The data layer your ERP was never going to build for you
Most ERP implementations assume the data prep is already done. It never is. The Decoded Data App is a custom-built module — standardising SKUs and stock, sanitising supplier feeds, and handling channel quirks like Amazon FBA — built into a Deliver or Transform engagement, not bought off a pricing page.
Why this exists
Choosing the right ERP is rarely the hard part. What breaks projects is everything around it — stock and SKU data spread across spreadsheets with no single source of truth, supplier feeds that were never designed to hold this much detail, and marketplace channels that don't behave like a normal sales channel. Data prep left until implementation starts becomes the client's problem to sort out on the way. This module exists to do that work first, properly, and keep doing it after go-live.
What it covers
SKU and stock standardisation
Bin locations, SKU conventions, and stock data get a proper home before an ERP arrives — not retrofitted around whatever the software expects.
Supplier feed sanitisation
Feeds that were never designed to hold this much detail reliably get cleaned and normalised automatically, replacing spreadsheets and manual re-keying.
Channel-aware automation
Marketplace channels with their own rules — Amazon FBA's inventory and shipping confirmation flows, for example — get handled explicitly, not bolted on as an afterthought.
Why it comes before the ERP, not after
The instinct is always to wait until the ERP is fully implemented before touching the data problem. That's backwards. Every hour spent cleaning and standardising data before implementation starts is an hour that doesn't get spent firefighting during it — and the module doesn't get thrown away once the ERP lands. It keeps running the feeds and connections most ERPs were never designed to handle on their own.
Built per client, not sold off the shelf
Scoped to your suppliers, channels, and target ERP — not a generic tool you configure yourself
Priced as a standalone build within a Deliver or Transform engagement, never as a subscription
Designed to keep running after your ERP goes live, not replaced by it
Live examples
Two client engagements currently run a version of this module — proof, not a pitch deck.
