unable to communicate and work seamlessly with one another.\u00a0 Customer experience and sales inherently take a hit because users cannot identify parts and service instructions for repairs.<\/p>\n<p>For these reasons, the OEM deployed Asset Information Center (AIC) to its 10,000+ dealership network.\u00a0 These <a href=\"https:\/\/metanoiacorp.com\/es\/what-is-an-interactive-parts-catalog\/\">interactive parts catalogs<\/a> empower users with a fast and precise method of identifying parts, adding to a shopping cart, and checking out within the same shopping flow.\u00a0 AIC integrates information from their ERP, Dealership Management System (DMS), Content Management System (CMS), parts diagrams, and asset documentation (Parts Books, Workshop Service Manuals, Operator Manuals, Instruction Sheets and Service Bulletins) onto any interface for optimal ease of use.<\/p>\n<h5>Benefits of AIC for OEMs include:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>Boost to Aftermarket part sales<\/li>\n<li>Reduction in shopping cart abandonment<\/li>\n<li>Decreased errors in purchased parts<\/li>\n<li>Reduction of costs, due to self-service of customers<\/li>\n<li>Improved customer loyalty<\/li>\n<li>Ability to leverage existing systems, no rip-and-replace required<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>The OEM by the numbers:<\/h5>\n<ul>\n<li>2nd Largest manufacturer of farming equipment globally<\/li>\n<li>120,000+ Daily active users upon full rollout<\/li>\n<li>Integration to 10,000+ Dealerships<\/li>\n<li>15 Languages<\/li>\n<li>26 Brands<\/li>\n<li>60+ Countries<\/li>\n<li>2,000,000 Parts in AIC<\/li>\n<li>1,600,000 Pages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"OEM Parts Viewer\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/356060874?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"266\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay;
