Specification Data Management (SDM™) software is a specialized data management system that templatizes and standardizes specs across the supply chain, enabling collaboration, accuracy, and improving time-to-market. Specification data captures data elements items such as raw materials, ingredients, formulas, packaging, finished goods, bills of materials (BOMs), quality control documents, and more.
Get a DemoSDM is the foundation for supply chain systems, serving as the core data specification platform that ensures consistency and accuracy across all downstream applications. When companies implement SDM, downstream systems downstream become smarter and more accurate. As a cloud-based SaaS platform, it’s easy to pass data, metadata, and other critical information to other systems, making your SDM platform the ideal single source of truth for all stakeholders.
How does SDM differ from systems like Product Lifecycle Management (PLMs), ERPs (Enterprise Resource Planning), and data visualization tools? ERPs are financial systems, PLMs are used to build complex products like jet engines, and visualization tools are designed to aggregate data, not structure it. These systems were not built to structure, manage, and share data at the specification level. Unlike legacy systems of yesterday, SDM platforms can easily intake data from ERPs, PLMs, and data visualization tools, streamlining outcomes like cost optimization, faster product development, and advanced analytics.
Specright gives brands and suppliers the control over spec data to drive quality, customer delight, and profitability, in one, easy-to-use Specification Management solution.
