HAGEMEYER AUSTRALIA, INC. SELECTS SILVER CREEK SYSTEMS TO MASTER ITS CATALOGS
Semantic-based Technology Drives Master Data Standards for International Distributor
WESTMINSTER, Colo. – (August 7, 2008) – Silver Creek Systems® today announced that Hagemeyer Australia, Inc., the leading value-added B2B distributor of electrical, safety and MRO products and services to the construction, industrial and OEM markets in Asia Pacific, has selected the company’s DataLens™ System to automate the standardization of Hagemeyer Australia’s master product catalog as well as assist with automating the quotation process – resulting in improved customer satisfaction at lower costs.
“We have a large product catalog and making sure it conforms to our standards is a constant battle,” said Andy Wild, CIO of Hagemeyer Australia. “We had tried a number of technology approaches, with mixed results, until we found the DataLens System. Silver Creek Systems’ semantic-based approach is a quantum-leap improvement over traditional technologies, and whilst we are still in the implementation phase, we are very pleased with the results we are getting.” Continued Wild, “We will be using the DataLens System to master our product catalog and drive standardization of approximately 400,000 items across many categories. Real-time item mastering and matching customer requests against our catalog will have a very positive impact on the quality and cost of operations — and ultimately customer satisfaction.”
The DataLens System uses next-generation semantic recognition to deliver automated enterprise data mastering that standardizes, enriches, matches and repurposes data from any source for use across any enterprise system.
“Distributors and manufacturers have some of the most complex data mastering problems,” said Barbara Mowry, president and CEO of Silver Creek Systems. “We are delighted to have Hagemeyer Australia as a customer, and we look forward to helping them continue to drive master data standards through their catalog and business to extend the value of their current infrastructure.”
