Planning, reporting and controls are only as reliable as the master data beneath them. Duplicates, inconsistent classification and unmaintained records push teams into manual checking, erode trust in the numbers, and block any serious move toward analytics or automation.
Data assessment, dashboards, spend and inventory analytics, workflow automation, and AI-assisted classification and exception detection, applied where data quality supports them.
Reliable data and sound business rules first; AI where it measurably improves the result.
We turn operational data into informed action, applying AI only where it improves the quality, speed or usefulness of the outcome.
Materials intelligence
Standardize descriptions, propose classifications, and flag duplicate candidates and missing attributes. Enrich manufacturer and part-number data only from verified evidence.
Inventory intelligence
Segment stock, examine aging and excess, and prioritize availability risks. Test demand and replenishment models against simpler baselines where history is sufficient.
Procurement intelligence
Classify spend, compare like-for-like prices, analyze supplier concentration and lead times, and flag unusual purchasing patterns for investigation.
Management visibility
Build role-based dashboards, exception reports and performance views from approved ERP extracts or integrations, with clear definitions and ownership.
Workflow automation
Reduce repetitive preparation, routing and reporting. Design approvals, exception handling and integration around existing corporate controls.
AI-assisted knowledge access
Assess source-linked search across approved procedures and business records, with specialist delivery and human validation where appropriate.
Controlled data. Reviewed recommendations. Approved actions.
We work only with authorized data in client-approved environments, restrict access and retain full traceability. Designated client reviewers approve material merges, technical substitutions, inventory actions and ERP changes. External AI services are used only with client authorization.
Value is validated against an agreed baseline: data completeness, reviewer-accepted matches, inventory accuracy, exception resolution and reporting effort. Potential financial benefits are assessed separately from data findings.
Control and reconciliation integrity
Configuration Optimization
Comprehensive review of MM/IM setup to ensure proper system design and control alignment.
Movement Governance
Validation of movement types (including 107/109), transaction flows, and stock postings.
Reconciliation Integrity
GR/IR analysis, valuation alignment, and financial posting validation.
Access & Control Review
User role assessment and segregation of duties optimization.
