MDM Golden Record for Vendors, Customers & Assets
In today’s data-driven world, the accuracy of your master data determines every business decision. Yet, in asset-intensive enterprises where hundreds of systems track vendors, customers, and assets, data duplication and inconsistency are common. That’s why an MDM Golden Record for Vendors, Customers, and Assets is essential; it provides a single, trusted version of each entity, ensuring complete, clean, and consistent data across all systems.
This article explains how PROSOL, CODASOL’s AI/ML-driven MDM platform, delivers MDM Golden Records that unify data, improve compliance, and unlock operational efficiency for enterprises across industries like Oil & Gas, Utilities, Manufacturing, Ports, and EPC.
Why an MDM Golden Record for Vendors, Customers & Assets Matters
In industrial enterprises, decisions rely on accurate and accessible data. When multiple ERP or CMMS systems hold conflicting information, teams waste time verifying data instead of using it. But a Golden Record ensures that each vendor, customer, and asset has one authoritative version of the truth. Makes data stays consistent and synchronized across ERP, finance, procurement, and maintenance systems.
| Challenge Without Golden Record | With MDM Golden Record |
|---|---|
| Duplicate vendor or asset entries | Unified master record |
| Inconsistent naming conventions | Standardized data taxonomy |
| Manual corrections and errors | Automated data quality checks |
| Delayed vendor onboarding | Streamlined and verified workflow |
| Poor compliance visibility | Reliable audit trail |
Understanding the Three Data Domains for an MDM Golden Record
A successful MDM Golden Record program must address the nuances of three high-value data domains: vendors, customers, and assets.
Vendor Data
Vendor data is often fragmented across procurement, finance, and operations. Common issues include duplicates, incomplete profiles, and unverified tax or compliance information.
With PROSOL, each vendor record is:
- Consolidated from multiple ERPs or spreadsheets
- Cleansed and standardized
- Enriched with verified identifiers (e.g., tax ID, contact, performance metrics)
- Published as a single, governed vendor profile
Result: Faster supplier onboarding, risk reduction, and simplified compliance reporting.
Customer Data
In complex B2B environments, customers may exist in multiple systems, including billing, CRM, and maintenance, each with partial data.
PROSOL’s customer MDM module:
- Identifies and merges duplicate customer records
- Resolves conflicting data using survivorship rules
- Enriches profiles with transactional and relationship data
- Creates a unified view of the customer across touchpoints
Result: Accurate segmentation, better contract management, and improved service visibility.
Asset Data
Asset data is the backbone of operational efficiency. Yet, duplicates, missing identifiers, and inconsistent maintenance histories are common.
PROSOL delivers an asset MDM Golden Record by:
- Linking asset data from ERP, EAM, and CMMS systems
- Standardizing equipment hierarchy, make, model, and specifications
- Removing duplicate serials and harmonizing location data
- Integrating asset lineage with vendor and maintenance history
Result: Enhanced asset traceability, reduced downtime, and optimized maintenance planning.

How PROSOL Creates the MDM Golden Record Step by Step
Prosol applies a structured and intelligent MDM framework that transforms fragmented data into a single source of truth across all domains.
Step 1: Data Ingestion and Integration
PROSOL connects seamlessly to multiple data sources ERPs like SAP, Oracle, and Maximo, spreadsheets, legacy systems, or third-party databases, using API-based connectors and data pipelines.
Step 2: Data Profiling and Assessment
The platform identifies duplicates, inconsistencies, and missing fields using AI/ML algorithms and generates a data quality scorecard so teams can visualize readiness before cleansing begins.
Step 3: Cleansing and Standardization
Prosol’s intelligent data engine performs:
- Format standardization: names, addresses, and codes
- Data enrichment: from internal or external reference data
- Validation rules: based on ISO, UNSPSC, or custom enterprise standards
Step 4: Matching and Deduplication
- Using fuzzy matching and machine learning, PROSOL detects and merges near-duplicate records.
- Advanced survivorship rules determine which attributes are retained to create the single, trusted record.
Step 5: Governance and Stewardship
Every update goes through controlled workflows for review and approval. Data stewards maintain transparency and accountability, ensuring governance policies are enforced.
Step 6: Publishing and Synchronization
The MDM Golden Record is published to downstream systems, ERP, CRM, and analytics tools via APIs or scheduled syncs. This ensures every system uses the same validated data entity.
Step 7: Continuous Monitoring and Improvement
Ongoing monitoring dashboards help maintain data health. Prosol’s AI engine detects anomalies early, enabling proactive correction and sustained accuracy.
Let PROSOL help your enterprises create an accurate MDM Golden Record across vendors, customers, and assets.
