Challenges faced by the client

The client faced the challenge of building a master supplier database during a multi-year digital transformation for their passenger vehicle division, aiming to ensure robust and standardized data across systems.

Internal challenges

The client was undergoing a complex, multi-year digital transformation initiative and a key part of this transformation was the creation of a centralized master supplier database. However, this effort was hindered by fragmented data spread across multiple systems, inconsistencies in supplier records, and a lack of standardized data governance practices. These internal inefficiencies made it difficult to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and accessibility across departments.

External challenges

Externally, the client faced significant hurdles in cleaning and enriching a large volume of supplier data approximately 25,000 records. Many of these records lacked critical information such as registration IDs, contact details, and KYC documentation.
