Master and Product Data

The foundation your production relies on

Products, materials, specifications, routings and work centres — all in one system. No scattered files or chaotic reference sheets.

  • A single database for products, materials and configurations
  • Matrix BOMs replace hundreds of manual variants
  • Managed process for changes to BOMs and routings at the order level

-50%

Reduced labor costs for maintaining BOMs thanks to Matrix BOMs

-25%

Fewer errors in BOMs and routings

+20%

Faster updates to production processes

How it works

Data that holds production together

A single catalog of BOMs, routings, and work centers ensures transparency and controlled changes at any moment.

Technical data: BOM and routing versions kept in sync with production

Fill in master data

Products, materials, packaging, operations, work centers.

Enter BOMs

Including group BOMs (one BOM replaces hundreds of variants).

Build product multi-level BOMs

The system auto-calculates multi-level assemblies.

Define routings

Set technological operations and alternative sequences.

The data every other module reads

Master data, BOMs, routings, resources, machines and packaging are the foundation planning and costing stand on.

  • Item, class and characteristic master data maintained in one place
  • BOMs and routings versioned, with controlled transition for open orders
  • Machines, work centres and their performance data
  • Packaging data — drums, coils and cut lengths — as first-class objects
  • Every planning, scheduling and costing result traceable to the data behind it

Roles

What will you gain?

Lower costs of maintaining technical data

Why it matters

What master and product data teams get

Lower labour cost for BOMs

Matrix BOMs replace hundreds of manual variants with one structure.

Fewer errors

One source of truth for BOMs and routings cuts mistakes across the plant.

Faster process updates

Changes propagate through a controlled, visible version process.

Customers

Trusted foundations

Matrix BOM allowed us to replace hundreds of BOMs with a single universal one. It cut engineering work by at least 40%.

Liam B.

Design Engineer

Now we clearly see which materials can be substituted. It saved production during supply disruptions.

Noah W.

Procurement & Planning Coordinator

Before, every BOM change took days. Now updates are instantly visible in MOs, and we decide — stick with the old version or switch to the new one.

Oliver S.

Production Planner

By applying alternative routings across lines, we keep machines evenly loaded and downtime under control.
