Your suppliers already know their current prices, lead times and part changes. Data Network brings those changes to you on a schedule. You approve each one before it reaches SAP.
So MRP orders the part 40 days too late, and the job starts without it. Nobody told SAP the lead time changed.
Every business chases the same suppliers for the same information, and every copy is out of date within months. When a supplier discontinues a part, nobody finds out until an order fails. Cleaning the data once doesn’t fix it, because it starts going stale the day the project ends.
Update prices, lead times and part changes in their own system or portal.
Matches each change to your materials and checks it against your agreed terms.
Review the change, approve it, and it is written to SAP.

Agree what is shared
Approve every change
Nothing changes in SAP until someone on your team approves it. You see what changed, from what to what, and which jobs it affects.
Each customer’s data is their own. A supplier selling to several customers at different prices means each customer only ever sees their own terms.

The lead time change affects 4 jobs in the next 90 days. Reorder points will be recalculated.
The price you pay, from the agreement you have, not the one that expired.
How long the supplier takes today, so MRP orders in time.
When a supplier retires a part, you stop ordering it and are pointed to the replacement.
Units of measure, minimum order quantities and pack sizes that match how the supplier sells.
Material descriptions and manufacturer part numbers kept in line with the source.
Because the network sees prices and lead times across suppliers, it can suggest who to buy from, with the risks shown.
Suppliers connect once and their updates reach every customer on the network. They see their own on-time performance on each order, and they stop answering the same data request over and over.
Ready-made templates for common systems fill in most of the setup. Each party is set up once, and that setup is reused for every relationship they have.
The data is corrected where it starts, not re-cleaned every eighteen months.
One supplier connection serves many customers, and the shared view across suppliers is something no single business can build alone.
Each party controls what it shares, and every change is approved.
We’ll show you how Data Network would keep it current. No commitment.
