Data Collection

Every data initiative begins with the collection of existing MRO master data. Whether digital data is extracted from a legacy system or requires on-site physical data capture, our resources ensure you get started on the right foot.

Services: 

On-site Data Capture

For on-site data, IMA’s spare parts experts perform physical part identification, data capture, and data review. A dedicated team of our experts come to your storeroom location equipped with tablets to enter data and import it into a custom mobile app developed by IMA. A typical onsite capture includes elements such as Manufacturer Name and Part Number, Item Description, and Bin Number/Location.​​

Digital Data Extraction

If your company already has a current set of master data, then the IMA Data Specialists extract your current data and translate it into the IMA data schema. If needed, we can instead create a new taxonomy following your company's rules and requirements.
