Operational Efficiency

The Problem

ERP transformation is delayed and over budget.

IT teams and consultants often lack the industry expertise and technical know-how needed to effectively consolidate, cleanse, structure and harmonize ERP data across material, customer and vendor masters. This leads to delays, cost overruns and suboptimal system performance.

Without the ability to extract and analyze material, customer and vendor data from technical documentation, contracts and legacy systems, the organization struggles to establish consistent hierarchies, relationships and reporting categories. The result is an ERP with an incomplete data model and limited operational effectiveness across core processes like procurement, sales and finance.

Additionally, the time required to process and prepare master data for migration often overwhelms project teams, delaying execution of the cutover plan and limiting their ability to establish ongoing governance processes. As a result, data quickly becomes inconsistent and inaccurate after go-live, negating the benefits of the transformation.

The Solution

Partner with experts in data organization, modeling and governance for the chemical industry.

Streamline consolidation of ERP master data (materials, customers, vendors) and rationalize SKUs, customer accounts and supplier records

Ensure data models for material, customer and vendor records are designed for scalability and operationalization in your ERP system.

Establish consistent data hierarchies and reporting categories across raw material, product, customer and vendor domains to enable better reporting, decision-making and operational efficiency across functions.

Focus on executing your ERP project with the end-state governance model in mind, so master data remains clean, accurate and effective for the long term.

Positive Business Outcomes

Execute your ERP project on time and under budget, with harmonized master data across all domains.

Build the foundation for better reporting, decision-making and operational efficiency by creating consistent data hierarchies for materials, customers and vendors.

Enable ongoing governance of master data across material, customer and vendor domains, reducing the risk of messy and inconsistent data over time.

Remove the time burden from IT, consultants and business teams to focus on higher-value activities.

How We Do It

Step 1

Ingest all ERP item masters (materials, customers, vendors), data in other internal systems (e.g. CRM, PMS, etc.) and documents (TDS, SDS, specifications, certifications, statements, etc.) related to products and raw materials.

Step 2

Consolidate and harmonize material, customer, and vendor attributes. Rationalize duplicate SKUs, customer accounts and vendor records to establish the material, customer and vendor master in a MDM system.

Step 3

Define data structures and hierarchies for materials, customers and vendors. Build governance models to maintain master data quality over time.

Step 4

Push clean, structured master data into your ERP through integrations.

Step 5

Step 6

Return on Investment

Reduce 50-70% of internal time spent on migrating master data across materials, customers and vendors and minimize consulting hours required to address master data challenges

Increase efficiency across core processes such as procurement, supply chain, customer order management, and financial reporting

Future proof your ability to scale and maintain your ERP system with clean, harmonized master data across all domains

Proof Points

"There are very few companies that can attack a new ERP project that comes in on time and within budget. A platform that can do it for them at a fraction of the cost is a dream come true."
