Nov. 7, 2017—OEConnection LLC won the Automotive Global Award for their next-generation electronic parts catalog (EPC) designed for Jaguar Land Rover.
The Automotive Global Awards recognize individuals and organizations who have excelled in the automotive logistics, purchasing and supply chain sectors.
Clifford Thames, an OEC company, received the award for excellent teamwork in executing a new technology that streamlines operations.
The Jaguar Land Rover EPC is an application used by OEM/VM authorized retailers to identify service parts for the repair, maintenance and customization of vehicles.
In less than nine months, the OEC team was able to deliver a transformational EPC with enhanced functions, navigation and search for greater accuracy in parts identification for both Jaguar and Land Rover brands.
The Jaguar Land Rover EPC combines two separate EPCs (one for Jaguar and one for Land Rover) into one cohesive EPC that makes it easy for the parts department to quickly find the right part.
The roll out on the new EPC to all Jaguar Land Rover retailers globally is nearing completion, with every retailer scheduled to be transitioned by the end of the year.
