NAPA has been awarded Premier Data Supplier (PDS) status by TecDoc, a leading information platform for the automotive aftermarket industry. This accreditation applies to NAPA operations in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Iberia, France, and Benelux.
What is TecDoc Premier Data Supplier Status?
TecDoc sets the standard for high-quality product data in the automotive aftermarket. PDS is the highest level of data quality achievable within the TecDoc system. To achieve this status, NAPA underwent a rigorous process to ensure its product data meets the most stringent accuracy and completeness requirements. This includes additional data validations and adherence to specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
How was this Achieved?
The credit for achieving PDS status goes to NAPA’s parent company, Alliance Automotive Group’s (AAG) expert Vehicle Data Team (VDT). This dedicated team is responsible for managing and maintaining NAPA’s TecDoc catalogue, ensuring it is accurate, comprehensive, and rich in detail. Their hard work and commitment to data quality have demonstrably elevated NAPA’s data standards.
Significance of PDS Status
Only a select group of data suppliers (approximately 33%) meet the stringent criteria for PDS status. NAPA’s achievement reflects its commitment to providing accurate and reliable information to customers across Europe.
Benefits for NAPA Customers
NAPA’s PDS status translates into several benefits for its customers:
- Improved Parts Identification: More accurate and detailed data in the TecDoc catalogue allows for more precise parts identification, streamlining the process of finding the correct parts for specific vehicles.
- Enhanced Efficiency: NAPA’s recent switch to TecDoc Instant Data Processing (IDP) further improves efficiency. With IDP, catalogue updates are implemented the following working day, ensuring customers have access to the most up-to-date information.
NAPA’s achievement of PDS status with TecDoc demonstrates its dedication to data quality and providing a superior customer experience across Europe.
