Case Study: ElringKlinger improves spare parts data quality with SPARETECH

ElringKlinger boosts spare parts data completeness to 98% with SPARETECH

ElringKlinger AG, a global automotive system partner, faced significant challenges with its spare parts master data. The data was plagued by duplicates, incomplete entries, and a lack of transparency, which led to inefficient searches, high procurement costs, and increased inventory. Seeking to reduce inventory while ensuring part availability, their maintenance team turned to the vendor SPARETECH and its software solution to clean and manage their data.

SPARETECH implemented its app, which utilizes a vast reference database and intelligent matching algorithms to cleanse ElringKlinger's data and prevent future duplicates. The results were substantial: over 2,200 duplicates were cleaned up, data completeness rose from 72% to 98%, and procurement costs were avoided. SPARETECH enabled efficient cross-plant spare parts management and helped ElringKlinger sustainably optimize its inventory levels.
