Researching automotive aftermarket industry parts just became a whole lot more convenient, with the announcement and availability of OptiCat’s VIN Lookup to the “OnLine Parts Catalog,” located at www.opticatonline.com.

OptiCat OnLine provides, Suppliers, WDs, Jobbers, Professional Repair shops, and Consumers with a great place to go for quality auto parts research for four key reasons:

  • Freshest Data: Data reaches the intended marketplace in a few hours from its arrival at the OptiCat Data Repository directly from suppliers. This provides suppliers and data receivers with “world class” Speed-To-Market!

  • Cleaner Data: Suppliers that use OptiCat’s OnTarget Pro validation tools carefully test their ACES data before it enters the OptiCat Data Repository. This means suppliers that use these tools can be confident their data will be accepted by their customers’ cataloging systems, it is the best, most consistent data available for populating catalog systems at all distribution levels of the transportation parts industries.

  • All the Data: Data provided by OptiCat to data receivers includes all the information the supplier deems relevant to the part and vehicle.

  • The addition of VIN lookup to the OnLine Catalog gives catalog users another convenient way to search supplier data for specific vehicles, thus making the parts research experience even better!

Bryan Thueson, Chief Operating Officer of OptiCat, said, "The industry leading OptiCat OnLine Parts Research Catalog continues to grow and will continue to feature added improvements in features and functionality. The addition of VIN Lookup will help the Professional Repair Shops, WD’s, Jobbers and Consumers get relevant and accurate parts information quicker and easier.”

 

“Since its introduction at the AAPEX Show in 2014, the interest in the OnLine Parts Research Catalog has been outstanding” said Charley Johnson, Chief Executive Officer of OptiCat, “This catalog will continue to push the boundaries of functionality, speed to market, and ease of use and data quality as we move forward. If you are a distributor or shop and aren’t using this great catalog site, now featuring VIN look-up capabilities, to insure that you have the freshest and best part information, you are missing a great opportunity!”
