The high quality data offered MS Motorservice International GmbH has been recognised by TecAlliance through inclusion in the TecDoc catalogue. The move means the spare parts specialist meets the stringent criteria for all of its brands, corresponding to approximately 34,000 item records. 

The company has received the gold status of "Premier Data Supplier (PDS)" for two of its brands and the silver status of "Certified Data Supplier (CDS)" for the remaining four brands. The intention is to receive the highest certification level for all brands in 2024.

The TecDoc catalogue is the world's leading spare parts catalogue for the automotive aftermarket. Dealers and workshops use the catalogue to order their spare parts, using the product data provided by the manufacturers to make their purchasing decisions. It is important for them to be able to compare the relevant products quickly and reliably and to be able to rely on the accuracy of the product features. All of this is only possible if the data in the catalogue is optimally maintained. TecAlliance has therefore introduced corresponding certifications to ensure data quality. 

With the conclusion of the current certification round at the end of November, Motorservice became a "Certified Data Supplier (CDS)" for products from its Kolbenschmidt, Pierburg, BF and TRW Engine Components brands, thereby attesting to the fact that the company largely already fulfils the data maintenance requirements imposed by the TecDoc catalogue. The Turbo by Intec and Reman by Intec brands have achieved "Premier Data Supplier (PDS)" status, the highest standard that can be achieved.

To achieve the next step for the certified brands, Motorservice must meet all criteria including even more stringent content-related requirements without exception. "With more than ten million records, this involves an extraordinary amount of effort for us, but this is a service that we definitely want to offer to our customers, after all, you need correct information to make good decisions", emphasises Peter Schulz, Senior Manager Data Management at Motorservice. 

This includes data content such as item attributes, OE references, media assets, item links and much more.
