New Online Product Training Center Announced

 

The SEMA Product Training Center allows manufacturers to provide product training to hundreds of resellers throughout the industry more efficiently and less costly than using traditional means.
The SEMA Product Training Center allows manufacturers to provide product training to hundreds of resellers throughout the industry more efficiently and less costly than using traditional means. 

   
In a joint effort, the Light-Truck Accessory Alliance (TORA) and the SEMA Education Institute (SEI) have developed a new online tool that allows manufacturers to efficiently and effectively provide product training to hundreds or even thousands of resellers throughout the industry. The program is designed to help manufacturers save money on product training and spur sales.

Each training module is built using content supplied by the manufacturer with the salesperson in mind. Everyone involved will be able to track each employee’s progress and product knowledge once they have completed the first module.

“Manufacturers that keep customers informed continue to grow, and now a consistent and effective solution has been developed to help train salespeople economically,” said TORA Chairman George Lathouris. “By using this results-based format, the learning experience is consistent and effective for salespeople.”

The TORA helped develop this web-based training solution to complement each manufacturer’s existing training while keeping costs down. Companies may purchase 15- or 30-minute online training modules, which will be produced by eLearning consultant Ability Performance Solutions. The training modules will then be housed on SEI’s learning management system and promoted to the entire selling community.

The SEMA Product Training Center is designed to be easy to use and includes simple enrollment. For more information or to sign up for a training module, visit the SEMA Product Training Center.

SEMA Data Co-op Adds Legacy ACES Conversion as Member Benefit

the SDC is providing this important service as a standard member benefit at no charge.” The Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association’s (AAIA) Legacy electronic catalog standard was retired as of December 2012 and will no longer be supported or updated by AAIA. In order to meet the needs of today’s powerful business applications, the Legacy format has been replaced with the AAIA Catalog Enhanced Standard (ACES). Along with the vehicle configuration database, ACES provides a much more granular and rules-based standard. As the only industry-owned and operated data management service and centralized repository, the SEMA Data Co-op (SDC) is fully compliant with the industry ACES and Product Information Exchange Standard (PIES).

“With the sunset date of December 31, it is critical that manufacturers migrate to ACES as soon as possible,” said Bob Castle, SDC vice president of e-commerce and IT, “and we are prepared to help make this conversion as painless as possible for our members.”

Said SDC CEO Jon Wyly: “In our continuing effort to help SEMA manufacturers take control of and manage their product data, the SDC is providing this important service as a standard member benefit at no charge.”


Companies using the Legacy electronic catalog standard, which was retired in December 2012, are invited to migrate to the AAIA Catalog Enhanced Standard free of charge through the SEMA Data Co-op.
