VIO PartsIQ: Ditch the Frankensteined Spreadsheets

Company News

Upgrade to Clean, Same-Day and Actionable VIO Reporting 

The aftermarket runs on Vehicles in Operation (VIO) data. Stocking decisions, regional sales strategies, and new product launches all start with understanding where the vehicles are and how many of them need your parts.

Every department depends on these numbers being right.

And here’s the frustrating part: companies spend real money on VIO data every year, yet many still struggle to turn that investment into the practical, day-to-day insights their teams actually need.

Why?

Because converting raw VIO data into something useful is rarely straightforward. Most teams are forced to piece together databases (that quickly become outdated), dump them into spreadsheets (that are difficult to manage) that live on the computer of the one unsung hero who has figured out how to make it all work (making it impossible to share or scale).

It’s not hard to see how this approach can result in issues such as:

  • Unreliable accuracy: Data sources may be outdated, inconsistent, or incomplete.
  • Limited flexibility: Even small tweaks take far too long—or worse, break the report.
  • Single-point dependency: When only one person understands how the system works, it creates bottlenecks and risks if that person is unavailable or leaves the company.

And when this is your reporting foundation, the cracks eventually show. It works… until it doesn’t. And when it doesn’t, the whole organization feels it.

Say Goodbye to Frankensteined Reporting

This is exactly the problem VIOPartsIQ was designed to solve.

With VIOPartsIQ, what once required multiple systems, manual updates, and one overworked internal expert can now be done cleanly, reliably, and consistently. VIOPartsIQ provides teams with a simple, intuitive interface that delivers:

  • Accurate reporting: The same consistent, reliable output—no matter who runs the report.
  • Real flexibility: Filter, drill down, and customize without fear of breaking anything.
  • Cross-team usability: Product, catalog, sales, and leadership all work from the same source of truth.

In other words: your VIO data finally works the way you always hoped it would. And you can stop guessing which version of the Frankenstein file is the “real” one.

Generate Your Key Reports

With everything finally organized, accessible, and easy to use, teams can generate the reports they rely on most. And they can create them quickly, accurately, and without the usual headaches.

Some of the most commonly used—and most impactful—reports include:

Stocking Guides

Drill down by state, county, or ZIP code to understand exactly where vehicles are and where demand is strongest—making inventory and production planning far more precise.

Missing Coverage / GAP Analysis

Spot holes in your catalog instantly and understand the size of the opportunity behind each one—so you know which new SKUs truly matter.

Sales & Failure-Rate Integrations

Layer your internal sales or warranty data onto VIO counts to uncover underserved markets, spot performance trends, and align product decisions across teams.

Changeover Tools

Build cleaner, more accurate supersession and consolidation strategies using localized VIO data—giving your sales and catalog teams clear guidance they can trust.

All Powered by Experian

Here’s the best part: VIOPartsIQ is built on Experian’s industry-leading VIO data—the same dataset many companies are already paying for.

But instead of letting that investment sit underused in a spreadsheet or database, VIOPartsIQ turns it into meaningful, real-world insight your entire organization can act on.
