Common Business Issues We Can Solve:

Every business is different. Yet so many of the same challenges and obstacles resonate from company to company and industry to industry. With years of experience paying close attention to our clients' needs, we understand why you need to:

Provide Engineering and Manufacturing with a better way to locate parts that meets specific business criteria
Access and identify supplier product data
Eliminate incomplete, incompatible, and inconsistent data within legacy and ERP systems
Improve strategic sourcing initiatives that have been impacted dramatically by lack of spend visibility
Improve normalization by converting and mapping product data, including part numbers, UPC attributes, and product descriptions
Conform to data governance standards by tracking and reporting sales revenues, procurement, and expenses
Create a single Master Data File for an aggregated, standardized source of product and inventory information that conforms to multiple standards
Maintain current, accurate and complete product data for all trading partners and customers
Simplify data sourcing for catalog creation, web content, and e-commerce needs

Common Obstacles We Can Overcome:

Unrelated databases for product information required by customers, vendors, and internal staff
Category management analysis problems due to unrelated UPC numbers
Inaccessible core parts data or data stored in old legacy systems
Informal or fragmented corporate data governance standards
Incompatible spreadsheets not relating to the same database
WMS and ERP data systems not synchronized
Non-existent real-time data standards
Lack of priority for data maintenance
Insufficient staff/expertise for successful results
Source material residing outside the company or within multiple, non-integrated business silos within the enterprise
Lack robust tools and systems to quickly and accurately input and maintain source data
Inadequate exposure of new, changed and/or obsolete products

It All Boils Down To This:

You need an easier, better way to find product information by function.
You need a unified data source that drives down costs, reduces inventory and enhances purchasing mechanics.
You need to be able to efficiently and consistently pick, pack, and ship the right product, to the right customer at the right price and right time.
Your marketing and sales professionals need to be able to source, build, maintain, and publish rich product information on a consistent basis.
