PDM Automotive is honored to announce it has been selected by the Automotive Content Professional’s Network (ACPN) Committee. a community of the Auto Care Association, for a second year in a row to be its data judging partner for the 2020 ACPN Content Excellence Awards. The ACPN Content Excellence Awards recognize the best examples of electronic content and cataloging in the auto care industry.

This year, PDM Automotive will judge the 2020 Content Excellence Award category for “ACES and PIES Data.” This award is the highest recognized acknowledgement for data providers in the automotive industry towards the quality of their ACES and PIES data. In 2019, over 30 submissions were analyzed using the PDM technology with a total of over 7.2 million application records. #finallygreatdata #pdmautomotive #datamatters

  • CCPN Installer’s Choice: recognizes excellent business-to-business systems that are either web-based or client-side install (app) supported, which support business transactions; and
  • Receiver’s Choice: Industry leading data receivers recognize organizations that are supplying high quality content including ACES, PIES, digital assets and other customer specific formats.
