The MDM Challenges Retailers Must Solve
SCATTERED DATA
Disparate systems for product, supplier, customer, and location data leads to duplication, outdated records, and costly inefficiencies.
INCONSISTENT INFORMATION
Retailers risk launching products with incomplete details, misaligning inventory with demand, and undermining key functions like forecasting and pricing.
LACK OF ENTERPRISE INTELLIGENCE
Retailers need AI-native platforms that transform data into enterprise-ready intelligence for faster, more confident decision-making. Legacy systems don’t scale.
Digital Wave's AI-Native MDM
Unified Master Data, Embedded Across the Enterprise
Digital Wave Technology’s Master Data Management (MDM) solution, built on the ONE Platform, centralizes all critical business data including products, suppliers, customers, and locations in a single governed foundation. Unlike traditional MDM tools that operate separately, Digital Wave’s MDM is built directly into the platform so trusted data flows continuously through every retail function, from planning and pricing to supply chain execution, without integration gaps or delays.
Trusted, Governed Data Flowing Into Every Decision
With a unified data model, AI-driven cleansing and enrichment, full data lineage, and embedded governance, Digital Wave Technology's MDM eliminates silos and ensures consistency across departments and applications. Because it lives within the ONE Platform, master data from MDM flows directly into Merchandise Financial Planning, Assortment Planning, Forecasting, Allocation, Replenishment, and Pricing, so every decision is based on one version of the truth.
AI-Native, Flexible, and Built to Evolve
Our architecture also gives teams the flexibility to modify hierarchies, tables, or data elements on the fly without triggering expensive rework or system-wide projects. AI, including Generative and Agentic AI, is natively built into the MDM data model, allowing rapid development of interconnected, intelligence-driven solutions.
Why It's Different
Native to the ONE Platform: Unlike traditional retail master data management (MDM) solutions that live in silos, ours is embedded in an AI-native platform designed for planning and execution.
Foundation for Growth: Centralizes product data, attributes, and digital assets to power PIM, PXM, pricing, promotions, assortment, allocation, replenishment, and financial planning when deployed.
Enterprise-Ready Advantage: Lowers total cost of ownership, eliminates data silos, and ensures consistent execution across the retail enterprise.
