AICA Consulting Services
At AICA, we help industrial and asset-intensive organisations transform fragmented, unstructured product and service data into high-quality, AI-optimised intelligence that powers better procurement, faster ERP rollouts, and long-term operational reliability.
Our consulting approach integrates strategic guidance, AI automation, and seamless system integration—designed to take clients from early-stage data assessment to real-time application across enterprise systems.
What Our Suite Offers:
Scoping: Comprehensive Client Assessment
Central to our consulting process is an in-depth client assessment. Utilising a detailed questionnaire as well as meetings, we endeavor to understand the intricacies of our clients’ challenges and requirements.
This pivotal step ensures the subsequent alignment of our proposed solutions with the specific needs and aspirations of our clientele.
Proof of Value: Proposition Validation
We recognise the importance of validating our propositions. As such, our Proof of Concept phase, conducted over a two-week timeframe, offers tangible evidence of our potential impact.
Within this period, we engage in rigorous analysis of client product data, identifying areas requiring enhancement. The culmination of this phase is a comprehensive report, elucidating the prospective return on investment across various organisational departments.
Main Project: Strategic Solution Implementation
Armed with insights from the preceding phases, we initiate the pivotal stage of solution implementation. This juncture signifies our commitment to transcending theoretical propositions and delivering tangible, actionable results.
Be it data cleansing, enrichment, or specialised integration, this will all be implemented in this phase to ensure that our clients’ data is as accurate and insightful.
Subscription to our SaaS: Continuity and Evolution
Upon successful project completion, our commitment remains. Our Software-as-a-Service solution stands as a testament to our dedication to long-term client success.
This offering ensures consistent, superior data quality. With our SaaS solution, clients are assured of systematic data management, streamlined operational processes, and an infrastructure conducive to
perpetual refinement.
Our Five-Phase Data Transformation Model:
1. AICA AI Navigator
We begin by mapping your industry’s digital maturity using publicly available data, competitive benchmarks, industry reports, and global technology trends. AICA’s AI Navigator combines external analysis with internal diagnostics to uncover where AI and automation will deliver the greatest impact.
We identify:
- Which parts of your supply chain or procurement workflow are hindered by poor data.
- What classification systems (UNSPSC, GPC, or custom) are most applicable.
- Where automation can replace costly manual processes.
Outcome: A data-driven strategic roadmap tailored to your operations, highlighting high-ROI use cases for cleansing, enrichment, classification, and long-term data governance.
2. Data Discovery
With a strategic foundation in place, we shift to analysing your internal datasets—often drawn from ERP, EAM, MDM, or legacy PIM systems. Our team pinpoints common issues such as duplicate records, inconsistent taxonomy usage, missing attributes, or incorrect classifications.
We visualise and document:
- Where data quality bottlenecks occur.
- What legacy structures or formats need standardisation.
- How current workflows are impacted by poor data.
Outcome: A complete picture of your internal data landscape and a clear plan for transformation.
3. Proof of Value
Before full-scale implementation, we run a contained pilot project to show exactly how our AI platform improves data quality and operational performance. Using a sample dataset (typically 5,000–10,000 items), we automate cleansing, enrichment, and classification—then benchmark the results.
We deliver:
- Side-by-side comparison of pre- and post-transformation data.
- Metrics on enrichment accuracy, classification performance, and duplication reduction.
- Estimated time and cost savings at full scale.
Outcome: Quantifiable evidence of value that secures stakeholder buy-in and builds trust.
4. Data Enrichment & Cleansing
This is where AICA’s Agentic AI platform shines. We process your product and service records to:
- Detect and remove duplicates—even when descriptions vary.
- Standardise language, units of measure, and attribute formatting.
- Enrich missing fields such as manufacturer details, part numbers, and UNSPSC codes.
Our models are trained on MRO and industrial data, ensuring unmatched accuracy for complex datasets.
For records where the AI model detects uncertainty or insufficient data quality, our team of human subject matter experts steps in to review, validate, and complete the enrichment or classification manually.
Outcome: A high-quality, enriched product master that improves procurement, inventory, and system interoperability.
5. API Integration
Clean data is only valuable when it’s applied. That’s why AICA offers seamless integration with enterprise systems like SAP, Oracle, IBM, Maximo, Coupa, and others. Our API delivers:
- Real-time classification and data validation as items are created.
- Continuous QA/QC loops powered by human-in-the-loop feedback.
- Ongoing enrichment and cleansing services for newly ingested data.
Outcome: Clean, enriched, and standardised product data that flows directly into your operational systems—without disrupting your workflow.
