The Challenge

As Calderys grew globally, customer data became fragmented across multiple ERP and CRM systems, creating duplicate records, inconsistent information, and limited visibility across the business.

The company needed a scalable Master Data Management (MDM) solution to establish a trusted Customer Golden Record, streamline customer onboarding, and strengthen data governance across the organization.

  • Inconsistent customer data synchronization across ERP, CRM, Salesforce, and downstream channels
  • High dependency on manual customer onboarding, validation, and approval processes
  • Limited governance controls to maintain data quality and consistency
  • Need for a scalable foundation to support future Product and Vendor Master Data Management initiatives

These challenges impacted operational efficiency, reporting reliability, and the organization's ability to maintain a single, trusted view of customers across the enterprise
