Master Data Management for Wholesale

MDM for Wholesale Industry

Key to lean and agile Wholesalers is high-quality, centralized data. Master Data Management enables wholesalers to: 

• Eliminate data silos and centralize all your scattered data in one single system
• Increase overall data quality, usability, shareability and security
• Reduce costs from data-dependant inefficient processes and flows. 
• Leverage your single source of data to bring your data to any online or offline channel or supply chain partner and grow and expand faster.
• Strengthen your relationship with key retail and distribution partner by providing high-quality data.

Taking control of your data will unlock your business' potential across several departments as processes run smoother, reliable data enables better decision-making and supports scalable growth into new markets and channels. 

Case: Wasco

With more than 450,000 heating and plumbing products and services, Wasco’s aim to offer a true omnichannel experience and transform their brand experience was being limited by their product information management. With their new data solution, Wasco was able to have an end-to-end, transparent process across the length of the supply chain. This allowed them to present their products across digital channels that were not accessible before, taking new strides on their journey to digital transformation.

How MDM solves these key data challenges for wholesalers

Data Silos

Wholesale companies can benefit greatly from syndicating and consolidating data across systems in a central repository that grants full visibility and access to a single version of the truth and a high-quality data. In doing so, a unified view of both data and processes ensures that changes made anywhere in the process become visible and accessible to everyone.

• Reduce risk of data discrepancies
• Reduce data maintenance
• Establish a unified view of process and data

Operational ineffieciencies

Streamline and automate business processes and reduce costs by creating a single source of truth for critical data. Bringing data together from disconnected, siloed systems across the enterprise value chain enables businesses to eliminate costly, error-prone manual processes, improve the quality of products and services' data, and accelerate their time to market. Eliminate bottlenecks in your data flows and enable seamless sharing of data across systems, departments and external partners. 

Limitations to digital scalable growth

Limitations to digital scalable growth
The key to digital transformation – and replacing legacy systems – is to master the data that is vital to your IT ecosystem. Replacing or optimizing legacy systems improves efficiency, accelerates time-to-market and increases revenue. Multidomain MDM brings together customer, supplier and product data into a single source of data truth that sets the foundation to replace the legacy, uncentralized systems and meet the increasing demand of sending accurate data through of an also rising number of systems and channels.

In addition, having a centralized data system allows you to leverage data capabilities for technical innovations, reaching new and more sophisticated channels and expand to new markets.
