Duplicate detection automation

Duplicate parts causing excess inventory and a lack of visibility across plants; utilize fuzzy and exact matching.

 

  • Limited visibility of inventory and material for working capital use and spend analytics
  • Continued ordering and warehousing of obsolete parts and an inability to identify such parts
  • Longer order fulfillment times arising from poor item descriptions, which can lead to stock-outs
