International Multi-language Parts Catalogs
MSX International (ACDelco’s engineering services supplier) hired Spud Software to help them design and develop ACDelco’s first electronic composition system to automate the generation of multi-language and region specific International Parts Catalogs. The project was awarded to Spud Software due to our unique solution for parsing raw parts data from ACDelco’s engineering database and composing them in the horizontally aligned format used by retail automotive parts catalogs.

NAFTA Tariff System
The NAFTA program for importing parts represented an opportunity for General Motors to save millions in tariff costs annually as well as an opportunity to get preferential treatment for it’s trucks at border crossings. The challenge: It required full compliance with the U.S. Customs Harmonized Tariff Classification reporting requirements.
MSX International (GM’s engineering services supplier) and Spud Software were hired to collaboratively design and develop GM’s Electronic Classification Reporting Database (ECRD). Our ECRD solution included tools that allowed their engineers to quickly identify and record the key specifications of a part, associate the part’s attributes with the corresponding rate listed in the US Customs tariff schedule, and create the necessary documentation to meet NAFTA compliance requirements.
