Most asset-intensive organisations run procurement and maintenance on an item master they cannot defend. Duplicate spares, missing attributes and inconsistent classification across sites inflate inventory, slow sourcing and put ERP migrations at risk.
AICA’s stewardship consulting combines industry-trained data stewards, former buyers, storemen, planners and maintenance engineers, with the Atlas classification and enrichment platform to fix the data and the processes that created it. Engagements cover data governance, MRO data strategy and SAP S/4HANA migration readiness, with classification to GS1 Global Product Classification (GPC), UNSPSC, eCl@ss, ETIM and HS codes.
How an engagement runs
- Remote intake: Atlas classifies and enriches the item master across the network and produces a Strategic Heatmap ranking sites by data risk and spend.
- Site-Pulse Diagnostic: a 2–4 week assessment at flagged sites, delivering a Data Quality Scorecard, root-cause map and pre-validated friction list.
- Harmonisation and coaching on site: process redesign, side-by-side coaching and change management, with defined data ownership and decision rights.
- Perpetual governance: Governance-as-a-Service with ongoing monitoring, KPI dashboards and codified SOPs.
