Industrial Manufacturing

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:
  • Engineering and Manufacturing need a better way to locate parts based on a variety of business needs and criteria
  • Design Engineers need a better way to locate parts based on technical criteria, part number, and design life expectancy requirements
  • Component Engineers need a better way to locate replacement parts based on a current part, as well as conduct obsolescence analysis and view manufacturer datasheets
  • Manufacturing/Process Engineers need a better way to locate replacement parts that do not require redesigns

We also know why you need to:

  • 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 spending visibility
  • Locate alternate and replacement parts from preferred suppliers
  • Conform to data governance standards by tracking and reporting sales revenues, procurement, and expenses
  • Create standards and content data governance

Common Obstacles We Can Overcome:

  • No single source of unified data or parts information
  • Core parts data stored outside the enterprise or in old legacy systems that are difficult to search
  • Informal or fragmented corporate data governance standards
  • WMS and ERP data systems not synchronized
  • Insufficient staff/data expertise for successful results
  • Source material that resides outside the company or within multiple, non-integrated business silos within the company
  • 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 needed by function.
  • You need a unified data source that aides in driving-out costs, inventory reduction and enhance 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.
  • Your marketing and sales professionals need to be able to source, build, maintain and publish rich product information on a consistent basis.
