DRiV Incorporated Receives Two Catalog Awards from NAPA and ACPN
Content Teams Recognized for Cataloging, ACES and PIES
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 14, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The DRiV™ Americas Product Content team recently received two awards from the National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA) and the Automotive Content Professionals Network (ACPN) for excellence in cataloging and for its Walker® CARB Converter catalog.
At the NAPA Vendor Summit, held earlier this year in Atlanta, the DRiV team won an award for Leadership and Excellence in Cataloging for 2018. This award is given annually to the company that exhibits a commitment to excellence in providing high-quality, timely product content to support the customer at the point of sale.
DRiV also earned a Content Excellence Award from ACPN during the 2019 Knowledge Exchange Conference in Tampa, FL. The content team was recognized for achieving the highest score in ACES (Aftermarket Catalog Exchange Standard) and PIES (Product Information Exchange Standard) for the Walker CARB Converter data set. The Walker CARB Converter ACES and PIES xml files were recognized in the medium-sized catalog category based on eight criteria within each of three application-count brackets. High-quality, timely product content plays a vital role in helping aftermarket channel partners identify and sell the correct parts for each vehicle and repair occasion.
"It is very important to provide our customers with the most complete and accurate product content solutions for our products across all of our industry-leading brands," said Jason Riegel, director, Americas product content. "We are committed to helping our channel partners succeed, and I thank our team for their diligence and the hard work that went in to earning these awards."
