Why this is hard
Not because the data is missing. Because it was written five times, by five teams, in five conventions, and no system was ever asked to reconcile them.
A power supply entered as PSU 24VDC 5A SCHNEID ABL8 in one plant and Netzteil Phaseo 24V in another are the same object with nothing in common on screen. Search returns nothing, so somebody orders a new one.
Manufacturer, product range, voltage, mounting, lifecycle status - the attributes people actually filter and compare by are the ones missing. What is left cannot support planning, benchmarking or a sale.
A part sits above maximum in one plant while another raises a purchase order for it at full list price. Both decisions are locally correct and the group pays twice.
Nobody screens the material master for end-of-life components, so obsolescence management happens at the worst possible moment - when the line is down and the part is no longer made. The alternative on offer is a twelve-month data programme nobody finishes.
Three ways to act
Most MRO savings hide in the same file: the prices you pay, the records nobody can read, and the stock everyone forgot. Each path is a separate service - start with whichever hurts most.
Path 01 · Procurement
Every line of your spend compared against the live market, against the price your other plants pay, and against the refurbished equivalent that does the same job.
Path 02 · Warehouse data
Inconsistent, duplicated, half-empty records rebuilt into one standard your ERP and every site can read - from the data you already have, as it is.
Path 03 · Surplus
Idle and above-max stock checked against the rest of the group first, then converted into cash or credit through the recovery route that fits your timeline.
How the work runs
Whichever service you came for, the first two steps are the same file and the same 48 hours. What arrives after that depends on which question you need answered.
Material master or spend file, CSV or Excel, straight out of SAP, Infor, Maximo or a spreadsheet. No pre-cleaning, no field mapping, no access to your systems.
40-50% of your material master resolved against our product catalogue, with manufacturer, part number, attributes and lifecycle status filled in. This is the layer everything else is built on.
Every matched line placed against the live market, purchase price variance by site, and a ranked list of where to renegotiate or switch to refurbished.
Price intelligenceDuplicates surfaced across sites, successors mapped for obsolete parts, criticality and safety stock reviewed, and the file returned in an S/4HANA-ready format.
The Golden RecordAbove-max and idle stock offered to your other plants first, then an outright purchase price and a fulfilment revenue projection for whatever is left.
Asset recoveryYour team's part is the export and the decisions. The matching, enrichment, benchmarking and listing work sits with AutomaMRO Intelligence and the people running it.
Customer story
Automa.Net delivered a comprehensive data cleanup and enrichment engine that has fundamentally changed our workflow. We now successfully avoid external purchases by utilizing the platform's cross-site visibility - sourcing critical parts from our sister plant's existing stock instead of buying new. For duplicated stock alone, we identified significant redundant inventory in a single plant.
Crucially, the platform has reduced potential risks of downtime. Our team now operates with far greater confidence, relying on the system's automated successor data rather than time-consuming manual searches. We've also flagged critical materials that were invisible risks due to missing SAP data.
Where the numbers come from
The benchmark is not a survey and not an index. It is built from live offers published by verified suppliers and from a catalogue of industrial products normalised to manufacturer part numbers.
OEM brands resolved in the catalogue · 9000+ OEM brands
Suppliers and stockists publishing offers · 750+ verified suppliers
The full data provenance, including who supplies the offers, is described on the price intelligence page.
Security & data ownership
You are handing over the list of everything your plants depend on. It is processed to match and enrich your records, and nothing else. It is not sold, not shared with other members, and not published with your company attached to it.
Infrastructure and edge protection
Spare parts insights
Spare parts management is a long-term discipline, not a quarterly cost exercise. Our executive eBook covers strategy, risk and criticality, inventory and surplus decisions, sourcing and the repair-or-replace call.
Within 48 hours you get a mapped view of your material master and a first duplicate list. The priced spend file, the Golden Record and the surplus valuation follow from there. No commitment attached to the result.
