ELECTRONIC CATALOGING DATA FOR THE PERFORMANCE PARTS AND ACCESSORIES AFTERMARKET

DCi established its Electronic Cataloging Division in 1997 as a result of its involvement in setting industry standards for aftermarket electronic cataloging. This division’s services allow performance and accessory parts manufacturers to provide part number/application data, sales transaction data, images and supporting documents electronically to their distribution channel customers.

ALL-CHANNELS^SM SIMPLIFIES YOUR ELECTRONIC CATALOGING DELIVERIES

The ALL-Channels electronic catalog simplifies your electronic cataloging deliveries. Briefly put, DCi takes your parts and application fitment data, in whatever formats that currently exist, and develops a standardized electronic cataloging database that can then be used to service ALL your customers in ALL CHANNELS. That means the “Enter Once — Service EVERYBODY!” ALL-Channels^SM electronic catalog is created once. Data entry takes place just one time. Then when one of your customers has a unique requirement, the ALL-Channels is used to create the specific electronic catalog or data files that meet their delivery needs.

Another way to understand the incredible power of the ALL-Channels electronic catalog: you no longer need to create individual electronic data and cataloging fitment databases for every customer, from “scratch”. And this includes being able to supply backward-compatible data to AAIA approved standards. This process not only saves your company hundreds of man-hours, but thousands of dollars by eliminating the need to reinvent an electronic catalog every time you need to supply your parts and application data to a customer.

ALL-Channels - The division’s cornerstone service is its Enter Once Service EVERYBODY! ALL-Channels electronic catalog. ALL-Channels gives a manufacturer a universally applicable cataloging database and allows the manufacturer to provide electronic cataloging data to any of the e-cat networks used throughout the automotive aftermarket.
