PRINT CATALOG SERVICES
We Turn Your ACES & PIES Data Into Print-Ready Catalogs
One of the only companies still building professional print catalogs from automotive aftermarket data. Custom layouts, tabbed sections, product imagery, and fitment tables ready for Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, and your entire distribution network.
BEYOND THE PARTS COUNTER
Your Catalog Belongs Where Your Customers Actually Shop
Auto parts aren't just sold at auto parts stores anymore. Batteries sit in Walmart aisles. Wiper blades hang on Home Depot endcaps. Oil drain plugs stock Costco shelves. Your customers need a catalog that works in these environments, not just behind a parts counter.

CATALOG TYPES
Three Catalog Formats, Endless Possibilities
We've built catalogs for wipers, batteries, drain plugs, gaskets, and more. Each one starts from your ACES and PIES data and ends as a polished, print-ready document.
Application Guide / Fitment Catalog
Year, make, and model fitment tables organized by vehicle manufacturer. Standard and variant blade types, battery group sizes, or any product category, complete with footnotes for trims, options, and exceptions.
Product Image Pages
Visual product grids showing every SKU with photography, part number, OE reference, size specs, and descriptive callouts. Organized in a clean grid layout. Perfect for drain plugs, gaskets, filters, and accessory lines.
Multi-Section Tabbed Catalog
Full-scale catalogs with tabbed side navigation spanning multiple product categories. Automotive, Heavy Trucks, Agriculture, Lawn & Garden, Motorcycles, ATVs, Snowmobiles, Watercraft, all in one book.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Every Detail, Handled
We don't just dump your data into a table. We design catalogs that are accurate, usable, and ready for commercial printing.
HOW IT WORKS
From ACES XML to Finished Catalog
Your data is already structured. We make it beautiful and print-ready.
01
Send Us Your Data
Share your ACES and PIES files: XML, flat files, spreadsheets, or even an existing PDF catalog you want refreshed. We work with whatever you have.
02
We Design the Layout
We map your fitment data, product attributes, and imagery into a custom catalog layout. You choose the sections, tabs, and how products are organized, or we'll recommend a structure based on your line.
03
Review & Revise
You get a proof PDF to review. We refine the layout, fix any data issues, and make sure every footnote, part number, and fitment row is accurate.
04
Print-Ready Delivery
Final catalog delivered as a high-resolution, print-ready PDF. Send it straight to your printer, distribute digitally, or both.
What We Need From You
ACES files (fitment/application data), PIES files (product info, pricing, descriptions), product images (if applicable), and your branding guidelines. Don't have clean data? We can work with spreadsheets, legacy catalogs, or PDFs too.
Typical Turnaround
A standard fitment catalog can be turned around in 2 to 4 weeks depending on the number of SKUs and complexity of the layout. Updates to existing catalogs are faster, often under a week.
COMPARISON
In-Store Parts Lookup vs Traditional Kiosk Systems
Retailers often consider kiosks to provide self-service access to product information. While kiosks can work in limited scenarios, they introduce constraints that modern retail environments increasingly struggle to support.
PRIVATE LABEL

With an In-Store Parts Lookup built by DataPoint, retailers scale private label programs with confidence and consistency. One authoritative dataset powers multiple branded experiences with centralized updates reflected across every store location.

THE CASE FOR PRINT
Why Print Catalogs Still Matter in a Digital World
Everyone's gone digital. That's exactly why a physical catalog still works. When a Walmart auto center associate needs to look up a battery fitment, they're not logging into an ACES database. They're flipping through a book.
​
Print catalogs work in places without reliable Wi-Fi: warehouse floors, trade show booths, farm equipment dealers, and big-box retail aisles. They don't need a login, they don't crash, and they don't require training.
​
And for non-traditional automotive retailers like Costco, Home Depot, and Lowe's, where staff aren't parts experts, a well-designed catalog is often the only reference they have.
