Standardization

Provides material libraries at the product and project levels and enables better standardization and change management. The standardization of material classifications at corporate and project level dramatically reduces engineering cost and the usage of same material code and description across business saves time and money.

Collaboration

Fosters better collaboration between joint venture partners due to common codes.

Data accuracy

Improves data accuracy as it is the single source of truth for material codes and specifications. As SRD provides a single point of data entry, it minimizes the potential for inconsistent data across both teams and systems.

Integration

One of the most important benefits of SRD is integration with a wide range of design tools, materials and ERP tools. Tight integration with design and procurement systems results in efficient change management and eliminates rework.

Knowledge management

Enables knowledge capture and retention for future projects rather than reinventing the wheel. This allows best practices to be consolidated and used optimally. Thus, saving both time and money.

User definable data

It is very flexible and can be customized to suit your work processes.
