MRO Data Enrichment Services
Missing attributes. Outdated vendor details. Inconsistent descriptions. They’re slowing you down and driving up costs. But we can fix that!
Data cleansing lays the groundwork—true optimization comes from enriched data. While cleansing removes duplicates and fixes inconsistencies, enrichment adds the missing intelligence that drives smarter decisions. From technical attributes and manufacturer part numbers to standardized supplier details and commodity codes, enriched data transforms disconnected records into a reliable foundation for procurement, maintenance, and supply chain efficiency.
Our enrichment process bridges those gaps, validating and supplementing your MRO data with accurate, detailed, and context-rich information that empowers better planning and execution.
Improve part searchability
Add specifications, manufacturer details, and standardized attributes that make it easier for users to quickly find the right item.
Enable smarter sourcing
Through enriched vendor mapping, cross-references, and alternate part linkages that reveal consolidation and substitution opportunities.
Strengthens compliance and reporting
With commodity codes, safety certifications, and sustainability attributes that support audits and regulatory requirements.
Drives better analytics and decisions
By providing the structured data points needed for spend analysis, supplier rationalization, and predictive maintenance strategies.
Unlock Greater Value from Your Material Master Data with Our MRO Data Enrichment Capabilities
We don't just provide data cleansing for your MRO data; we enrich it with high-value attributes that unlock sourcing, inventory, and maintenance performance.
Enrichment Readiness Assessment
Before starting enrichment, it’s critical to understand the current state of your MRO data. Our MRO data audit provides a structured audit of your material master, vendor records, and supporting catalogs to identify where key attributes are missing, inconsistent, or outdated. The outcome is a clear roadmap that highlights enrichment gaps, prioritizes fixes by business impact, and helps build the business case for investment.
What we do:
- Profile your data – scan material masters to check completeness and consistency
- Identify enrichment gaps – flag missing technical specs, supplier details, compliance fields, and codes
- Map business impact – show how gaps affect searchability, sourcing, and reporting
- Deliver a roadmap – outline scope, timelines, and effort for enrichment activities
MRO Item Attribute Enrichment
Our team enriches MRO item records by adding the critical specifications and attributes that most ERPs and EAMs lack. We capture missing details from OEM catalogs, supplier databases, and industry standards, then validate them through SME review to ensure accuracy. This makes your records not only complete but also ready for reliable search, sourcing, and maintenance use across all systems.
What we do:
- Add technical specs – Dimensions, materials, ranges, and performance ratings for accurate identification.
- Standardize manufacturer details – Validate MPNs, OEM names, and model/series numbers.
- Apply classification codes – Enrich with UNSPSC, eClass, or custom taxonomies.
- Link supplier attributes – Map items to approved vendors, contracts, and lead times.
- Append compliance info – Add safety certifications, environmental flags, and shelf-life data.
OEM & Vendor Cross-Referencing
We enrich MRO spare parts data by mapping your internal part numbers to verified OEM references and approved vendor alternates. Our team validates every linkage against OEM catalogs, supplier databases, and internal records to ensure accuracy. This process creates reliable equivalency and substitution options, giving procurement teams flexibility in supplier selection, reducing single-vendor dependency, and minimizing the risk of stockouts.
What we do:
- OEM references – Link internal part numbers to official OEM numbers and models.
- Approved vendor alternates – Map parts to substitute items from other suppliers.
- Obsolescence mapping – Flag discontinued parts and connect them to current replacements.
- Catalog validation – Verify all cross-references against OEM and vendor catalogs.
Assigning Commodity/Taxonomy Codes
We classify MRO items by assigning standard commodity and taxonomy codes such as UNSPSC, ECLASS, or custom internal categories. Our team reviews item attributes and aligns each record with the correct hierarchy, ensuring consistency across procurement, maintenance, and reporting systems. This structured coding enables reliable spend visibility, category management, and global standardization.
What we do:
- Apply global standards – Assign UNSPSC, ECLASS, MGC, or other industry coding systems
- Map internal taxonomies – Align records to your company’s preferred categories
- Normalize descriptions – Ensure items are classified under the right commodity group
- Flag misclassified items – Detect and correct incorrect or duplicate classifications
Supplier Metadata Enrichment
As a part of MRO data enrichment services, we enrich your spare parts and material records with supplier-related attributes that are often missing or incomplete. By collecting data from vendor catalogs, purchase contracts, and validated sources, our team ensures each record carries the supplier intelligence procurement and compliance teams need to make informed decisions. This reduces blind spots in sourcing, improves supplier evaluation, and strengthens supply risk management.
What we do:
- Add lead times – Standard delivery timelines for each item/vendor
- Capture MOQs – Minimum order quantities to guide procurement planning
- Append source country – Origin data for compliance and trade visibility
- Include contract details – Link items to supplier agreements where applicable
- Add compliance tags – Certifications, sustainability, or risk indicators at the supplier level
Search Optimization & Semantic Standardization
As a part of MRO master data enrichment, we standardize & normalize item descriptions, abbreviations, and units of measure so records are consistent, structured, and easy to search within ERP, EAM, or CMMS systems. By applying consistent naming standards and approved vocabularies, we eliminate ambiguity and make it easier for users to quickly find the right part. This directly reduces duplicate ordering, misidentified items, and downtime caused by poor search results.
What we do:
- Standardize descriptions – Apply consistent naming conventions across items
- Normalize abbreviations – Expand or unify industry terms for clarity
- Unify units of measure – Convert and standardize into approved UOM formats
- Apply search keywords – Enrich records with alternate terms or synonyms for easier retrieval
- Enforce semantic rules – Build consistent patterns that align with ERP/EAM search functions
