Master Data Management for Manufacturers

Are you in the manufacturing industry and lacking one single source of high-quality data truth? This page is for you.

INTRODUCTION

MDM for the Manufacturing Industry

Key to lean and agile Manufacturing is high-quality, centralized data. Master Data Management enables manufacturers to:

Eliminate data silos and centralize all your scattered data in one single system
Increase overall data quality, usability, shareability and security
Streamline product lifecycle management processes and bring your products faster to market
Levarage your single source of data to bring your data across to any online or offline channel or supply chain partner and grow and expand faster.

Taking control of your data will unlock your business' potential across several departments as processes run smoother, reliable data enables better decision-making and supports scalable growth into new markets and channels.

Case: The Mandemakers Group

To meet customer’s rising demands of digital consumers, a shorter time to market and shorter product life cycles, DMG needed to be able to trust in their product data.

With roughly 1 million different products and multiple input sources and formats provided by its many suppliers, product data became increasingly complex to manage for DMG. All this data has an impact on logistics, service, sales and marketing. Therefore, DMG realized it was time to standardize the way they handle their data. By creating a single source of truth they increased E-commerce revenue, achieved faster time-to-market in both online and offline channels, and increased efficiency.

How MDM solves these key data challenges for manufacturers

Data Silos

Manufacturing companies can benefit greatly from syndicating and consolidating data across systems in a central repository that grants full visibility and access to a single version of the truth and a high-quality data. In doing so, a unified view of both data and processes ensures that changes made anywhere in the process become visible and accessible to everyone.

Reduce risk of data discrepancies
Reduce data maintenance
Establish a unified view of process and data

Limitations to business agility

Limitations to digital scalable growth
