The SEMA Data Co-op (SDC) has become “data central” for hundreds of specialty-parts brands, representing millions of part numbers, and tens of millions of vehicle applications. This directory is designed to guide data users to brands that have successfully undertaken the challenge to manage their product data, and this reference will continue to expand as more brands are added to the SDC repository.

  • Bronze: A solid foundational ACES and PIES compliant data set with images that is suitable to support most selling efforts in brick and mortar and on the web.
  • Silver: The Silver level builds upon the Bronze level data set with the addition of weights, dimensions, more complete descriptions, bullet points and additional images.
  • Gold: The Gold level further improves the Silver data set with the addition of descriptive product attributes and digital assets, including installation instructions and warranty information.
  • Platinum: The pinnacle of data, the Platinum level, builds upon the previous three levels with the addition of even more of the all-important digital assets, descriptions, videos, kit and interchange information and more, designed to meet even the most rigorous receiver requirements.
