Commercial Data Update

Give SAP supplier data it can buy from.

We ask your suppliers, and their competitors, for current prices, lead times and part details across your top spend. We agree the buying strategy with you, load the results into SAP in bulk, and train your team to keep it current.

WHO IT'S FOR

Procurement and supply teams with high manual purchase order volumes, or prices and lead times they no longer trust.

Sound familiar?

Prices and lead times in SAP are years out of date.

Buyers re-quote parts they've bought many times before.

Planners can't tell when a part will really arrive.

How it works

1

Diagnose

We find the gaps in your supplier data and nominate the suppliers to update, usually those behind your top 80% of spend.

2

Collect

Your suppliers, and alternative suppliers, send current prices, lead times and part details. We check every return.

3

Agree the strategy

We use the returned data to agree which suppliers to buy from, so SAP can automate the choice.

4

Load

The data is loaded into SAP in bulk using our own prebuilt load tools.

5

Train

We train your team to keep the data current and the automation working.

IN PRACTICE

At a coal export terminal, more than 8,000 supplier records and 8,000 part numbers were out of line. Within three weeks of the update, on-time parts delivery to work orders rose 25%, manual purchasing effort fell 60% (about 4.5 hours a day), and expediting fell 65%.

“I knew master data was important, I just didn't realise how much impact it would have. I've gone from 8 to 3 hours a day for purchase order creation.”

Common questions

Which suppliers are included?+

A nominated group, usually the suppliers behind your top 80% of spend.

Do you change anything in SAP without us?+

No. We agree the buying strategy with you first, and the load reflects exactly what was agreed.

What happens after the load?+

Your team is trained to maintain it, and the work carries a one-month warranty.
