Strengthening Your ERP With the Product Intelligence It Was Built to Use
Hospitals have already invested in powerful ERPs to orchestrate purchasing, contracts, finance, and supply chain operations. But even the best ERP acts on the data it’s given — and most hospitals operate with incomplete, inconsistent, or outdated product information. That means the control tower is in place, but its visibility is limited.
Symmetric delivers the intelligence layer inside your ERP, continuously ingesting, reconciling, and enriching product data from FDA, GUDID, manufacturers, distributors, and GPOs. Instead of creating another external system, Symmetric strengthens the control tower you've already invested in.
Our philosophy is simple:
Keep the control tower where it belongs — inside the ERP — and give it the vision it’s been missing.

Enhancing ERP Intelligence and Real-Time Decision Support
-
Continuous, Clean Enrichment That Keeps ERP Data Current
ERPs perform best when the data behind them reflects the real market. Symmetric ingests nightly updates from FDA, GUDID, manufacturers, distributors, and GPOs, ensuring product records stay accurate as catalogs change, items discontinue, packaging shifts, or substitutes emerge.
-
Improved Contract and Pricing Alignment Across Modules
Symmetric reconciles GPO and vendor pricing changes, tier adjustments, amendments, and contracted equivalents so ERP purchasing and AP workflows operate on correct, current information. This reduces leakage, prevents mismatched POs and invoices, and strengthens compliance.
-
Real-Time Risk and Resiliency Signals Inside the ERP
With complete data, ERPs gain line-of-sight into shortages, tariff exposure, fill-rate degradation, and country-of-origin risk. Symmetric enriches ERP records with attributes that help organizations anticipate disruption rather than react to it.
-
Prebuilt, Bidirectional Integrations for Cloud and On-Prem ERP Systems
Symmetric connects seamlessly to the ERPs hospitals rely on, with prebuilt, bidirectional integrations for Infor, Oracle, and Workday in the cloud, as well as Lawson, PeopleSoft, Meditech, and Allscripts in on-prem environments. These integrations deliver continuously enriched product data directly into item masters, contracts, purchasing, AP, inventory, and clinical workflows.
Why Symmetric Is the Best Data Partner ERPs Need
ERPs are only as strong as the data supporting them. Symmetric delivers:
| ERP Challenge | Symmetric Solution |
|---|---|
| Inconsistent product naming | Standardized, clinically relevant naming conventions applied across all items |
| Missing identifiers (GTIN, UDI, UNSPSC, HCPCS) | Complete, validated identifiers assigned to every record |
| Outdated or incomplete catalog details | Continuous updates sourced from 400+ verified regulatory, manufacturer, and GPO references |
| Poor item comparability across suppliers | Enriched attributes and 3M+ substitutes enabling clear insight, matching, and alternatives |
| Manual processes and updating in silos | Continuous synchronization with real-world catalog changes, pricing updates, packaging revisions, and risk attributes, reducing IT burden and ensuring every ERP module operates from a single, accurate source of truth |
Your ERP is already the control tower for your hospital, and Symmetric gives it the intelligence it has been missing with real-time updates and rapid implementation timeline. By feeding the system of record with continuously updated, fully validated product data, the ERP becomes clearer, faster, and more reliable for every team that depends on it. Better data transforms the ERP from reactive to predictive, enabling stronger decisions, cleaner workflows, and a more resilient supply chain without replacing the technology you have already invested in.
