Master data centralised for a network of 100+ car dealerships

A national network of more than 100 car dealerships moved from 100 separate databases to central MDM and a group ERP. The material and business partner domains held 3.5 million records.

The task

From a hundred databases to one master data model

As part of its digital transformation, the network needed one way to manage materials and business partners across all dealerships, with central systems and a team to run them.

What we did

Processes, data and systems

  • Target master data management processes designed and implemented, fitted to the business and IT architecture
  • Migration templates, classifications and an ontology developed
  • 100,000 material and business partner records cleansed
  • New MDM and group ERP systems launched
  • Documentation: process SOPs, cleansing methodology, master data team charter, user guides

Scope

A national network

  • More than 100 dealerships
  • 3.5 million records in the material and business partner domains
  • MDM and group ERP integrated with the IT landscape through middleware

Results

One master data model for the whole network

  • 96 domains centralised and migrated to the new systems

  • Master data records reduced by 87% after duplicate detection and analysis of stock and purchases

  • A master data team launched with target SLAs for quality and speed, under one agreed master data concept
