Case Study: Speira improves spare parts data quality and efficiency with SPARETECH

Speira cuts material creation time from 20-30 minutes to 5 minutes with SPARETECH

Speira, a leading European aluminum rolling and recycling company, faced significant challenges in managing its MRO spare parts data across multiple plants. With over 72,000 master records, their process relied on manual Excel file exchanges, leading to a high workload, poor data quality with duplicate entries, and a time-consuming process that took 20-30 minutes to create each new material entry. They partnered with vendor SPARETECH to implement its spare parts management software with the goal of standardizing workflows and improving data quality.

SPARETECH implemented a solution featuring seamless integration with Speira's SAP system via an API. This automated the data exchange, introduced standardized digital workflows for material creation, and enabled automated duplicate checking. The results were substantial, reducing the time to create a new material entry from 20-30 minutes to just 5 minutes. The solution also improved master data quality and provided the foundation for significant inventory optimization, allowing Speira to reduce its spare parts inventory by €135,000.
