The supplier data backbone for service quality, governance, and integration
Kasei extends beyond equipment assets by transforming fragmented supplier and contractor data into a governed, standardized hub—the backbone for reliable service execution and supply chain resilience.
Centralized Repository
Aggregate all supplier maintenance records, SLAs, and service contracts into a single hub, eliminating silos and ensuring supplier accountability.
​
Consistent Asset Hierarchies
Establish standardized structures to classify suppliers by category, service type, criticality, and region, enabling consistent evaluation and reporting.
​
Standards Compliance
Align supplier performance and maintenance processes with global standards (ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 8000, ISO 14224, and sector-specific codes) to ensure service quality, safety, and reliability.
​
Data Quality & Governance
Ensure supplier profiles, certifications, and service records are complete, accurate, and up to date with configurable governance workflows and automated validation.
