The client is one of the largest producers of salt for various industries such as water conditioning, industrial, agricultural, food and ice control. The client has over 20+ production facilities across the North America region and footprint over many countries across the globe.

The objective for the client is to update their material database, so that their vendors can search for parts within punch out catalogues. In doing this, while �ۿ۴�ý is solving for data accessibility, the greater impact of such an exercise will be the ability for procurement personnel to have greater negotiating power, with a wider spectrum of data from across vendors.

�ۿ۴�ý will develop the model that can map every material item with an to the equivalent UNSPSC code. This will be accomplished by capitalizing on our AI based technology, combined with domain experts, thereby providing the classification unto the commodity level.

The client has been acquiring various mines, which has made it imperative that they have all their materials classified to one standard classification system. And given that they operate globally, the need to map one classification to another is essential, to continue business without breaking the rhythm of its stride.

Commenting on the new acquisition, C K Bharathan – VP Operations at �ۿ۴�ý said “We are committed to helping our clients transform their businesses through best-in-class MRO data management solutions, improve the ability to negotiate better, and make informed supply chain decisions.”

The post eClass and UNSPSC classification – confusion over standards? appeared first on �ۿ۴�ý.

The more UNSPSC coding is used, the more useful it becomes, and those in charge of UNSPSC classification had multiple challenges ahead of them in order to create a “user friendly” product. The current version was revised in 2001, and has over 18,000 listings. In the US, it competes with the eClass classification system.

UNSPSC is meant for classification (i.e. taxonomy), rather than identification. It aims to categorize products rather than describe them in detail. In mechanical engineering, this means the UNSPSC system is often used in conjunction with more specific standards. For example, the “bearings” category will have a sub-class, “ball bearing” (or “bearing, ball.”)The noun modifier identifies a particular type, but not much else. To fully identify the product, standard attributes, with specific values, must be applied. These allow products listed as “bearing, ball” to be accurately identified for engineering BOMs, product orders etc, using an identifier such as the GS1 GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) system. The UNSPSC coding “language” therefore acts as an interface with company catalogs, industry standard dictionaries etc.

We at �ۿ۴�ý Technologies offer a comprehensive range of and engineering , including classification based on the UNSPSC coding standard.
