The Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) has played a key role in compressing the time required to publish and deliver accurate data, by establishing a modern, highly effective data standard — the AAIA Catalog Enhanced Standard (ACES).
Next-Step Solution: Timely Conversion to the ACES Standard
Although ACES is a major step forward for the automotive aftermarket, mapping to the new standard can itself be very difficult and time intensive. The Activant Data Mapping Services can help dramatically reduce the time and hassles required to perform the advanced data conversions required by ACES. This important service, in turn, allows industry suppliers to focus their internal resources on producing quality core data.
An ACES Mapping Breakthrough
Activant Data Mapping Services has partnered with Winsby Group, LLC, lead architect of the ACES delivery specification, in leveraging an exclusive technology that dramatically accelerates not only the conversion of AAIA legacy data, but a manufacturer’s core data as well. The resulting high-quality ACES-compliant output files ensure the widest possible industry acceptance — without the aggravation, time and added expense associated with other conversion techniques.
Software Licensing Also Available
Activant also offers AceMapper, an exclusive software licensing solution, for manufacturers with existing in-house data conversion expertise. AceMapper provides the technology and power required for high quality data cleansing, conversions, and net-change management that fits into your current e-catalog production workflow.
