Get ready for go-live

Go-live is fixed. Your master data isn't ready.

The new ERP expects clean master data. Yours sits in free text: BOM lines, process steps, material notes, the same thing spelled a dozen ways. Your team cleans it by hand, and go-live doesn't wait.

“Every plant writes the same step its own way, in three languages, and we clean it line by line in Excel. At this pace, we miss go-live.”

Sound familiar?

Three situations that stall a go-live: the data the new ERP needs is written in a way it can't take.

The process lives in free text.

Steps typed differently at every plant, in three languages. Operators can read them. The new ERP can't.

No standardised language.

One material, four names, and no shared list to map from. Nothing lines up with the new ERP.

Industrial distribution · ERP consolidation

One supplier, three ERPs.

After acquisitions, the same supplier sits in each system under a different name and terms. Someone has to pick, one by one.
