Master Data Agent
Detects and corrects master data gaps across ERP, logistics, and manufacturing records.
Monitors and corrects master data across logistics, packaging, and manufacturing domains in the ERP. Applies fixes where the right value is clear and flags gaps with context when a human decision is required.
- −20 to −35%
MRP exception resolution time
The planning system throws fewer exceptions caused by missing or wrong data — and the ones it throws clear faster.
Compares ERP records against authoritative sources
Reads live manufacturing attributes, packaging weights, and logistics configs from the ERP and checks them against PLM revisions, engineering drawings, supplier confirmations, and observed order lead times to identify discrepancies.
Applies corrections where the right value is clear
Writes updates directly to the ERP for routings, BOMs, lot sizes, lead times, planning codes, transport calendars, and lane configurations when the correct value is unambiguous.
Routes uncertain cases to the responsible team
When a discrepancy requires a design or business decision, the agent flags it with supporting context and sends it to the team accountable for that record type.
Keeps SKU packaging records current
Detects missing packaging data on new SKUs, chases the responsible team for input, and updates material weight records by type when packaging changes.
Recomputes EPR fees after packaging changes
When a packaging record is updated, recalculates extended producer responsibility fees for each affected market and writes the revised figures back to the ERP.

Fewer ERP errors reaching planning and logistics
so that planners and logistics teams work from correct routings, lead times, and lane configs rather than spending time tracing data discrepancies back to their source.
EPR compliance data kept current without manual chasing
so that packaging weight records by material type are accurate at reporting time, reducing the risk of incorrect EPR fee calculations and the penalties that follow from them.
- Read/write access to the ERP
- Connects to the ERP (e.g. Infor LN/M3/CloudSuite, Microsoft Dynamics 365, IFS Cloud, or SAP S/4HANA) to read and update manufacturing master data (routings, BOMs, lot sizes, lead times, planning codes) and SKU-level packaging records including material weights and EPR fees. Without this connection, the agent cannot detect gaps or write corrections back to the system of record.
- BOM and routing data from PLM
- Reads current BOM revisions, routing definitions, and engineering specifications from the PLM system (e.g. Siemens Teamcenter, PTC Windchill) to establish the authoritative value for each manufacturing attribute before comparing against the ERP. Without this feed, the agent cannot determine what the correct master data should be and cannot distinguish a data error from a valid design decision.
- Transport calendar and lane data
- Reads transport calendars, transit times, and lane configurations from the TMS or logistics platform (e.g. SAP TM, Blue Yonder, Oracle Transportation Management) to detect missing or incorrect entries and apply fixes where the correct value is unambiguous. Without this access, the agent cannot validate or correct logistics master data.
