Getting master data migration-ready for a new ERP system

A complete master data inventory was prepared for around 500 components ahead of an ERP migration. All data was structured and made ready for automatic import.

Collaboration

Remotely

Beumer Group is an internationally recognised provider of automated intralogistics systems for sectors including aviation, e-commerce and manufacturing. As part of a wider digitalisation programme, the organisation was preparing to implement SAP Business One as its new ERP platform.

A system migration depends on the quality of the underlying data. In this case, data for hundreds of components ordered over the years had not yet been fully documented.


The challenge
For around 500 items, essential attributes such as weight, dimensions and classification were missing. Without that information, a reliable import into the new ERP system was not possible, putting the migration timeline at risk.


Blackbear's role
Blackbear helped define the scope clearly and engaged a specialist with the right mix of precision, technical aptitude and independence. Because the deliverable, deadline and expectations were sharply defined from the start, the work could begin immediately and stay focused on a reliable outcome.


Result
Around 500 items were fully enriched with the required master data, carefully sourced from supplier websites and recorded in a structured Excel file. The final deliverable was ready for automatic import into SAP Business One and supported a smooth ERP migration.
