Increased Worker Productivity and Profit per Employee
Each of the information technology solutions impacting the MRO procurement industry benefit significantly from improving the quality of information content - i.e., accurate, up-to-date, and parametrically searchable product information. MRO purchasing is made more efficient by adding data enhancement and standardization features (such as product names, physical attributes, prices, availability, graphics, instructions, sourcing or any other aspect relevant to purchasing a product or service) to improve product search capabilities. Effective search capabilities rely upon its ability to search vast quantities of data with a high degree of "precision" (the ability to find only those items that are relevant to a user's query and nothing more) and "recall" (the capacity of a search tool to find every relevant item to a user's query). Intermat Solutions' catalog authoring and management tool, Struxure, enables effective MRO item master creation, editing and search, allowing for increased worker productivity and profit per employee.
