About PIE

The recently-launched PIE (Product Information Exchange) Technology PlatformTM is a cloud-based platform for manufacturers and distributors of industrial products access to the most comprehensive catalog for the exchange of rich content product information.


Growing relationships and sales between channel partners is key to a company's success.  As the industry standard for exchange of rich content data, PIE helps strengthen collaboration and increase e-commerce sales by allowing PT/MC channel partners to communicate descriptive product information efficiently and seamlessly. 

PIE successfully launched in 2021 with 22 bearings categories. Belt drives, chains and sprockets, linear bearings, seals and bearing accessories and tools will launch in 2023. Additional category expansion will include shaft couplings, iron sheaves, conveyors & material handling, gearing and adjustable speed drives.
