Cleaning

The cleaning tool helps standardize your material data by correcting common issues like inconsistent formatting, duplicate entries, and invalid values. It applies industry-standard rules to ensure your material lists adhere to recognized formats, making them more compatible with your partners and the broader supply chain.

Features include automatic part number validation, manufacturer name standardization, and specification normalization to ensure data quality before it enters the network.

​
Alignment

The alignment tool identifies relationships between your data and network connections. It aligns your demand requirements with available supply, surfaces compatible or alternative materials, and highlights new business opportunities based on your historical transactions and current network activity.

​
Posting

Once your data is cleaned and aligned, the posting tool allows you to publish it to your nodes in the correct format. You can schedule regular updates, set expiration dates for time-sensitive listings, and control which portions of your data are shared with specific network segments.

The posting tool also provides validation checks to ensure your data meets both Seminode’s requirements and industry standards before it goes live on the network.
