The Receiver’s Choice Award aims to honours organizations who specialize in accuracy and completeness of content management, and recognizes them for providing high-quality content, including Aftermarket Catalogue Exchange Standards (ACES), Product Information Exchange Standard (PIES), digital assets, and other customer specific formats, according to the Auto Care Association.
