Engaging with Vintri Technologies: A Seamless Path to Trustworthy Data
A question we often hear from potential clients is: “What does it take to engage Vintri?” Whether you’re embarking on a new capital project or managing existing infrastructure, understanding the process is essential to ensure seamless collaboration and maximize the benefits of our Service Delivery team and vintriCORE platform. This blog post will walk you through what to expect and how we work with you to create accessible, traceable, and trustworthy project data.
Steps to Establish Accessible, Traceable, and Trustworthy Project Data with Vintri
Data Import and Configuration: All usable (enter definition - structured and related to a unique identifier) data is imported into vintriCORE along with unstructured records (PDFs). The vintriCORE platform is configurable to permit clients to use their data models rather than forcing the industry to adopt a single standard.
Data Curation and Standardization: This process involves curating all supply chain data folders and unstructured documents to ensure we have a complete understanding of the available data. Vintri leverages automated record classifiers and human-in-the-loop data miners to transform disparate unstructured data into a single structured data ledger (Single Source of Truth).
Data Audit: The established Single Source of Truth (SSoT) becomes a Verified SSoT once Vintri's hundreds of industry-specific algorithms cross-verify the data for omissions, discrepancies, and traceability errors.
What We Need from Our Clients
To achieve this smoothly, we rely on our clients to work with us in the following ways:
Provide Timelines: Whether it's a capital project or existing infrastructure, sharing key timelines is crucial. For capital projects, let us know when materials are being ordered and when construction is scheduled to start. For existing infrastructure, inform us if you are looking to sell or buy, or if there is an upcoming audit scheduled.
Identify Asset Components and Vendors: Clearly identify in-scope asset components and introduce Vintri to all supply chain vendors. This helps us understand the scope of the project and ensures we can effectively manage data from all relevant sources.
Identify Stakeholders and Engagement Model: Determine and communicate the stakeholders, timelines, and engagement model. Will Vintri be responsible for working directly with your suppliers in obtaining data, or will your team act as the conduit? Many clients leverage Vintri as an agent in this regard, making introductions and allowing us to handle supply chain data reviews and corrections.
Review Data Issues and Corrections: By working closely together and leveraging the vintriCORE PowerBI dashboard, clients can view weekly issue logs and corrections at their convenience. This transparency ensures that any issues are promptly addressed, and data remains accurate and traceable.
Why Most Clients Choose Vintri as Their Agent
Many of our clients leverage Vintri to act as their project manager, handling all supply chain correspondence and data review. Here’s how this approach works:
Comprehensive Data Management: After introductions to supply chain vendors, Vintri reviews material data, corrects inconsistencies, and meets with you monthly to identify and resolve any issues.
Real-Time Visibility: Clients can log in to the vintriCORE Power BI dashboard at any time to view weekly issue logs and corrections.
Efficiency and Accuracy: By taking the lead, Vintri ensures the process moves forward efficiently, even when dealing with the complexities of unstandardized data.
The Future: A Self-Driving Process
At Vintri, we’re continuously innovating to make the data management process as seamless as possible. While the current complexities of diverse supplier data require human oversight, we’re working toward creating a more automated, “self-driving” experience. Until then, Vintri provides the expertise and hands-on support needed to navigate the challenges of unstructured data.
