Don't let the trial migration be where you find out how bad the item master really is.
If the same item appears five times and the same partner has three different names in three systems, the result is wrong orders, wrong stock data and disputed reports, and in a system replacement the migration slips. We create a trusted item, partner and vendor master that stays the same in every system, where new entries can only be added after checks and approval. In a system replacement, it is this clean master that we move into the new system.
Assessment in 3-4 weeks · independent of the ERP · a supplier to the integrator, not a competitor
This is what we hear from IT leaders and from heads of master data management and supply chain.
“I can’t trust the stock data, because every system says something different.”
Head of supply chain, large enterprise
“I can’t tell which system is telling the truth about an item.”
CIO, large enterprise
“I don’t want to find out about the disruption after the fact.”
Head of supply chain, large enterprise
“Creating a new item shouldn’t take days.”
Head of master data management, large enterprise
“I don’t want the trial migration to be where we find out how bad the item master is.”
CIO, large enterprise
“A key product shouldn’t run out while the system says there is stock.”

Our expert will tell you whether it fits your situation.
Trial migrations typically fail on the data. If the duplicates and incomplete records only come to light at the trial migration, the CEO asks the IT leader about the delay, even though the deadline was not theirs to set.

In 3-4 weeks we count how many duplicates, missing fields and ownerless records there are in your masters.
We design the master data model and the rules, then cleanse the item, partner and vendor masters.
New entries can only be added, and existing ones changed, in the CER master data management system, after checks and approval.
The integration sends the same data to the ERP, the webshop, the warehouse system and the CRM.
You can start with any of them; the other two are built on the same foundation. We do not sell ERP, so in an ERP replacement, for example an SAP S/4HANA or Infor LN project, we are a supplier to the integrator: they bring the system, we bring the data.
New items can only be created after a request and approval, and AI Item Search flags it if a similar item already exists.
Every item, partner and vendor has a single trusted record, and the integration passes it on to every system.
We cleanse and map the data, run trial migrations with reconciliation reports, and then comes the cutover.
An error comes to light when it occurs, long before the trial migration.
Who it is for: CIOs, heads of data, procurement and logistics leaders, and ERP project managers. For manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers, utilities and transport companies with thousands of items and several systems. Also for subsidiaries within a group, since we do not touch the group system.
Access to the source systems, and a data owner on your side who decides on the rules.
The assessment takes 3-4 weeks, a clean item master 8-12 weeks, and in a system replacement we align with the replacement schedule. The price depends on the number of records and systems.
CER item master management (in front of SAP), AI Item Search, data cleansing and validation, data integration, and data migration experience gained at banks.
We do not implement the ERP, we do not sell licences, and we do not redesign the processes. We do not replace your data owner either.

In 2-4 weeks, the Situation Assessment shows where most time goes on manual work and how many hours a week that adds up to. It costs HUF 199,000 + VAT, which we deduct from the price of your first development. If we do not find at least 20 hours a week of replaceable manual work, we refund the fee.
No, it works alongside any ERP. CER can also be used in front of SAP, and the integration sends the same master data to every connected system.
The integrator brings the system, we bring the data: we cleanse and map it, run trial migrations with reconciliation reports, and manage the cutover.
No. We can start with a clean item master, or with one trusted master serving your systems. If a system replacement comes later, it builds on the same foundation.
No. We solve it locally, at the subsidiary; we do not touch the group system.
We price the assessment, the clean item master and the integration or migration separately, and each depends on the number of records and systems. We give you an exact quote after the Situation Assessment or a conversation with one of our experts.
If permissions and the document store also need putting in order.
