Data Management
Selection Criteria
Barratt Journey
Start point – Acquisition of David Wilson
• Each of the 27 Divisions had its own coding practices plus 2 ERP systems
• Fragmented, poor, missing and duplicate data
• Suboptimal and overlapping framework agreements across Group
• Lack of spend visibility
What did we do – Data management ?
• Mapped, integrated supplier and transaction data for Barratt and David Wilson
Homes
• Cleansed, backfilled, normalised and de-duplicated to a consistent output
• Ensured a unified coding system for information completeness
Data improvement / maturity
• Supply chain includes manufacturers, distributors, contractors and subcontractors
• Lack of subcontractor spend visibility at transactional level (sub contractor supply &
fit)
• No insight into what actual cost for discrete materials
A complex supply chain
• Understood distributor, contractor, manufacturer supply chain
• Achieved better insight into what they were paying for discrete materials
• Gained a complete, granular picture of spend across Group
What did we do – Selection criteria
• What is important?
• Create clear list with prioritisation / weighting
• Score each criteria
• Compare relative performance
