DUPLICATE MATERIAL IDENTIFICATION
3X ROI guaranteeFind duplicate materials hiding under different names.
The same bearing can live under three part numbers in three systems. Verusen’s duplicate material identification matches equivalent materials across sites and ERPs, with no data cleanse first, so you stop buying parts you already own.

Works on top of the systems and data you already have. No cleanse project, no rip-and-replace.
What is duplicate material identification?
Duplicate material identification finds MRO records that describe the same or an equivalent part under different part numbers, descriptions, or systems. Removing or linking those duplicates stops repeat purchases, frees working capital, and makes stock at other sites visible.
Why duplicates persist
Every site creates its own part number.
Inconsistent descriptions
Abbreviations and free text mean the same part is entered differently at every plant.
Mergers compound it
Each acquisition brings new naming conventions and more duplicate records.
Repurchasing what you own
Teams reorder or expedite parts that are already sitting in another storeroom.
How it works
Match, review, consolidate.
Verusen adds an AI-powered MRO optimization intelligence layer on top of your existing ERP and EAM, no rip and replace required.
Connect
Verusen reads your material masters and inventory from every ERP and EAM instance as-is.
Match
The Material Graph normalizes abbreviated and inconsistent descriptions and matches the same part across sites and systems.

FAQ
Questions buyers ask
Don’t see your question? Talk to an expert. They answer in plain English, not sales speak.
Do we need to standardize part numbers first?
No. Verusen works with your existing part numbers and descriptions. The Material Graph normalizes them and matches equivalents across sites and systems.
Who decides whether two records are the same part?
Your team. Verusen surfaces likely duplicates and equivalents for review, and your team verifies each one.
We’re just getting started with AI. Is Verusen for us?
Yes. Verusen doesn’t require a master-data cleanse or a data science team. It works from your ERP and EAM data as it is today, goes live in under 60 days with 8–10 hours from one or two IT people, and a dedicated project manager runs onboarding.
Which systems does Verusen integrate with?
SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, Oracle EBS/EAM, IBM Maximo, Infor EAM, Octave Attune EAM, IFS, eMaint, Coupa, and Ariba, including multiple instances at once. Approved changes write back to your ERP or EAM automatically.
How do we know we can trust the recommendations?
Every recommendation explains itself in plain language. Your team agrees or disagrees with each change, every decision is tracked, and nothing writes back to your ERP or EAM without approval.
