CCI/Triad Announces PartExpert Database Partner Program; Program Provides More Rapid Access to Electronic Catalog Data

    AUSTIN, Texas--March 22, 2000--CCI/Triad today announced the PartExpert Database Partner Program, which is designed to improve the speed of distributing electronic catalog information and increase new part sales for manufacturers in the automotive aftermarket.
    "There's a lot of excitement surrounding this new program, because it is structured to dramatically improve catalog timeliness in the industry," said Mike Aviles, president of CCI/Triad. "The PartExpert Database Partner Program allows manufacturers to get their updated automotive aftermarket parts information distributed more rapidly, while maintaining unparalleled accuracy and usability."
    This initiative allows manufacturers to feed new parts information directly from their system into the CCI/Triad database via the CCI/Triad Valid Combination Tables. The CCI/Triad database contains quality audited data for more than 30 vehicle years entered in an efficient, user-friendly format. These valid tables dramatically reduce redundant parts entries and eliminate unnecessary customer inquiry screens, speeding access to the desired parts data.
    So far, Aviles said the program has gotten enthusiastic reviews from manufacturers.
    "We are very excited and support CCI/Triad with any program that accelerates the release of electronic catalog information to our customers," said Kevin Judge, vice president, Dana Brake and Chassis. "We stand ready and willing to work with the PartExpert Database Partner Program for the betterment of our customers and the industry."
