WHAT IS DM5?
One Workspace for Every Dimension of Your Catalog
DM5 brings ACES vehicle fitment and PIES product data together in a single application — the two standards that move every part through the aftermarket supply chain. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, XML editors, and import scripts, your team authors, validates, and delivers from one place.
ACES
Vehicle Fitment Data
Define exactly which parts fit which vehicles. DM5 maps every part to year/make/model/engine/submodel against the current VCDB so your fitment is accurate, complete, and ready to publish.
PIES
Product Attribute Data
Everything else about a part: descriptions, pricing, dimensions, packaging, digital assets, hazmat, interchanges, and kits. Manage the full PIES lifecycle without ever leaving the workspace.
Who uses DM5? Manufacturers, distributors, and data teams who author, validate, and deliver ACES/PIES data to trading partners, e-commerce platforms, and industry data pools with your catalog fully isolated and yours alone.
EDIT IN PLACE
No Exporting. No Re-Importing. Just Change It.
Most catalog work dies in the round-trip: export to Excel, edit, re-import, then fix whatever broke. DM5 ends that loop. Edit any field on any record right in the grid, and when you need to change hundreds or thousands at once, do it in a single bulk action, validated as you go.
01
In-Grid Editing
Change values right where you see them. No export, no separate editor, no merge step.
02
Bulk Updates
Multi-select across thousands of records and apply a price change, packaging fix, or fitment correction in one pass.
03
Validated as You Go
Every edit is checked against ACES/PIES rules, so bad data never reaches a trading partner.
04
Live, Not a Copy
You're editing the real catalog, not a snapshot you have to reconcile back in later.
THE INTERFACE
Powerful Where It Counts. Simple Where It Matters.
DM5 is built for people who live in catalog data all day without making you fight the tool. Every screen opens as a tab, every grid filters the same way, and nothing you're working on gets lost when you jump to the next task.
Tab-Based Workspace
Open as many screens as you need. Each tab keeps its own filters and selection, so research never interrupts authoring.
Edit and Export What You See
Work with exactly the records your filters return and edit them in place, or export the current view in one click.
Find Anything Fast
Autocomplete filters, free-text search, and year-range sliders drop results into a sortable, scrollable grid.
Group and Search Instantly
Drag columns to group, search across everything visible, and always see your live record count.
Smart Autocomplete
Type ahead, or paste a comma-separated list to build dozens of filter tags instantly. Equals, Contains, Starts With, and their negations.
You Control the Query
Build a complex multi-field filter, then hit Apply when you're ready. Nothing fires until you say so.
PRIVATE LABEL
Manage Dozens of Private Labels Without Duplicating a Thing
-
Inherit by default, override by exception. Child private label pull fitment and attributes from the parent automatically. You only touch what's different.
-
One change flows everywhere. Update the parent application or Product data and every Private label stays in sync, instead of editing the same data ten times.
-
Onboard a label in hours, not weeks. Stand up a new private label off an existing foundation, then adjust brand codes, part numbers, packaging, and pricing.
-
Map numbers across every label. Brand Interchanges keep your part numbers cross-referenced to each other and to OEM.
