The unsung hero in many organizations is the Product Data Manager. This is the person or team responsible for managing and distributing the product catalog in its various formats, including the ACES and PIES data exchange standards.Today on the podcast, we’re going to talk with Kevin Martin, Product Data Manager at COMP Performance Group, to learn how he helped transform the product catalog and the data process for the 9 brands and over 20,000 items he manages. Tune in to see how you can potentially turn a 40-hour-a-week process into one that can be managed in just a few hours, freeing you or your team to be able to focus on other important priorities.
This week we sit down and review the past weekend in dirt racing! We start by recapping our friend Ryan Missler's big win at Attica Raceway Park where he topped the field for the American Ethanol Late Model Tour. We also recap Eldora's annual Let's Race Two weekend which was shortened by mother nature. And the cherry on top is an interview with Chris Douglas! Chris is the COO at the Comp Performance Group and is a current SEMA board member and is running for his second SEMA term. Chris tells us about COMP and his role with SEMA!
Scooter grew up as a mechanic and got his first job right out of high school. He was drafted to the Navy during the Vietnam War where he served as an aircraft mechanic. When he came back home, he got a job at Racing Head Service around 1972. They were having trouble finding good camshafts for their market so they started Cam Dynamics (now Comp Cams) to fill the need. Over the past few decades, Scooter and the team have built Comp Performance Group into a juggernaut in the aftermarket powertrain industry! Now, Scooter looks for possible acquisitions to expand their reach and offer superior products. They also recently underwent a large logistical overhaul of their company and implemented a new software system to help manage it all. Scooter has also been very involved with SEMA. He spent 6 years on the Board of Directors and served 2 of those years as the Chief Executive Officer. He has helped the SEMA organization push the RPM Act in an effort to combat some detrimental EPA language that prohibits street cars be turned into race cars.
Matt D'Andria presents the second half of a collection of interviews from SEMA 2017. He kicks it off speaking with Brembo's Dan Sandberg about their latest offerings as well as drawing attention with certain cars. Matt then speaks to Scott Diedrich of Heidts about the latest in suspension technology. Next, Matt goes outside to chat with JRI Shocks' Jeff Ryan about shocks and high end racing. Lastly, Matt finds Trent Goodwin of Comp Performance Group to talk about their new and innovative products.
