Automotive Aftermarket ACES & PIES Consulting

In the aftermarket, catalog data is the product. Fitment gaps cost you sales you never see, and bad content gets you delisted. We treat ACES and PIES as measurable assets with coverage, quality and revenue attached.

Talk aftermarket data

Signs you need this

Receivers keep rejecting your ACES or PIES submissions.

You cannot state your fitment coverage as a percentage.

Wrong-part returns are treated as a cost of doing business.

Interchange and competitor coverage are unknown.

Each channel demands a different hand-built file.

What we do

ACES fitment strategy

Application data structure, validation against VCdb, qualifier discipline, and a defensible coverage measure.

Coverage & gap analysis

Which applications you are missing, weighted by vehicles in operation and demand — gaps ranked by what they are worth.

PIES content quality

Attributes, packaging, hazmat, digital assets, descriptions and extended content scored for completeness and consistency.

Catalog health scorecards

A standing measure by brand, line and receiver, with automated exception reporting on what broke this week.

Interchange & assortment

Interchange quality, competitive coverage comparison, new-item and lifecycle analytics across the line.

Data exchange & process

Distributor and manufacturer exchange, receiver-specific requirements, and a submission process that stops being heroic.

What you get

Coverage and content quality stated as numbers you can report to a receiver.

A ranked fitment gap list with demand weighting.

Scorecards and exception reports that keep running after the project.

Common questions

Do you build the fitment data for us?

We do strategy, quality, coverage and process — and we will work with your cataloging team or data provider on the build itself.

Manufacturer or distributor side?

Both, plus aftermarket e-commerce sellers. The obligations differ; the underlying data discipline does not.

Bring us the messy data.

Whichever practice fits, the first step is the same: one conversation about what is actually broken.
