The process starts with a standards assessment to identify gaps, followed by standard selection, data mapping, consistent application across all records, and validation before delivery. A full mapping report is provided showing all classification and description changes applied.

Sharecat works with UNSPSC, eClass, CFIHOS (Capital Facilities Information HandOver Specification), ISO 8000, ISO 14224, NORSOK, IEC standards, DEXPI, and company-specific class libraries. Our team includes active participants in working groups for several of these standards.

Without standardisation, different teams and systems describe the same items differently — making cross-site reporting unreliable, procurement automation difficult, and system integration costly. Standardisation is the foundation that makes every other data initiative more effective.

MRO data standardisation applies a consistent classification and description framework across all your records — ensuring that every item, regardless of which site entered it or which supplier provided it, is described and classified the same way. Sharecat applies UNSPSC, eClass, CFIHOS, ISO 8000, or your own internal standard.
