What is Comarch Master Data Management?

Providing data-driven enterprises with a real competitive advantage 


The more we know about how important for business growth effective data-sharing is, the more we realize that it is not just about how fast information is distributed among buyers and suppliers. It is also about the quality and transparency of the exchanged data.

To help you synchronize your product data with all trading partners, we deliver Comarch Master Data Management - a cloud-based, GDSN certified data pool that allows you to organize, verify, manage, and maintain business-relevant information with ease. Providing each authorized party with instant access to a shared database, it guarantees real-time updates - giving you and your partners a chance to track all critical changes in the product register as they happen. 

Not only does our product eliminate chaotic email or paper communication - frequently resulting in double data entry or human errors - but it can also be integrated with internal master data systems to improve data flow. As a result, Comarch MDM enables you to optimize your business operations and achieve better results in no time.

    1. 01 PRODUCT DATA MANAGEMENT
      2. Our cloud-based platform enables producers and distributors to register their products while assigning and updating hundreds of attributes divided into several categories via direct integration with internal IT systems (EDI files), file upload or web-based applications. The selection of parameters is adapted to the requirements of the retailer you are exchanging product data with.

      Using Comarch MDM, suppliers can handle attributes into those that are general and available to all retailers (e.g. ingredients), and those that are dedicated (e.g. prices) – visible only to selected business partners.

      Comarch MDM enables different methods of data entry (web form, uploading a file or EDI format) designed to meet the expectations and capabilities of your company. 
    2. 02 DATA ENRICHMENT
      3. Comarch MDM provides suppliers with the possibility to enrich and refine product data information before the product card is sent to a retailer.

      The Comarch MDM application can be connected to an external provider of product data. In that case, instead of manual data input, our system downloads all the missing information while creating a new product card.
    3. 03 DATA VALIDATION
      4. Both entering data into the system as well as its approval takes place in accordance with the previously defined rules. Additionally, all data is validated automatically - based on the determined data model and validation rules.

      Comarch MDM provides suppliers with the possibility to give individual departments permission to authorize certain parameters (e.g. purchasing, logistics, or accounting).
    4. 04 PRODUCT SEARCH / OFFERING TOOL
      5. The use of Comarch MDM gives the supplier the opportunity to respond to call for tenders gathered from retailers, thus it allows the user to include more products provided by the supplier in the retailer's offer. 
    5. 05 DATA-SHARING WITH RETAILERS
      6. The Comarch MDM application allows the supplier to easily share its product data - verified and created in the correct format - with all retailers. Data can be exchanged both via the GDSN network with other certified data pools or directly - if both sides agree on the terms.

    DATA-SHARING WITH RETAILERS

    The Comarch MDM application allows the supplier to easily share its product data - verified and created in the correct format - with all retailers. Data can be exchanged both via the GDSN network with other certified data pools or directly - if both sides agree on the terms.

    1. 01 PRODUCT DATA MANAGEMENT
      2. Our cloud-based platform enables retailers to manage all product data with ease. It provides one central product data repository that collects and processes information about all products available on the shelves in a clear and easy way. The selection of parameters is adapted to the requirements of a retailer.
    2. 02 DATA ENRICHMENT
      3. Comarch MDM provides buyers with the possibility to enrich and refine product data – a valuable functionality for any modern enterprise. Information provided by the vendor may not include information required by the buyers' internal systems (e.g. internal product codes). Thus, our product allows to fill in all the missing elements.
    3. 03 APPROVAL / WORKFLOW
      4. The process of data approval is different for each organization. Thus, we offer a flexible workflow engine that enables the retailer to individually define the vendor and product data approval process. This may be executed simultaneously in several departments or in the correct order, and be defined by a particular set of attributes.
    4. 04 PRODUCT SEARCH / OFFERING TOOL
      5. Comarch MDM enables the retailer to send inquiries and collect offers from its business partners as well as find products in the directory encompassing all trading partners in a short time.

      Plus, the call for tenders functionality gives you the opportunity to examine the market in accordance with the needs of the network. On the basis of responses sent by suppliers, the network narrows down the number of offers for which the referencing request is prepared. Later on, in response to that request, a retailer receives a full product card.

      The subscription mechanism in the GDSN model provides automatic information updates, occurring as soon as new products (or new versions of a given product, categories or suppliers) become available.
    5. 05 FACILITATED COMMUNICATION WITH ALL PARTNERS
      6. Comarch MDM enables fast and easy communication with all suppliers and producers to help retailers verify any parameter or its compliance with the company's requirements.
    6. 06 INTEGRATION

      7. Integration with internal systems - individual attributes are assigned to appropriate systems, including WMS, CRM, POS, ERP.

    Synchronization via GDSN

    Supporting real-time, accurate & secure data sharing, Comarch MDM guarantees that once one of your suppliers or retailers updates their register, your own database will be simultaneously completed with those changes. As a result, each authorized party has access to the same, up-to-date, high-quality information.
