Is the data driving your ERP or EAM/CMMS systems reliable and robust?
Are you able to make strategic supply chain decisions based on solid analytics from your systems?
Have you been able to minimize poor ordering practices and optimize inventory, leveraging intelligence from transactional data?
Is your maintenance program very reliable, built on high-quality historical data?
If your answer is “Maybe not” or a firm “No” to any of the questions above, its high time you took a deeper look at the master data that is at the core of your systems.

According to industry experts, an asset-intensive organization nearly loses 12% of its revenue which is caused by bad data.
A Data Audit is the first and most important step in analyzing the master data quality in ERP / EAM / CMMS systems. We take this diagnostic step with clients, to analyze different data points, understand the data well, identify business issues and recommend a course of action to align the data to business needs. The MRO Data Audit helps an organization identify all kinds of errors, inaccuracies, and integrity problems in their master data, covering multiple functions such as supply chain, procurement, storerooms, maintenance and operations. During the audit process, our Subject Matter Experts analyze multiple data points like material masters, asset registers and Equipment BOMs, as well as transactional history such as work orders and purchase history. Based on this deep analysis, we can showcase how the master data quality may be affecting your business today.
