When those two come together online, automotive websites become unstoppable and dominate automotive parts sales. We have seen staggering changes within the ecommerce business lately, especially with the recent COVID-19 challenges.

Data-Driven Ecommerce Platform Built for ACES and PIES Data

Product data is the foundation of all automotive industry websites. Finding what you are looking for as fast as possible is essential in digital commerce.  The automotive industry is built upon product data via the ACES and PIES data structure. What is ACES and PIES?  Why is it important to your ecommerce website?

So, what is PIES?  PIES stands for Product Information Exchange Standard. This is a standard derived by the Auto Care Association that is embraced by the automotive aftermarket in North America. Essentially, PIES data is the general product information for a product. PIES is a structure for all attributes related to a single auto part or a kit of parts. PIES is made up of attributes such as color, size, weight, dimensions, packaging, and related information. PIES data does not contain vehicle fitment.

Vehicle fitment is made simple with ACES. The ACES acronym stands for the Aftermarket Catalog Exchange Standard. ACES is a catalog of all the fitment related to automotive parts. ACES data is the link between the part and what vehicle it fits on. ACES is what allows consumers to complete Year/Make/Model website searches.

The ACES standard is based on mapping parts to the Vehicle Configuration Database (VCdb). The VCdb is a relation database of all vehicles, including all configurations such as sub-models in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. By connecting the right part to the right vehicle, we can ensure that a part will fit on a consumer’s car. The ACES standard simplifies Year, Make, Model searches on today’s modern ecommerce websites.

Automotive industry manufacturing companies produce their respective aftermarket auto parts with data in the ACES and PIES data structure. This then allows retailers to use ACES and PIES data to uniformly catalog data from multiple manufacturers in a standardized format. By leveraging ACES and PIES data to power your ecommerce website, it will increase the speed at which you can list new products and brands on your website. The automotive industry standard data will also increase the efficiency of updating existing product data and also pricing.
