Automate overview

Automate is a suite of tools that helps component suppliers significantly improve the quality of their product data and become self-sufficient in publishing information to MAM’s Autocat+ parts catalogue. Incorporating MAM’s unique Makes and Models Index (MMI), Automate enables suppliers to develop a consistent data structure that improves catalogue matching and increases customer confidence. Automate can verify a supplier’s data, produce reject reports and help them perform gap analysis. It also highlights new UK vehicle models and facilitates the conversion of data from European sources.

Automate application

Automate is an application that takes suppliers’ catalogue data and prepares it for publication in Autocat+. Bulk product data is imported and verified against the Makes & Models Index (MMI) before being previewed and scheduled for the next hourly upload. The application will provide reject reports for incorrect data and can perform a gap analysis to identify potential improvements. Automate can also process and upload images, cross-reference data and product bulletins.

MAM Software Makes & Models Index (MMI)

MMI is a valuable resource that enables component suppliers to reference their catalogue data against the most comprehensive, accurate database of UK-specific vehicles available. Matching product data to the MMI’s ‘unique identifier’ ID number provides greater accuracy for vehicle lookups within the Autocat+ parts catalogue. It also provides a means of performing product gap analysis and is particularly useful for identifying new vehicle models or converting data from European sources.

Catalogue Data Tool (CDT)

CDT helps component suppliers ensure that their customers have access to the latest, most accurate product and fitment information. It allows suppliers to perform their own real-time changes to their data that appears in Autocat+. New product additions and fitment amendments can be verified, previewed and instantly published to Autocat+ users.
