Master Data Management (MDM) Hub - for Manufacturing


Business executives are constantly under pressure to increase sales, decrease risk and improve profitability. They come across questions like the following on a daily basis, and need to continuously improvise on their business strategy.

· What are customers buying across channels and lines of business?
· What is our trade compliance risk?
· What is our credit exposure across our customer base? Can we lower it?

To answer these and other related questions, executives needs definitive data about customers, products, locations, vendors, suppliers, regulations, credit limits and credit exposure. But too often, they lack quality data because it’s spread across disparate systems and business units, or it exists in slightly different formats - among other reasons. Consequently, they don’t know which data records to trust, making it difficult to answer fundamental questions about the business.

By bringing integrity, visibility and accuracy to enterprise data, Master Data Management (MDM) solutions can improve business decision-making and KPIs. MDM and information governance practices intend to confirm the integrity and accuracy of data, and provide organizations with the “single version of truth” needed to answer important business questions.


Business Benefits for Manufacturing Companies

Business Benefits

Increased Collaboration
Various departments use specialized applications such as CRM, Email systems, Marketing, ERP, Websites, etc. to optimize each function. Inter-departmental collaboration requires systems whereby action in one system can trigger business events in others, for example, a client's visit to a particular section of the website should notify Sales or Marketing of next steps in order to explore potential opportunities.

Increased Revenue per Customer
Many companies maintain terabytes of customer data, but because it’s often inconsistent, they can’t use it effectively. As a result, companies miss opportunities to offer discounts and other incentives aimed at growing revenue. MDM can standardize and unify customer data across systems.

Better Negotiation with Suppliers
For manufacturing companies it is most important to know who their suppliers are and their total spend, all of which can improve negotiations.

Increase Customer Profitability
Organizations can identify their most and least profitable customers when they know the amount of revenue each customer or customer segment generates, coupled with the cost of serving those customers or segments. Knowing customers’ total value allows companies to focus their resources on retaining those customers that matter most.

Standardize Product Information
Standard, centralized product data makes it easier for companies to promptly post information about new products to their various sales channels, speeding time to market and increasing available selling days.
