Missing weights and dimensions, no customs code, manufacturer names written five different ways. The blanks stop procurement, pricing, item creation and customs handling, and filling them by hand is months of one person's time.
Filling them automatically is easy. Filling them correctly is harder: a wrong number looks exactly like a right one, and the only thing that tells them apart is the source it came from.
InRecipe completes item, parts and equipment records against a curated source library built specifically for industrial equipment and parts, indexed per industry and kept current, so a value can be traced to where it came from rather than inferred.
Generation and verification are separate on purpose. A validator checks every proposed value against its citation before it is written into the record, so nothing grades its own work. Every field comes back one of three ways.
Taken from a manufacturer source, with a citation that points back to it.
Searched, and nothing trustworthy found. A real blank, not a guess.
Bounded, never disguised as fact, and routed to a person to review.
Enriched data is delivered in a form your operational systems take in: ERP, PDM, PIM, CMMS. Getting started does not require an integration project.
Complete item data is rarely the goal in itself. It is what the goal depends on.
Supplier rows become items the ERP accepts, with the evidence attached before anything is created. Once components are described consistently, near-identical items become visible across systems. Spend can be consolidated, and specifications are complete enough to search for an alternative when a component reaches end of life.
Models and reports stop inheriting blanks and five spellings of the same manufacturer. Forecasting and contract pricing improve measurably on the same model, with no change other than the input.
Every value is dated, sourced and attributable, and an estimate is marked as an estimate. An audit reads the record instead of asking people what they remember.
Item masters, spare parts, a device register and supplier price lists. Each case was run on a real industrial company's own data, taken from its own systems. The companies are kept anonymous, and every figure below comes from that work.
An equipment manufacturer with a product master of 6,000 items across 10 groups, covering mechanical hardware, electrical, piping, HVAC and propulsion.
A service company maintaining a register of roughly 2,500 devices on behalf of its business customers.
An equipment manufacturer with a very large spare-parts catalogue.
A technical distributor selling equipment on behalf of its suppliers.
