MDM pioneering

Platinum Partner of Stibo Systems

Since April 2026, we have been one of only two Platinum Partners of Stibo Systems worldwide – the highest tier in the partner ecosystem.

This distinction is awarded only to organisations that can demonstrate exceptional project success, deep MDM expertise and a strategic vision in master data management. It was granted shortly after Stibo Systems itself was confirmed as the sole independent Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Master Data Management.

For us, the title is more than an award: it secures exclusive access to Stibo Systems' product development, early insight into innovations such as AI-supported data enrichment, and guarantees implementations that meet the highest quality standards.


Data excellence in innovation and application

Hackathon win at Stibo Systems for our team

Stibo Systems invited its partner organisations to the InnovAIte Hackathon 2026, the first AI hackathon in its history.

focus on argus

In 96 hours, our ten-strong team of experts developed Argus, an AI planning agent, and came out ahead of 18 international partner teams. The brief was to build an AI agent that accesses company data through a single interface, the Consumer MCP Server. Stibo Systems offered three use cases to choose from. The selected use case was to create an automated assortment and supplier strategy based on Stibo STEP master data.
What used to take weeks, Argus completes in 60 seconds: a campaign brief is translated directly into a well-founded plan, including the identification of gaps and opportunities. What makes it innovative is that Argus does not hallucinate. Every figure is transparently linked to its exact data source, so every decision is 100% traceable, with no write access to the master data.

The competition showed what is possible at the intersection of AI, master data and processes.

People and relationships

Technology only realises its value through the people who use it: more than 80 certified STEP experts form the largest implementation team in the market. Recognised multiple times as "Delivery Partner of the Year", we have supported over 50 MDM and PIM projects for more than 40 customers from retail and industry – relationships that rarely end when a project does.

Relationship building

From master data chaos to a trustworthy data landscape

People during workshop

Trust in data doesn't come from software alone – it comes from people who stay in relationship with one another. We accompany this journey holistically with foryouandyourcustomers.

In a connected economy, reliable master data is the backbone of every successful business. Genuine excellence in MDM/PIM arises from the interplay of data, processes, systems and, above all, the people who work with them every day. What ultimately carries an implementation project through is the ability to stay in relationship: with the staff who maintain the data, with the teams who use it, and with the organisation as a whole.


From implementation to ongoing support

We're not the only ones who see them as the preferred partner: analysts rank Stibo Systems as a leader too – both in the Gartner Magic Quadrant and in the Forrester Wave™: Master Data Management Solutions (Q2 2025) as well as in the SPARK Matrix™: Product Information Management (Q4 2025). Stibo STEP delivers what's needed.

Complex data modelling: flexible mapping of multi-level hierarchies, product variants, bills of materials and automated inheritance logic.

Data governance & workflows: automated data validation via an integrated business rules engine and process-driven approval workflows.

Data quality (golden record): cleansing, matching and merging of redundant data from different source systems into a single source of truth.

The digital twin across the lifecycle

A product today is more than its physical presence: its digital twin must represent the truth across the entire lifecycle.

In global markets, the speed of information delivery determines success. We optimise your digital information supply chain so that product data flows in sync with the physical chain – enabling faster, error-free channels from design to point of sale.

Regulatory requirements in the EU are increasing, above all through the Digital Product Passport. We prepare your data architecture so that transparency around origin, materials and sustainability becomes a visible quality marker rather than a bureaucratic burden, and harmonise material master data across engineering, production and procurement so that specifications and supplier information interlock seamlessly.

AI built on a reliable foundation

As an implementation partner for Stibo STEP, we combine deep MDM expertise with AI readiness.

MDM Knowhow with AI readiness

AI is only as reliable as the master data it's built on. Automated classification, intelligent attribute extraction and proactive quality checks turn your data foundation into the bedrock on which AI can work reliably, without hallucinating. It's precisely this combination of MDM depth and AI competence that makes us a Platinum-status implementation partner for Stibo.

This data excellence doesn't emerge from technology alone: native AI support and a cloud-based architecture give Stibo STEP the agility that tomorrow's requirements demand, implemented by STEP experts who know what matters in every single data entry. That's how a technical promise becomes a tangible leap in efficiency for your business results.


MDM for customers and suppliers

Customer and supplier data are the link to your success.

Supply chain in the spotlight

Customer data from different sources come together to form a cleansed 360-degree view of every customer – the golden record – the foundation for consistent, personal engagement across all touchpoints.

Through dedicated supplier portals and automated onboarding workflows in Stibo STEP, we shift data maintenance to where the knowledge originates: the supplier itself. Linked with location, product and ESG data, this creates the transparency you need for compliance – for example with supply chain due diligence legislation – and for early risk management across the supply chain.
