The Receiver’s Choice Award honors organizations for excellence in electronic catalog data. Each year, Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper recognize a recipient who provides high-quality content, including Aftermarket Catalog Exchange Standards (ACES), Product Information Exchange Standard (PIES), digital assets, and other customer specific formats.
The 2021 award was presented by the Alliance’s AST eCatalog Manager Josh Hessling.
“Winhere has both quality products and quality data, and we are proud to honor them with this recognition,” said Dale E. Hopkins, vice president and chief information officer at the Alliance. “On behalf of Auto Value and Bumper to Bumper: Congratulations on this impressive feat.”
In order to be eligible for the award, Winhere was required to meet standards of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, consistency, delivery, communication, and more.
“Their content is consistently delivered when needed and meets all the requirements for true completeness,” Hessling said. “More than that, they are constantly cooperative and collaborative, working to improve how their products are represented, sold, and tracked.
ACPN is the only community in the automotive industry that exclusively focuses on the education and professional development needs of content management professionals and promotes industry technology standards and offers a forum for discussion within the industry. Its annual conference was held online May 17-19, 2021.
The ACPN helped to create the data principles of ACES and PIES. Through these efforts, auto care catalog manager members are able to sell more product, reduce costs, and increase efficiency through catalogs.
