1. Customer & Supplier Profile Management

Visual SKUs Aftermarket DAM facilitates the creation of detailed trading partner profiles, which are used to automate common tasks and processes

Makes it simple to manage and distribute digital assets according to trading partner needs and preferences like:

• Customer-specific product assortments and digital asset type requirements
• Part number interchanges
• File formatting specifications (naming, resolution, size, type etc.)
• Delivery method preferences (FTP, Web, physical media, URL)
• Delivery format requirements (e.g. PIES, AAIA Imaging Best Practices, or others)
• Delivery frequency (as assets become available, pre-scheduled or self-serve)

2. Product Image Conversion

The Aftermarket DAM system formats product images to trading partners' unique specifications, as defined in their profiles or ad hoc

Simplifies and streamlines the creation of customer-specific images, empowering you to:

• Satisfy customer requirements by formatting and naming images to their unique specifications
• Minimize errors by automatically creating image files aligned to each customer’s preferred file type, size, resolution and metadata, based on their customer profile
• Maximize efficiency by ensuring only master image files are stored in the system
• Reduce internal resource costs by automating complex image formatting and naming tasks
