Situation

A family-run machinery manufacturer with ~150 employees struggled with fragmented data sources: customer data in Excel, product master in three different systems, no consistent production data. Result: frequent delivery delays, quality issues and rework.

How We Helped

  1. Data Quality Audit (2 weeks): Systematic analysis of all data sources, identifying duplicates and inconsistencies
  2. Master Data Governance: Set up centralized master data registry for customers, products and suppliers
  3. Process Integration: Implemented automated data quality checks in ERP workflows
  4. Team Training: Trained staff on new data standards and tools

Outcome

  • 30% reduction in process errors and rework
  • 200k EUR annual savings from fewer complaints and rework
  • 98% data completeness after 6 months (previously: 73%)
  • Delivery times reduced by average of 2 days
