A global leader in aeronautical equipment and systems for commercial, regional, and business aircraft, as well as helicopters and space applications, this company designs and manufactures innovative solutions that enhance passenger comfort, onboard facilities, and aircraft performance.
With continued growth in its services division, which manages a global distribution network for spare components, equipment maintenance, and tailored support for air operators, the need for an enhanced Master Data Management (MDM) solution became apparent. Streamlined, efficient data management was critical for ensuring operations could scale and support the company’s diverse global needs.

Before implementing Semarchy, this global aerospace leader faced critical operational challenges that threatened to impact their market leadership:

Legacy systems holding back growth
The company relied on Excel for data storage, making it difficult to consolidate information and create a single entry point for post-sales activities. They also needed to integrate millions of records from their ERP system, which required a scalable solution to handle growing data volumes without compromising speed or accuracy.

Risk of non-compliance and quality issues
The company struggled to align data definitions and maintain consistency with data coming from multiple sources. Verifying data integrity and compliance across global teams became increasingly complex without a unified governance framework.

Business intelligence gaps
Inconsistent data across systems meant no single source of truth for customer, article, and supplier information, which impacted decision-making and operational efficiency.

With their position as a market leader at stake, the company needed a robust MDM solution that could transform their data infrastructure while maintaining continuous operations. They required a partner who understood both the technical complexities of aerospace manufacturing and the operational demands of global service delivery.

The aeronautical manufacturer selected Semarchy’s Data Platform due to its flexibility and iterative approach. Semarchy allowed them to build their data apps step-by-step, scaling gradually while integrating existing data into the system without losing previously completed work. 

By leveraging Semarchy, the company consolidated their strategic data management, integration, and governance into one unified platform, resulting in:

• Strategic Data Management: Bringing together data from multiple sources with ease.
• Powerful Data Integration: Seamlessly integrating data from ERP systems for accuracy and consistency.
• Intuitive Data Governance: Empowering teams to manage and govern critical data across the organization collaboratively.

Thanks to the implementation of Semarchy’s solution, the global manufacturer achieved significant improvements:

• Improved business reporting & BI: Enhanced data quality led to better insights and more accurate reporting.
• Democratized data access: Data was made accessible in an understandable format, improving team collaboration.
• Streamlined governance: The company achieved robust data governance for data consistency across all departments.
• Efficient financial reporting: Integration with SAP BFC for faster and more accurate financial consolidation.
