Extend the ROI of your IT Investments
Most supply chain projects start by customizing the application layer, then get bottlenecked waiting for scarce IT resources to connect up all the disparate data silos that lie beneath. And every time Supply chain teams try to cobble together a single view in emails and spreadsheets for a new project or fire drill, they end up creating another virtual silo.
UnitySCM seamlessly integrates with a wide range of data sources, and easily fills in the gaps of incomplete supply chain data, providing new insights while freeing your IT team from the burden of complex data normalization projects.
Data ingestion

• ERP, WMS, and TMS systems
• Emailed attachments and Zip files
• HTML tables from supplier websites
• Specific cell ranges in Excel/CSV files
Data quality & enrichment
Proactively identify and fix data quality issues. Enrich your internal data with third-party services to fuel more useful insights. Automatically feed improved data back into your system of record to enrich it with context such as:
