The Automotive Content Professionals Network (ACPN), a community of the Auto Care Association, announced the winners of this year’s ACPN Content Excellence Awards at its annual Knowledge Exchange Conference, which took place in May during the Auto Care Association’s Auto Care Connect event in Orlando, Fla. The Content Excellence Awards recognize best-in-class examples of data standards (ACES and PIES) use and compliance, as well as electronic cataloging and content in B2C and B2B platforms in the automotive aftermarket.
This category is for catalog application lookup that is purely browser-based (websites) and does not require any special client-side app to be installed.
This award is presented by the Car Care Professionals Network (CCPN), a community of the Auto Care Association, in conjunction with the ACPN Content Excellence Awards. This category is for business-to-business systems that are either web-based or client-side install (app) supported.
This category is intended to recognize excellent source data. This award judges ACES and PIES files on a variety of criteria that ACPN deems as essential when creating best-in-class ACES and PIES data.
The Receiver’s Choice Award recognizes organizations that are supplying high- quality content including ACES, PIES, digital assets and other customer specific formats. Honorees are selected by content receivers who support ACPN for their exemplary content and are leading the way in integrity, accuracy, timeliness, completeness, best practices and other proprietary specific judging criteria.
