What are catalogue data services?

Catalogue data services are a range of tailored data manipulation and maintenance services designed to help parts manufacturers improve the quality of the data that is published in MAM's Autocat parts catalogue. Thousands of garages and motor factors rely on Autocat to specify the parts they sell and fit, so accurate up-to-date product information is essential. Catalogue data conversion services can help component suppliers convert, manipulate and report on their data to ensure that the highest quality information is published.

Data Maintenance

Ongoing maintenance to keep information up-to-date. Includes regular checks against MMI updates to ensure new models are catered for.

Product cross referencing

The mapping of supplier part numbers against competitors' or OEM products. Helps catalogue users find a replacement for a known product.
