What is Syndigo (Riversand) Master Data Management (MDM)?
“Syndigo (Riversand) is the foundation of our digital-first strategy, giving us the structure and governance to manage 10K products, 40 retail outlets, web offers, and an omnichannel environment in the UK.”
ARCO
Master Data is the golden record of data that fuels an enterprise’s ecosystem. It relates to customers, suppliers, products, parts, employees, materials, locations, recipes, and more. An MDM platform consolidates all this information in a single, trusted source of master data which is critical to managing and successfully scaling a business.
With Syndigo Riversand’s future-ready Master Data Management platform, organizations can manage, & govern master data intelligently, optimize your supply chain, create highly engaged customers & drive powerful digital commerce with a unified multi-domain solution.
The true power of MDM is in connecting interactions between multiple data domains. Syndigo is a unified, multi-domain MDM, which ties together customer, location, and product information. For example, an item’s Product domain (attributes, weights and measures, branding) can connect to its Customer domain (materials suppliers, distributors, retailers) as well as the Location domain (all the places where business is transacted).
Common Pain Points that act as MDM project drivers
- Gaps in data governance
- Gaps in master data definition
- Delays in product onboarding and market launch, delays in customer/supplier onboarding
- Regulatory and compliance issues
- Merger and acquisition (M&A) process and data issues
- Data quality, consistency, and synchronization issues
- Lack of robust data validation and data quality metrics
DYK Syndigo (Riversand) has been named “A Leader in “The Forrester Wave: Product Information Management, Q2 2021” report.”
