Clean Master Data

From opaque catalog to tenderable.

We work on site with your warehouse team. Physical survey, photos, drawings, real manufacturer MPN. We eliminate duplicates, normalize taxonomy and enrich every SKU with the information that opens the tender to the market.

  • On-site technical survey in warehouses and logistics operators.
  • Identification of real OEM MPN (no dealer or distributor codes).
  • Cross-references and equivalences technically validated by engineering.
  • Continuous governance of the master: new SKU approval and audit.

Clean data, informed decisions.

From the physical warehouse survey to continuous master governance, each capability feeds the next. Here's how we work.

01

On-site technical survey

Our engineers physically review every SKU in warehouses and logistics operators. High-resolution photos, technical drawings, dimensions and real manufacturer MPN — not dealer codes.

  • Warehouse visits with a standardized technical checklist.
  • Photo + drawing + MPN captured directly on the mobile platform.
  • Cross-validation with official OEM catalogs.

Master Data cleansing and standardization

We process millions of lines: we eliminate duplicates, correct cataloging errors and normalize taxonomy. Every SKU ends up with a real OEM, enriched description and the correct category.

  • AI-powered deduplication — detection of equivalent SKUs with different MPNs.
  • UNSPSC taxonomy applied and validated by engineering.
  • Retroactive cleanup of the entire historical catalog.

Inventory and surplus analysis

We identify slow-moving materials, capital trapped in the warehouse and sales opportunities. Every SKU gets an obsolescence score and an actionable recommendation.

  • ABC/XYZ analysis by category and mine site.
  • Obsolescence score with predictive usage model.
  • Action plan per SKU: sell, transfer, keep.
📦 Inventory analysis · Q4 2026 $8.4M USD
A · Fast-moving 32% · $2.7M
B · Medium turnover 41% · $3.4M
C · Slow-moving / obsolete 27% · $2.3M
💡 Recommendation: Sell off $1.8M in category C surplus → free up capital + cut warehouse cost 22%.
04

Technical datasheets

Every SKU gets a complete datasheet: technical specifications, manufacturer equivalences and LCC alternatives validated by our engineering team. Ready to be tendered to the market.

  • Standard datasheet with drawings, specs, operating conditions.
  • Cross-references between equivalent OEMs (Cat ↔ Komatsu ↔ Volvo).
  • LCC alternatives technically homologated.

Material master governance

We implement a new SKU approval process with a controlled workflow and continuous quality monitoring. Every new part enters the system with the right information from day one.

  • Approval workflow with roles, validations and SLA per stage.
  • Continuous audit of quality with automatic scoring.
  • Monthly ESG reports to the procurement committee.
