Centralising procurement across multiple companies yields significant benefits like cost savings, improved efficiency, and stronger negotiating power. However, this centralisation process introduces various data-related challenges, such as inconsistencies, quality issues, and integration difficulties.
Addressing Data Inconsistencies
One of the primary challenges in centralising procurement involves managing inconsistent data across different business units. Disparate systems and diverse data entry standards often lead to mismatched information, which complicates the establishment of a unified procurement strategy. AICA employs sophisticated Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP), alongside domain-specific algorithms, to pinpoint and correct these discrepancies.
Our data cleansing services ensure all data is accurate and uniform, providing a solid foundation for centralised procurement efforts.
Our Data Cleansing Services Include:
- Deduplication
- Anomaly detection
- Normalisation
- Poor language rectification
- Corrupt data detection and rectification
- Missing data addition
Improving Data Quality
High-quality data is crucial for informed procurement decisions. Inaccuracies or incomplete data can result in suboptimal purchasing and lost savings opportunities.
Our Data Enrichment Services Include:
- Product data classification
- Enhancement of attributes
- Creation of comprehensive, long and short descriptions
- Language translation
This enriches the information available to procurement teams, enabling them to make strategic decisions that benefit the entire organisation.
Facilitating Data Integration
A significant challenge in centralising procurement is integrating data from various systems and formats. Our modular design supports flexible data integration, tailored to each organisation’s specific needs. Our services standardise data formats and values, making integration across systems seamless and consolidating data into a unified system for a clear, comprehensive view of procurement activities.
Ensuring Data Standardisation and Governance
Without standardised data governance, maintaining consistent data quality and accuracy is challenging. We prioritise data standardisation and governance, leveraging algorithms trained on MRO product data to enforce uniform standards. This approach minimises the risk of discrepancies and ensures all stakeholders have access to accurate, standardised information essential for effective centralised procurement.
Addressing Data Compatibility Issues
Ensuring compatibility among different systems is key to successful procurement centralization. Our data comparison services conduct thorough analyses across multiple dimensions, identifying and resolving compatibility issues. This side-by-side comparison aids in informed decision-making regarding data integration strategies.
