Wax Digital Master Data Management

Wax Digital Master Data Management (MDM) delivers a proven, automated means to source, transform, aggregate, and maintain data from multiple channels and then publish tailored views to systems and users as appropriate.

MDM can be deployed either as part of the Wax Digital Source-to-Pay solution set, or it can be used as a stand-alone data management solution.

Source-to-Pay Deployment

In combination with other Wax Digital eProcurement modules, MDM provides a robust, scalable and extremely flexible solution for supplier catalogue management, allowing suppliers to maintain data on the buyers’ behalf, and giving catalogue users a market-leading set of search, select and basket-building tools.

Utilising the Supplier Portal, suppliers can access and update their product and service data, adding rich information and updating prices, descriptions and other attributes. Authorised category managers can review and approve or decline all such amendments, including facilities to approve by exception, and automatically publish approved information at a future date.

Requisitioners see the MDM module as their ‘e-commerce’ interface to buying the right goods and services from the right suppliers at the right prices. They are able to quickly and easily search and select goods and services using powerful search facilities, drill-downs and context-sensitive search tools. Advanced features such as side-by-side product comparison, favourites folders and unlimited data attributes make selection fast, accurate and intuitive.

MDM administrators can assign tailored data views to roles and individual users, restricting their purchasing options in line with corporate policy. Search results and data display options can be set to ensure that returns are prioritised as appropriate – for example always displaying preferred supplier or lowest cost results first.

In tandem with the Wax Digital ESB, the MDM module accepts data from any third party data sources such as warehousing, supplier data feeds and others as required. Data aggregation and normalisation features ensure a consistent view of information to users. Highly efficient data loading and export via spreadsheet makes data updates – for example price file changes – across large catalogues fast and easy.

And so far as scale is concerned, Wax Digital MDM has been architected from the outset to deal with large, complex data sets – indeed Wax Digital’s largest catalogue management environment for a single customer is currently in excess of 5 million items.

Stand-Alone Deployment

Outside of our typical Source-to-Pay solution delivery, Wax Digital MDM is also deployed as a stand-alone system for providing consistent, comprehensive core information across an enterprise. It enables data managers to aggregate, classify and manage large data volumes using multiple data taxonomies to ensure consistency and control in the ongoing maintenance and application use of this information.

Wax Digital MDM is also used as a data publishing tool by organisations that need to create and expose multiple tailored views of information, such as customer-specific product catalogues for publishing to pdf, the internet or a print provider. A simple upload of a customer’s product purchasing history can, for example, be used to generate a tailored view of product data for that customer which can then be sent to a printer for production of a customer-specific branded catalogue.
