Data Cleansing

Even when your MRO data is housed in a single system, it can still be difficult to work with if it’s inconsistent, incomplete, or duplicated. Variations on how items are described can lead to confusion, inefficiency, and missed opportunities.

​

This is where data cleansing becomes essential. It’s the process of transforming raw, messy data into a clean, standardized, and usable resource. 

​

Whether you’re kicking off a full scale implementation or tackling a backlog of problematic records, IMA offers two flexible approaches to meet your needs:

  • Target Cleanse: A fast, flexible service focused on cleaning smaller, high priority subsets ideal for resolving urgent pain points, onboarding new suppliers, or integrating M&A data.

  • Project Cleanse: A full, end to end data cleansing engagement tailored to standardize and enhance your entire dataset.

 

Both services are tailored to your unique specifications. From schema design to final formatting, we deliver clean consistent data that’s ready to upload into your system with zero disruption.

 

Every client receives a custom Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) defining the schema, abbreviations, formatting rules, and policies that will govern the cleanse. Whether you need just a few critical fields standardized or a full enrichment across your item master, IMA’s solutions are built to scale.
