What is MRO data enrichment?

MRO data enrichment adds missing information to your existing records — manufacturer names, part numbers, technical attributes, and classification codes such as UNSPSC or eClass. It is distinct from data cleansing (fixing errors) and data cataloging (building records from scratch).

What information does Sharecat add during enrichment?

Sharecat adds manufacturer names, verified part numbers, model numbers, technical attributes, and standards alignment (UNSPSC, eClass, or your own class library). All enriched data is sourced from proprietary databases and verified supplier documentation.

What systems does Sharecat deliver enriched data for?

Enriched data is delivered in your ERP or CMMS format — including SAP, Maximo, IFS, and Oracle — ready for direct import without manual transformation.

How does the data enrichment process work?

Sharecat follows a 5-step process: (1) Configuration and assessment of your data structure, (2) a status summary identifying gaps and priorities, (3) enrichment using proprietary sources, (4) validation to verify accuracy before delivery, and (5) delivery in your system format with a full report of changes and sources.

How incomplete is typical industrial ERP data?

Based on Sharecat's analysis, more than 60% of industrial ERP records are missing critical information such as manufacturer names, verified part numbers, or technical attributes — limiting procurement automation, reliability analysis, and AI readiness.

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

Inconsistent data is a silent cost

When different teams, sites, orsuppliers describe the same thing differently, every system that depends on that data produces unreliable results. Does any of this sound familiar?

The same item is describedten different ways across your system — and search returns incomplete resultsevery time.

A system upgrade or datahandover requires UNSPSC or CFIHOS compliance — and your data isn't there yet.

Cross-site reporting isimpossible because different facilities use different classification schemes.

Your ERP can't automateprocurement correctly because item descriptions and classifications areinconsistent.

You're receiving data fromengineering contractors that doesn't conform to your company's standard.

WHAT WE DO

Data standardisation applies a consistent classification and descriptionframework across all your records

It ensures that every item — regardless of which site entered it, which supplier delivered it, or how long ago it was created — is described and classified the same way. Sharecat applies UNSPSC, eClass, CFIHOS, ISO 8000, or your own internal standard, consistently and at scale, using proprietary tooling and specialist industrial knowledge.

WHATS INCLUDED

The service includes:

Current classification assessment — where your data stands against the target standard

CFIHOS implementation — Capital Facilities Information HandOver Specification

Standard selection advisory — which standard best fits your operations, systems, and supply chain

ISO 8000 alignment — international standard for master data quality

UNSPSC classification — UNStandard Products and Services Code applied to all items

Description normalisation — consistent short text and long text formats across all records

Delivery report with fullmapping of all classification and description changes applied

eClass classification — cross-industry product and service standard

Our 5-step enrichment process

1

Standards assessment

We review your current data andidentify where it deviates from the target standard — quantifying gaps acrossclassification, description format, and field completeness.

2

Standard selection andmapping

We confirm the right standard for your operations and map your existing data structures and descriptions to the target classification framework.

3

Classification

Our specialists classify every item according to the agreed standard, using proprietary tooling and reference data to ensure accuracy and consistency at scale.

4

Description normalisation

We apply your agreed short text and long text formats consistently across all records, aligned to the classification structure.

5

Validation and Delivery

All changes are validated forstandards compliance before delivery. You receive a full mapping report anddata in your ERP or CMMS import format.

WHAT YOU GET

Standardised data unlocks capabilities that inconsistent data blocks

Consistent data across all sites and systems

Every item described and classified the same way — regardless of which site, supplier, or system it came from.

Reporting that works across your organisation

When data follows a common standard, cross-site and cross-system reporting produces reliable results without manual reconciliation.

Supply chaininteroperability

Suppliers and contractors can exchange data with your systems without translation — because both sides use the same language.

Compliance andhandover readiness

Data that meets UNSPSC, eClass, CFIHOS, or ISO 8000 requirements — documented, traceable, and audit-ready.
