate thought is to obtain pricing intelligence from the catalog guys for our own pricing schedule.
