Master Data
One reliable foundation for your business data.
Customers, vendors, products and services: your core business records touch every order, invoice and report. MapleSums standardizes, validates and maintains that master data so every part of your business works from the same, trusted information.
The transformation
From scattered records to reliable operations.
Inconsistent master data causes quiet, expensive problems: wrong addresses, duplicate vendors, mismatched product details. Here’s how we fix it.
Unorganized data
Duplicates, inconsistent formats, missing fields and outdated entries across systems.
Structured & validated data
One standard, one record per entity, validated fields and a clear history of changes.
Reliable business operations
Teams trust the data they use, and processes run with fewer corrections.
Data domains
The records your business runs on.
Customer Data
Names, contacts, addresses, account details and preferences, kept complete and current.
Vendor Data
Supplier details, contacts, payment information and terms, without duplicates.
Product Data
Descriptions, attributes, SKUs, units and pricing that stay consistent across channels.
Service Data
Service catalogues, codes, descriptions and rates structured for clean billing and reporting.
What we do
Master data services that keep information consistent.
Data Standardization
Applying consistent naming, formatting and structure rules across all records.
Data Validation
Checking records for completeness and accuracy against sources and business rules.
Data Cleansing
Correcting errors, filling gaps where information is available and removing outdated entries.
Duplicate Management
Identifying and merging duplicate records carefully, keeping the correct information.
Data Maintenance
Ongoing creation, updating and retiring of records as your business changes.
Database Organization
Structuring fields, categories and hierarchies so data is easy to find and use.
Why it matters
Good data doesn’t stay good on its own.
New customers, changed addresses, new products, discontinued suppliers: master data changes every day. Without ongoing care, even a clean database drifts back into inconsistency. MapleSums provides the steady maintenance that keeps it reliable.
- Clear rules for creating and updating records
- Regular checks for duplicates and gaps
- Consistent data across finance, sales and operations
What is master data?
Master data is the core information your business uses repeatedly, such as customers, vendors, products, services and similar records. Unlike individual transactions, it’s referenced again and again, so errors in it affect many processes.
Can you clean up our existing data before a system change?
Yes. Cleaning and standardizing data before a migration or new system launch is one of the most valuable times to invest in master data work.
Do you work directly in our systems?
We can work directly in your systems with agreed access, or with exported files that you import after review, whichever suits your controls.
How do you decide which duplicate record to keep?
We agree on merge rules with you first, such as the most recent or most complete record. Anything unclear is flagged for your decision.
