OptiCat announced Monday at Heavy Duty Aftermarket Week (HDAW) in Grapevine, Texas, that Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems and Bendix Spicer Foundation Brake have joined OptiCat Network.

As the heavy-duty aftermarket community continues to embrace data standards, OptiCat says more and more heavy-duty truck parts data receivers (distributors) are requesting high-quality digital product data and images that conform to the Auto Care PIES (Product Information Exchange Standard) data standards.

The OptiCat network, which provides a cloud-based secure data repository with data validation and distribution services for the aftermarket supply chain, is focused on helping all heavy-duty channel partners be more efficient and successful, the company says. “We are excited that Bendix has chosen to partner with OptiCat in providing their standardized part information to their customers through the OptiCat OnBoard Supplier portal,” says Blake Barson, OptiCat, directo, data services and Nnational sales.

“The Bendix brand has always been known for the quality, performance, and durability of the parts they manufacture. The company is committed to delivering accurate and accessible digital data as part of its e-Commerce roadmap.” With this new addition, OptiCat adds Bendix to its list of reputable heavy-duty brands available now in OptiCat’s secure data repository for receiver channel partners.
