DIY vs. DIFM

Your PDM account allows you to generate and audit data yourself, validated against the Auto Care Association’s ACES and PIES structure and compliant to your receiver’s requirements. Whether you build data in house, use our service or a service provider, with a PDM account you are always assured your data represents your products properly.

You would never print a paper catalog and send it out without reviewing. Don’t do that with your product data either! A PDM account visualizes complex product data for you!

Algorithms & Workflow Management

Algorithms guide you through the process of generating your product data. Your PDM account intuitively adapts and learns relevant data points to describe your products. For every additional product you add or change, the necessary steps become easier and faster – in turn, helping you generate consistent, high-quality data tailored to your needs. Various elements, such as specific description types can be generated automatically. With PDM, your entire team works with the same data and receives tailored instructions to supply relevant and consistent data points.

Live Validation

Your PDM account gives you live feedback, while you are working. Besides always being compliant with the Auto Care Association’s databases (no separate Auto Care subscription necessary) you get feedback on the requirements of your receivers. Instead of waiting on a health report, instantly know how you comply with scorecards like Platinum SDC (no affiliation); meet the demands from warehouse distributors like SUMMIT Racing or Motor State, and marketplaces like eBay and Amazon; and most importantly, support your customers to sell more of your products.

Mass Imports

Add new products and change data points in bulk with mass imports via Excel. Update thousands of prices, add new applications or descriptions within minutes. All imports are validated while importing in real time, with a detailed report for you to make necessary corrections.

Add & Copy Products easily

Easily add new products to your catalog by copying existing products or creating new products from scratch. After adding products, make them available to your receivers instantly.
