PIM for Automotive Parts
Manage part numbers, fitment data, and technical specifications. Built for automotive complexity.
Automotive Data Challenges
Without Apimio
Fitment Data Nightmares
Year/Make/Model compatibility data is incomplete or incorrect. Customers order parts that don't fit, driving returns and chargebacks.
ACES/PIES Compliance
Retailers and marketplaces require ACES/PIES formatted data. Manual compliance is time-consuming and error-prone.
Interchange Complexity
Parts cross-reference to multiple OE numbers and competitor part numbers. Managing these relationships is critical but overwhelming.
Technical Documentation Gaps
Installation guides, torque specs, and technical diagrams are scattered or missing. Customers need this information to install correctly.
Kit & Bundle Management
Parts often sell as kits with multiple components. Managing kit contents, included hardware, and "what fits what" is complex.
High Return Rates
15-25% of automotive parts are returned due to fitment issues. Each return costs $15-30 in processing and restocking.
