Innovation and Automation in Supply Chain Management regard a process in which communication flows and the Areas are connected through clear and intelligible information regarding Materials and Services that are an input or are produced through this Chain.

Cataloteca is a SAAS system, that meets the main information security requirements. Cataloteca supports companies to obtain a standardized database, it means that there will not have duplicated SKUs and the all of them will be categorized according to the taxonomy based on the Material`s attributes and characteristics.

It is the Intelligent Catalog of PDMs and Items cleaned and standardized!

Who is it for?

All companies that need to connect and manage their internal processes - Planning, Production, Logistics, Purchasing, Sales, Accounting, Taxes - as well need to interact clearly with their main Stakeholders - Suppliers, Customers, Government - find in Cataloteca a source of PDMs and Structured Data that are used in different business segments.

Using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Cataloteca offers to user a unique experience of quickly and accurately searching for materials and duplicate analysis, optimizing the time for individual data analysis and guaranteeing the Management and Maintenance of standardized Database.

What Problem Does It Solve?

The lack of Database Standardization has led companies to act reactively in situations of inconsistent and incomplete request specification, wrong purchases, cost of returns and exchanges, which include logistical cost, production stoppage and operational cost of reworks.

A Base without standard and with duplicates, also generates impacts on storage costs, inventory inconsistencies, losses in fiscal interactions and use of benefits and tax exemption.

The importance of using the Taxonomy is evidenced in the possibility of the Areas, mainly Procurement, to generate reports and analyzes of Spend by categories and products, which direct the Management and approach strategies in the supplier market and control of the main Cost Drivers and opportunities with application of the TCO on company acquisitions.

It is also possible to use the Cataloteca to compile and unify the base of different companies, which now belong to a single Business Group.

Cataloteca benefits:

Automation of Database Cleaning and Governance

Through AI and Machine Learning, Base Sanitation and Registration Governance become easier and more agile, as the Cataloteca indicates duplicates with a % similarity between the registered items and allows the user to verify when an item already exists in the base, suggesting options for the search.

Cataloteca already uses robots that keep the list of possible NCMs up to date for classification during sanitation or registration of a new item.

The Item Inheritance Functionality allows the user to search for already standardized items in the Cataloteca database, according to their permissions and user profile.

Registration Governance

Flow Management

Cataloteca makes it possible for the management of new registrations to take place on platform, with the definition of user profiles and the creation of a workflow for approval of new registrations, following the guidelines of the Registration Governance Policy defined by each company.

This flow is supported by the traceability of the entire process, which enables compliance and data integrity in the company's Registration Base, inclusion of items in stock or items that need specific quality control.

Uploading databases and

Systems Integration

Ease of inclusion of large bases for analysis, sanitation and standardization of items through a load template.

It is also possible to integrate the Cataloteca with the company's ERP, facilitating the flow of data and database updates.

Dashboard and Project Control

It is possible to carry out Project Management, by opening specific Jobs, delegating activities to material analysts, project progress and controlling the status of each item in the base, divided by:

• Cleaned (where the standardization process was finalized)
• Duplicates (Identified with more than 1 code that indicate the same item of a PDM)
• Incomplete (which need more information to complete the completion of the PDM)
• Obsolete (which were indicated for blocking in the customer base because they are no longer used or have been discontinued by the manufacturers).
