BOUCHERVILLE, Quebec — Spectra Premium announce that it has Experian Automotive’s Vehicles in Operation (VIO) data to help advance its automotive aftermarket business by enabling stronger manufacturing and inventory supply decisions on a real-time basis.
The company says leveraging Experian’s VIO data will allow Spectra Premium to provide its customers with automated stocking guides that create inventory recommendations specific to each customer.
"At Spectra Premium, we’re very much a data-driven company. In our sector, today, there’s a real need for fresh, concise and accurate data, especially when it comes to an assortment mix solution,” said Jason Best, vice president of aftermarket sales and marketing for Spectra Premium. “Working with Experian Automotive on this key initiative will help our market partners maximize their store level inventory.”
Experian Automotive’s VIO data is updated within four weeks of the end of each quarter, ensuring that aftermarket organizations have the timeliest information available, the company says. This comprehensive information allows Spectra Premium to better manage inventory levels, efficiently plan for new part introductions, and better assess product offerings.
Spectra Premium will be discussing the launch of the automated stocking guides at AAPEX booth No. 3061. Experian Automotive also will be at the show in booth No. 230.
