Classify Your MRO Data to Global Standards

Map your material master to UNSPSC, eClass, eOTD, GS1, and custom taxonomies — enabling spend analytics, regulatory compliance, and cross-facility standardization.

Why Classification Matters

Without proper classification, organizations struggle with fundamental operational challenges.

Poor Spend Visibility

Without standardized classification, spend analytics are unreliable. You can't aggregate costs across facilities when each site uses different groupings.

Non-Standard Groupings

Internal material groups created ad hoc vary by facility and user. Reporting requires manual reconciliation that is never fully accurate.

Regulatory Gaps

Industry regulations increasingly require standardized product identification. Non-compliant classifications create audit findings and procurement delays.

Cross-Facility Inconsistency

Mergers, acquisitions, and multi-site operations compound classification problems. The same item can appear under different categories at different locations.

Supported Classification Standards

UNSPSC

United Nations Standard Products and Services Code. Classify to 4-digit segment through 8-digit commodity level for global spend analytics and procurement benchmarking.

eClass

European classification standard with property-value pairs. Map items to eClass categories with full attribute profiles for product data exchange.

eOTD

Equipment Object Tag Dictionary for maintenance-intensive industries. Link materials to equipment hierarchies for reliability-centered maintenance.

GS1

Global Standards for product identification. Assign GTINs, map to GPC brick codes, and enable supply chain interoperability.

Custom Taxonomies

Map to your organization's internal classification schemes. We adapt to your existing category structure or help you build a new one.

Our Classification Process

1

Ingest

Upload your material master data in any format — CSV, Excel, or direct ERP extract

2

Analyze

We profile your data to understand current classification state and identify gaps

3

Classify

Expert analysts and AI-assisted tools assign items to your target taxonomy

4

Validate

Quality assurance review ensures accuracy before delivery back to your system

Multi-Standard Mapping

Many organizations need items classified to multiple standards simultaneously. A single item might require a UNSPSC code for spend reporting, an eClass code for product data exchange, and an internal category for ERP routing.

  • Cross-reference between any two or more classification standards
  • Maintain mapping tables for automated future classification
  • Support regulatory requirements that specify particular taxonomies
  • Enable multi-dimensional reporting across different category views
