Master data management purpose-built for industrial materials
Verdantis MDM Suite normalizes, enriches, and governs material, equipment, supplier, and customer master data, built for production-intensive operations, not adapted from a generic MDM platform. Plug-and-play, operational within the first week of setup.
Industrial material data breaks in ways generic MDM was never built to catch
Materials, equipment, and supplier records accumulate across every ERP instance, plant, and acquisition an organization has ever made. Left alone, that data doesn't just get messy, it actively costs money: duplicate purchases, mismatched specs on the shop floor, and procurement teams negotiating with a supplier already on file under a different name.
The same entity, ten different names
"GE" and "General Electric" sit in the system as two suppliers. A pump seal gasket is filed under three different descriptions across three plants. Nothing is technically wrong, and nothing lines up.
Generic MDM takes months to configure
Standard MDM platforms ship with a rule-based dictionary built for retail and consumer data. Industrial domains like MRO and indirect materials need months of manual configuration before they're usable.
Bad data compounds downstream
Incomplete material records lead directly to duplicate purchasing and misclassified inventory. Industry benchmarks put 25 to 40% of MRO inventory at asset-heavy sites as excess, obsolete, or duplicated.
What is master data management?
Master data management is the practice of creating one trusted, authoritative record for each core business entity, materials, equipment, suppliers, customers, by consolidating and reconciling data pulled from every system that touches it.
Instead of a material record that reads three different ways across the ERP, the CMMS, and a spreadsheet a planner keeps on the side, MDM produces one "golden record": complete, accurate, and consistent everywhere it's used.
MDM as a discipline
The governance principles, ownership, and cross-department agreement that keep data trustworthy over time. This is a people and process problem as much as a technical one.
MDM as a technology
The software that automates it: deduplication, enrichment, categorization, and validation, so the discipline doesn't rely on manual review to hold up at scale.
Two modules, one continuous data lifecycle
Harmonize cleans up the legacy mess. Integrity keeps new records from becoming the next one. Most organizations license both together; Harmonize can also run standalone.

Govern, Ongoing
Normalizes legacy master data
- Deduplicates records across ERP systems and sites
- Structures loose, unstructured product descriptions into defined fields
- Categorizes records against accepted taxonomies (UNSPSC, eClass, and others)
- Enriches missing technical specifications and identifiers
- Synchronizes records across every connected system
Governs master data records
- Validates new records against completeness and correctness rules before approval
- Configurable approval workflows define who reviews and at what threshold
- Continuously monitors live records for attribute drift and duplicate creation
- Flags quality degradation for review as an ongoing system state, not a periodic project
Always compatible with SAP MDG and other major ERP systems.
Six agents, each a discrete capability
Every agent runs a specific, bounded task inside the platform. Approved outputs write back to your ERP or CMMS after human sign-off, never automatically.
AutoEnrich AI
Queries public registries and OEM documentation to fill missing attributes in spare parts and materials records, without manual lookup.
Learn more →AutoSpecs
Extracts structured technical attributes from free-text descriptions, turning "PUMP CENTRIF 316SS 50HP" into a standardized, queryable record.
Learn more →AutoDoc
Uses OCR and NLP to pull structured master data straight out of PDFs, contracts, purchase orders, and OEM manuals.
Learn more →AutoTrans
Normalizes and governs data records across languages, so a record created in German meets the same standard as one created in English.
Learn more →SpareSeek AI
Identifies spare parts and recommends alternate options, with vendor names and cost, when the original is hard to source.
Learn more →ObsoCheck AI
Detects parts discontinued by the manufacturer and surfaces certified replacement alternatives before they cause an unplanned stoppage.
Learn more →Purpose-built for the domains generic MDM treats as an afterthought
Materials and equipment data specifically, indirect materials and MRO, are the hardest domains for traditional MDM platforms to handle. This is where the specialization lives.
Material Master Data
Direct, indirect, and packaging materials. Processes unstructured descriptions with Agentic AI enrichment, categorizes against accepted taxonomies, and extracts structured technical specifications. Learn more
Equipment / Asset Master Data
Fixed and movable asset data, including asset hierarchy and parent-child relationships. Advanced implementations map every spare part to the assets it's used on via Asset BOMs. Learn more
Supplier Master Data
Rationalizes vendor names, enriches records with parent entity and subsidiary structures, tax IDs, and standardized addresses. Links materials to preferred and non-preferred suppliers. Learn more
Customer Master Data
Industrial-grade customer data, integrated with material, supplier, and asset records for a full operational view, with third-party enrichment for firmographics. Learn more
Also supported: Services master data, Finance master, and Transportation master, for organizations that need broader coverage alongside their industrial domains.
Purpose-built, not a science project
Questions we hear most
What's the actual difference between Harmonize and Integrity?
Harmonize cleans up the legacy data you already have. Integrity stops new bad data from entering the system going forward. Most clients run both; Harmonize alone is available if that's all you need.
How long does implementation take?
Verdantis MDM Suite is plug-and-play, and is typically operational within the first week of setup, a fraction of the months generic MDM platforms need to configure for industrial data.
Does this work with SAP?
Yes. Integrity is built to be compatible with SAP MDG and other major ERP systems, so governance rules apply on top of the system you already run, not instead of it.
What is a "golden record"?
The single, deduplicated, fully enriched version of a record, materials, equipment, suppliers, that every system references instead of each holding its own conflicting copy.
Why not just use a generic MDM platform?
Generic platforms ship with a rule-based dictionary built for retail and consumer data. Industrial domains like MRO and indirect materials need months of manual configuration before they're usable. Verdantis is trained on that data from day one.
What data domains are covered?
Materials and equipment/asset data are the primary specialization, alongside supplier and customer master data. Services, finance, and transportation master data are also supported.
Do the AI agents write directly to my ERP?
No. Every agent recommends an action, an enrichment, a substitute part, a flagged duplicate, and a human approves it before anything writes back to the ERP or CMMS.
Is Harmonize actually patented, or is that marketing language?
Harmonize is a patented normalization solution. It's a legitimate technical differentiator, not a loosely used claim.
Can this handle data in multiple languages?
Yes, via the AutoTrans agent, which normalizes and governs records across languages so a record created in German meets the same completeness standard as one created in English.
What happens to duplicate supplier records, like "GE" versus "General Electric"?
Harmonize's semantic matching recognizes corporate hierarchies and entity equivalences, going beyond simple fuzzy text matching to consolidate records like these automatically.
