Ensuring adequate data quality for supplier data is a major challenge, particularly in the context of meeting the requirements of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act. In order to be able to carry out a comprehensive risk analysis, a large amount of information about suppliers is required, which is often complex and multi-layered.

An essential part of this information is the assignment of suppliers to specific sectors and subsectors or even to NACE codes in order to better assess risks and potential impacts on the supply chain. However, collecting and updating this data can be a major challenge, especially when suppliers operate in different industries or their fields of activity change.

In order to efficiently achieve the required data quality, we are happy to support you with tailor-made solution strategies. Our consultants offer you practical approaches to achieve your goal with calculable effort. This can include, among other things, the implementation of automated data validation systems, the use of databases with industry-specific information or the involvement of suppliers in the data collection and updating process.

Through a holistic approach and the targeted support of our consultants, you can ensure that your supplier data is of high quality and meets the requirements of the Supply Chain Due Diligence Act.

Data export and import of supplier data from ERP systems presents a number of challenges that can impact the quality and consistency of the data. A commonly used method for exporting is the CSV format, but this can have various potential sources of error.

Some of the challenges typically encountered when exporting and importing supplier data include:

1. Date formats: Different ERP systems may use different date formats, which can lead to inconsistencies during export and import. This can lead to misinterpretation or incorrect mapping of data.

2. Postal codes: Postal code formatting may vary by country, which may cause problems when importing into other systems, especially if they are not recognized or converted correctly.

3. Language settings: ERP systems can operate in different language versions, which can lead to inconsistencies in data transfer, especially if the language settings are not configured correctly.

4. Different ERP systems: In large corporate structures, different subsidiaries or departments may use different ERP systems. This leads to additional complications when exporting and importing supplier data, as they may be incompatible or use different data formats.

To meet these challenges and ensure that a legally compliant supplier analysis can be carried out, a comprehensive assessment of the entire supplier base is required, including all subsidiaries and shareholdings. Our data specialists are specialized in overcoming these challenges and will be happy to help you extract, transform and load the data from the various ERP systems to ensure a consistent and reliable data basis for your supplier analysis.
