Every Critical Attribute. Verified. Standardized. Ready to Use.

Symmetric enriches your item master with the classifications, identifiers, and product metadata your supply chain, clinical, and finance teams depend on sourced from 400+ regulatory, manufacturer, distributor, and standards organizations.

Verified GTINs & Packaging Hierarchy

Accurate GTINs and complete packaging data support barcode scanning, receiving, documentation, and charge capture workflows without manual lookup or guesswork.

UNSPSC Classifications

Accurately assigned and actively maintained UNSPSC codes improve category reporting, spend analysis, and billing and reimbursement accuracy across your entire product catalog.

HCPCS Code Validation

Every HCPCS code is validated against current CMS standards as part of the enrichment process — reducing billing errors and protecting reimbursement.

GMDN Classification

GMDN codes are assigned alongside UNSPSC and HCPCS, giving your organization a globally recognized device nomenclature foundation for regulatory and clinical workflows.

Verified Country of Origin

Country of origin is confirmed through FDA manufacturer registrations and supplier label images — not self-reported data — giving you defensible sourcing intelligence.

Clinically Comparable Alternatives

Each enriched product record is mapped to clinically viable substitutes, enabling faster response to backorders, disruptions, and standardization opportunities.

Infrastructure, Not Just an Interface — Built Into Your ERP

Most item master projects are one-time cleanup efforts that degrade within months. Symmetric is different. Our cloud-based platform rebuilds your item master records with validated identifiers, packaging data, clinical flags, classifications, and origin details — and then keeps them current. Pre-built, bidirectional integrations connect directly to Oracle, Infor, Workday, and major GPO ecosystems so enriched data flows into the systems your teams already use. Normalization of manufacturer and vendor records, resolution of duplicate entries, and mapping of products to active contract and GPO relationships are all handled continuously — not as a one-time project. The result is a unified product foundation that supports marketplaces, analytic tools, AI applications, and the clinical and operational decisions that depend on them.

Symmetric's enriched data foundation has delivered measurable results for hospitals and health systems facing the real-world complexity of supply chain data management.

Common Questions About Data Enrichment & Standardization

What does Symmetric actually enrich in my item master?
Symmetric maps 1,600+ attributes to your ERP system, including verified GTINs, complete packaging hierarchy, UNSPSC classifications, HCPCS codes validated against CMS standards, GMDN classifications, and country of origin verified through FDA registrations and supplier label images — not self-reported data.
Is this a one-time project or an ongoing service?
It is ongoing. Symmetric continuously monitors and maintains your product data, origin changes, and substitution relationships after the initial enrichment. You get a long-term data infrastructure partner, not a vendor who hands off a spreadsheet and disappears.
Which ERP and procurement systems does Symmetric integrate with?
Symmetric has pre-built, bidirectional ERP integrations for Oracle, Infor, and Workday, as well as connections into major GPO ecosystems, EMR, WMS, and POU systems. Data flows in real time and in batch across item masters, contracts, purchasing, clinical systems, and analytics environments.
How does Symmetric verify country of origin — and why does it matter?
Symmetric verifies country of origin through FDA manufacturer registrations and supplier label images rather than relying on self-reported distributor or manufacturer claims. This distinction matters significantly for tariff exposure modeling, sourcing risk assessment, and regulatory compliance.
Can I see the state of my current item master before committing?
Yes. Symmetric offers a free Item Master Audit so you can understand the scope of your data gaps, duplicate records, misclassifications, and missing attributes before any engagement begins. Request yours at symmetrichealthsolutions.com/contact.
