I: Typical problems with master data maintenance

Common challenges in master data maintenance

Many companies struggle with scattered master data, disparate systems, and manual updates. Ensuring data quality, integrating different data sources, and keeping records consistent across systems is complex. Traditional tools quickly reach their limits once multiple departments or systems are involved, resulting in errors, inefficiencies, and high loads on IT.

Distributed data sources

Every department maintains data differently: formats, descriptions and fields are not standardized and lead to error-prone and time-consuming maintenance processes.

Poor data quality

Master data is only maintained as a secondary function in the ERP or CRM. As a result, data is recorded differently, created twice or not updated consistently. The result is inconsistencies that run silently through processes and evaluations and usually end up falling on IT's shoulders.

Limited integrations

Master data is difficult or impossible to synchronize with ERP, CRM, BI or other systems. Consistent data is only really beneficial if it can be seamlessly transferred to existing systems.

Unclear reporting

BI receives incomplete, contradictory or incorrect data. Analyses are questioned and teams are slowed down.

Slow or costly adjustments

Every field change or rule adjustment becomes a mini-project - the connection to ERP, HR software, etc. can only be implemented at great expense with additional modules or as an isolated solution. Individually built interfaces must be permanently maintained.

Weak authorization controls

Too many users have write permissions, changes are not traceable or not audit-proof. The resulting data chaos is often only tidied up for audits and then requires immense preparation and ties up resources.

Typical problems

High development costs for each adaptation
Ongoing costs for maintenance, operation and further development
Changes take a long time and block other projects
Dependence on individual developers or external service providers
Individually built interfaces must be permanently maintained
The solution does not automatically grow with new requirements

How do companies solve these problems?

Low-code meets requirements where classic master data maintenance tools regularly fail: the biggest problems often arise because standard software often only supports a fixed data model and does not allow for individual fields, flexible rules, workflows or integrations. In-house developments, on the other hand, can be customized as required, but are rigid and inflexible if processes or requirements change in the future.

This is precisely where low-code solutions come in and enable flexible and rapid adaptation of master data maintenance. Consistent and high-quality master data, which forms the backbone of the company structure and remains relatively constant over longer periods of time, enables companies to design their business processes more efficiently with low-code and avoid errors.

Individual development

Low-code

Audit-proof logging of changes

Data sovereignty within your own company

Easily scalable

Ready for use in just a few days

Customization in minutes without programming knowledge

With Low-Code you decide how master data is structured and maintained: Define fields, validation rules, workflows and access rights to fit how your organization works – no coding needed. Everything can be flexibly adapted at any time. The structured management of basic data and the implementation of regular activities to maintain and update master data are essential in order to keep the core data on business objects, which is stable in the long term but still needs to be updated regularly, current and consistent at all times.

Whether it's customer, supplier, product, material or location data: complex requirements become clear and controllable. You make changes directly in your daily business without launching major IT projects or commission external service providers.

Quick implementation

With Low-Code, you can implement your master data maintenance productively in a short time - without lengthy customizing or ERP projects. You can configure fields, rules and workflows using drag & drop and adapt them yourself at any time. This reduces dependencies on service providers and noticeably accelerates changes.

Flexible rules & workflows

Whether new data fields, additional mandatory information, changed validation rules or additional data sources: With Low-Code, you can adapt your master data maintenance specifically to your business requirements. If processes, responsibilities or connected systems change, new specifications can be integrated quickly. Your master data remains consistent and evolves with your company.

Streamlined & automated processes

With low-code, recurring tasks in master data maintenance can be systematically automated. Rules for checking data, coordinated approvals and clear responsibilities ensure that information is recorded correctly and processed properly. Changes can be added in a controlled manner at any time. This takes the pressure off teams, reduces sources of error and creates reliable data as a basis for all subsequent processes.

Improved data quality

All relevant master data is maintained in a central location. From here, all areas of the company are efficiently and consistently supplied with up-to-date data. Input validation rules or duplicate checks increase data quality and prevent incorrect master data from slipping unnoticed into downstream processes.

Seamless system integration

Connect your low-code application with existing systems and access existing master data. Integrated into your system landscape, data flows on automatically without duplicate data storage or media disruptions.

Define structures and create data model

As part of master data maintenance, the definition of the data model including all relevant fields, mandatory attributes and relationships is crucial. With GAPTEQ, you can structure it the way your organization actually needs it. If there is already an existing data model in your data source, GAPTEQ accesses it directly.

Set up forms, maintenance processes and rules

Based on your data model, you can build your own individual input masks, checking rules, duplicate checks, approval processes and responsibilities - exactly as you work every day. All without external service providers or complex coding. The underlying database synchronizes data and ensures that all systems work with consistent master data.

Provide and use master data maintenance

Your master data maintenance is provided as a web application. Your departments can access it conveniently via the browser. If changes to the data model become necessary, you can implement them independently and easily. Without any time-consuming development projects.

Key functions for central master data management

Today, data is considered the "oil" of the digital age - its professional management is the profound base for efficient business processes and well-founded decisions. Efficient master data management and well-thought-out master data management (MDM) are essential for managing large volumes of data across systems, ensuring data quality, and avoiding duplicates and inconsistencies.

Flexible data model

Define and expand master data structures with your own fields, attributes, rules, relationships and mandatory data at any time according to your requirements.

Validation rules & data quality checks

Prevent errors with configurable checks and duplicate detections. This keeps your data consistent and reliable.

Authorization & role management

Assign granular access and edit rights to control who can see, change, or release which master data. Adjust authorizations at any time - without interfering with the system or additional vendor support.

Change & release workflows

Map approvals, escalations and track changed audit-proof: Check in on status logic transparently and clearly. Changes are fully traceable and documented in an audit-proof manner.

Central data source control

Maintain all master data centrally in a professional standard database or Lakehouse platform. Maintain full control and access at all times.

Evaluation & reporting

Build reports and dashboards for master data quality, governance, current maintenance progress or responsibility structures. This makes your data real-time-capable, filterable and individually expandable.
