3. Enrichment with original manufacturer information

Cleanse your inaccurate or faulty data with data enrichment suggestions from the SPARETECH database. Directly add missing information based on 100% correct manufacturer data with a material change request. No matter if you have missing or wrong information in the product name, product description, EAN, article number, type code, ECLASS IDs, or other fields – SPARETECH’s enrichment suggestions got you covered.

4. Ensure continuous data quality management

Companies often tend to focus solely on the initial cleansing of their master data. The three steps mentioned above enable you to get an accurate, consistent, and complete data basis. However, without continuous duplicate and quality checks during the new material creation process, duplicates and incorrect data may resurface the ERP System. Therefore, the fourth step of ensuring a duplicate- and error-free material creation process is essential to keep the master data clean.
