AutoCare – ACPN (Automotive Catalog Professionals Network), the recognized industry association body for US automotive parts data, has  released two standards ACES (Automotive Catalog Exchange Standard) and PIES  (Parts Information Exchange Standard). 

These standards ensure that parts information can be seamlessly exchanged across the entire automotive parts distribution network.  These standards are increasingly being used by manufacturers and re-sellers alike. There are also large resellers (both brick and mortar stores and pure play eCommerce retailers) who have their own modified version of parts information standards.  They are also called receivers. They might insist that the manufacturer / supplier provide parts data in their specific standards  for ease of integration with their IT systems.

If you have traditional printed catalogs or static pdf / e-zine catalogs, then you may require to transform these catalogs to the needs of your receivers.
