Product codes are company complex coding schemes intended to uniquely identify products. In most cases however, these “intelligent” identifiers are a compilation of smaller codes, each with their own meaning.

Over time, end users typically bend the rules of product coding, and create redundant and otherwise invalid product identifiers and before long, a search of the product database can be an intimidating task.

Through our analysis, we will document the various segments of the product coding definitions used throughout the history of your company, and will then map the product codes to these individual segments.

The result of this analysis creates a map of related products, which in some cases are redundant. Eliminating this kind of redundancy has a direct impact on the bottom line, because the inventories will be consolidated and the invalid product references are eliminated, so they do not cause further corruption.
