IMCOPA Case Study: Standardized registration strengthens ERP implementation and purchasing strategies

IMCOPA, one of the world's largest manufacturers of non-GMO soy products, has taken a strategic step toward excellence in data management by signing a contract with CH Master Data | Astrein, a specialist in solutions for registration centers.

With the implementation of a new enterprise resource planning system (SAP ERP), the company identified the urgent need to unify and standardize its materials and services database. The objective was clear: eliminate generic descriptions, duplicates, and obsolete items, as well as ensure proper tax classification—key elements for operational efficiency and tax compliance.

The data cleanup and standardization initiative also paved the way for the implementation of important strategic fronts in the areas of purchasing and logistics, such as:

• Expense management by material families;

• Development of supply contracts;

• Electronic shopping;

• Optimization of inventory management;

• Reduction in emergency purchases;

• Minimizing returns.

With the new CH Master Data | Astrein solution, IMCOPA now generates complete and unambiguous descriptions for its items, which also enables the correct definition of the NCM (Mercosur Common Nomenclature) code — essential information for meeting Brazilian tax requirements, such as SPED and the Electronic Invoice.

Is your company also in the process of ERP or looking for more control and efficiency in purchasing and inventory data?
