Managing complex, decentralized supply chains spanning multiple geographies and product lines can be challenging. With STEP, you can establish a centralized, governed data foundation that streamlines supplier onboarding, standardizes data for downstream integrations, and maintains regulatory compliance.
By connecting relationships across products and markets, you gain full supply chain transparency, making it easier to improve inventory management, procurement efficiency, and supplier performance while reducing BOM non-compliance. The unified data foundation also enables you to align quicker to demand shifts, changing sales forecasts, demand for product variants, and the need for agility due to tariffs and other supply disruptions.

To support downstream sharing and syndication, it’s essential to align, enrich, and govern product information. STEP standardizes and streamlines product data management with automated workflows, data cleanup, and seamless integrations across systems.
By sharing BOMs, product configurations, or design changes throughout the enterprise, you can ensure that your procurement, production, and supply chain teams work with a singular golden record. At the same time, you can provide marketing, sales, partners, and regulators with core BOM data in near real time. This eliminates data discrepancies and ensures operational efficiency, regulatory compliance, and accurate decision-making across all functions.
