ServicesAI Prerequisite · Data Architecture

Product data scattered across ERP, spreadsheets, and legacy systems is an operational liability.

We design and build the data architecture that connects your product catalog, attributes, pricing, and inventory into a single governed source — accurate, complete, and owned by you.

The Problem

Why AI Projects Fail Before They Start

  • Product master data split across ERP, spreadsheets, and legacy systems with no single source of truth
  • Item attributes incomplete or inconsistent — AI surfaces wrong specs, wrong pricing, wrong availability
  • No data governance — the same cleanup work gets done repeatedly with no lasting fix
  • AI built on bad data delivers confident wrong answers, which is worse than no AI at all
What We Deliver

AI Data Foundation

01

Data Architecture Design

Map every data domain — items, BOMs, customers, pricing, inventory — and design the architecture that makes each system the authoritative source for what it owns. No duplication, no conflicts.

02

Master Data Cleansing

Audit, deduplicate, and enrich your product master data. Item attributes, classification hierarchies, unit of measure consistency, and pricing logic — cleaned to the standard your AI requires.

03

ERP + PIM Integration

Connect ERP operational data to PIM product content so every downstream system — dealer portal, CPQ, AI agent — reads from one governed source. Changes propagate automatically.

04

Data Governance Framework

Define ownership, update procedures, and quality standards for each data domain. Without governance, data quality degrades within 90 days of any cleanup effort.

05

AI Readiness Validation

Test data quality against the specific requirements of the AI systems being built — completeness, consistency, latency, and format. Confirm the foundation before the AI is deployed.

06

Ongoing Data Operations

Establish the operational processes and tooling that keep data clean over time — import workflows, validation rules, exception handling, and quality monitoring dashboards.

How It Works

The Engagement Process

01

Data Audit

Inventory every data domain and profile quality across completeness, consistency, duplicates, and accuracy. You know exactly what you are working with before any work starts.

02

Architecture Design

Define the authoritative source for each data domain, the integration contracts between systems, and the governance model that keeps them aligned.

03

Cleansing & Enrichment

Execute the cleanup — deduplication, standardization, attribute enrichment, and conflict resolution — with business stakeholder sign-off at every stage.

04

Integration Build

Build the integrations that keep data synchronized across ERP, PIM, and operational systems. API or middleware, real-time or batch, governed by data contracts.

05

Validation

Test data quality against AI system requirements. Run trial deployments against the cleaned data to confirm outputs are accurate before production launch.

06

Governance Handoff

Document ownership, update procedures, and monitoring for each data domain. The infrastructure stays clean because the process stays governed.

Every engagement starts with an assessment.

We scope work after we understand your operation — not before. The Launchpad assessment maps where you are, quantifies what it's costing you, and sequences what to do first.
