We were brought in to address urgent challenges:
Inconsistent and Incomplete Data:
Thousands of material attributes, including weight and key sustainability metrics, suffered from disparate definitions, missing information and inaccuracies.
Operational Inefficiencies:
Developers spent excessive time manually correcting errors with suppliers via email, slowing time to market.
Regulatory Risks:
Emerging sustainability regulations in Mexico and the EU exposed compliance gaps and required granular reporting that existing data could not support.
Eroded Trust in Data:
Teams across the organization hesitated to rely on data for decision-making, limiting innovation initiatives like 3D product design and AI-driven product development, constraining operational efficiency.
Recognizing that consistent, accurate data was key to achieving sustainability objectives, enhancing compliance and driving innovation, the client partnered with Kalypso to establish a comprehensive data governance program.
Kalypso’s data governance framework focused on three critical success factors:
1
Standards and Policies
Kalypso helped define clear data standards for all material attributes. These standards covered over 150,000 materials, detailing the attributes needed for each material type and use case.
2
Tools and Dashboards
A customized dashboard offered leadership real-time insight into data accuracy. Developers used detailed audit tools to spot errors and prioritize fixes with high business impact.
3
Cross-Functional Collaboration
We collaborated on data initiatives with teams from sustainability, legal, supply chain and product design. Our governance plan created strong cross-functional alignment by clearly showing how data impacts each team's work, building data trust and driving adoption.
Implementing the data governance transformation program resolved immediate challenges, increased data trust and set the stage for broader enterprise initiatives
The program continues to deliver measurable value by supporting AI adoption and preparing the company for emerging regulations. Building on this success, the organization is expanding its data governance initiatives, with Kalypso continuing as a trusted partner providing the insights and tools needed to achieve strategic goals.
