If a reseller is requesting our product information in PIES format, what does it mean when I'm being asked to fill out a loadsheet, too?

We understand how confusing and frustrating this can be. Loadsheets, that may also be called Merchandiser Sheets, are often used by larger resellers where processing product information through PIES XML datasets by a data team may be separate from the sales and category managers. This occurs when required information is outside the accommodations of the PIES content.

Most common fields outside the Standard include: contracted pricing, hazardous material specifics, market segmentation, battery information, reseller specific SKU reference, etc.

SEMA Certified-Emissions and improvements to the PIES Emission Codes help clarify and protects you and your customers.

With the EPA cracking down on our industry, it's never been more important to work with SEMA Garage and SEMA Data to ensure your parts have the documentation and codification necessary to convey proper use.

Proper cataloging of your parts will offer you and your customers protection from the EPA wanting to impose fines for misuse or negligence.

The SEMA Garage offers emission compliance support through its recently introduced SEMA Certification-Emissions program which certifies that a product meets the EPA’s “reasonable basis” criteria making it legal for sale in 49-states, or obtaining a California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order (EO) makes it legal in all 50 states. Being able to accelerate compliance through SEMA Garage will give you the ability to get products to the market faster.

Collaborate data management with SEMA Data PartsHub

Many of us live in a business model where staff and stakeholders could work on different aspects of your business. This can result in information that is in different formats and places as work could be siloed. You may have critical information on your website, in catalogs, and in business systems. How do you manage the big picture of information consistency and security?

It's easy to get lost in the alphabet soup and vernacular of our industry. Here are a few definitions of those you'll run across. This is a continuing article so as new terms are introduced, you can come back to reference them here.

Please contact us for anything you do not see and we'll be happy to include for the benefit of everyone!

Create a Pricing Policy that is Unique to your Company
Spend some time creating a Pricing Policy that is easy to understand. Simplify the legal jargon by introducing checklists and briefs.

HSP Cold Air Intake 2013-2016 Chevrolet/GMC Satin Black – Part No. 502-2-HSP-SB
The HSP Diesel HSP Cold Air Intake on average produces an additional 20 horsepower and 58 pounds of torque on the dyno. To do this we increased the size of the factory intake to a 4 ½” mandrel-bent tube. This gives you an extremely consistent, and free-flowing path that enables the HSP Cold Air Intake to out-perform other intakes on the market. The HSP Cold Air Intake is also paired with the HSP Diesel style heatshield box. The heatshield box allows us to keep the heated-up engine air out of the intake. We want this because cooler air is more dense and denser air creates more power.

ACES bed type update VCdb removes Styleside Stepside

Auto Care updated the VCdb for bed type configuration table.

As you may know, SEMA Data subscribes to Auto Care's Vehicle Configuration Database (VCdb) to help you create ACES records (i.e., vehicle fitment data for your parts). The database is updated every month and each month there are always updates and changes to be aware of and remap your data if needed.

The latest change in the VCdb has done away with the "Styleside" and "Flareside" bed type options. Styleside was a marketing term used by Ford for its regular flat-sided bed on their pickup trucks; and Flareside was used for beds with the wheel well arches on the outside of the bed, leaving the interior cargo box area of the bed perfectly rectangular.

Auto Care uses the term "fleetside" to describe truck bed option with the flat-sided exterior and wheel well arches within the carbo box area, and "stepside" for the truck bed option with the wheel well arches outside the cargo box area.

A message to Vibrant Performance's vendors from Deryck Griffith, Director of Sales and Marketing:

The Covid-19 era for us at Vibrant Performance has been whirlwind, and the last 7-8 months have been the most difficult.

Like many, we have struggled to manage all aspects involving our supply chain; most especially, the sharp increase in cost to move product and our material costs, which have climbed sharply since the start of this calendar year.

Ideally, we would’ve already presented you with price increases, but the goalposts on our all of our accumulated costs has shifted dozens of times these first three quarters of 2021. As such, we opted to delay on a price increase to enable us the time necessary to get a solid grasp on the new realities of where our accumulated costs have now settled to, along with not burdening you, our customer, with an array of multiple price increase throughout Covid-19.

Now that a stabilization is starting to be seen within all aspects of supply chain, it is now time to update our prices and these new prices went active on September 1st, 2021... We’ve also taken the pleasure to add some new items in our updated price list which include some the following.

Our NEW Oil Cooler Sandwich Adapters - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5uz64aS_CJ0
Our NEW Intercooler End Tank Assemblies - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQ2v60B7FIk
Our NEW HD Clamp Alignment Tool - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BM5CkUgucL4

Be sure to update your data to reflect our new prices, and please pay special attention to our Unilateral Pricing Policy, which is your guide on what the lowest advertised price (MAP) should be on your business website.

I can be contacted at anytime, should any of you have any questions.

Best regards,

Deryck Griffith
