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?

Industrial master data problems all come from the same cause

Whether it's procurement failures,unreliable maintenance records, or an AI initiative that can't get off theground, the underlying problem is almost always the same. Does any of thissound familiar?

Your ERP has been live foryears, but your team still can't trust the data it produces.

Your AI or predictivemaintenance initiative is stalled because the data isn't structured well enoughto support it.

Different sites, plants, orvessels all manage their data differently — and nothing is consistent.

You know something needs tobe done, but you're not sure where to start or what it will cost.

You've invested in ERP orCMMS upgrades, but the underlying data quality hasn't improved.

MDM is not a one-time project, it's a discipline

MDM covers the full lifecycle ofyour industrial data — from understanding the current state, through cleansing and enriching existing records, building new ones correctly from the start, migrating data between systems, and setting up the governance that keeps quality from degrading over time. Sharecat Data Services provides all of these services as acoordinated capability, not as disconnected one-off fixes.
