Classify materials to UNSPSC
Classify materials to UNSPSC with Aurum: a practical, on-prem approach built for Azerbaijani teams.
Precision UNSPSC Classification with Total Control
Procurement and supply-chain teams in Azerbaijan often struggle with the manual burden of coding materials to the UNSPSC taxonomy. This process is frequently hampered by duplicate records that distort spend analysis and a lack of transparency regarding where specific classifications originated. Aurum, developed by Allmaz, solves these challenges by automating the heavy lifting of data reconciliation and classification while keeping the human expert firmly in the driver's seat. By utilizing a deterministic matching engine, Aurum identifies and merges duplicate material records into a single, authoritative golden master. It then proposes precise UNSPSC classifications that are routed through a human steward for approval before any data is published. This architecture ensures a clean, auditable, and entirely reversible workflow, allowing enterprises to achieve high-quality data standardization without sacrificing oversight or data integrity.
Strategic Advantages for Your Team
Eliminate cost inflation and spend analysis distortions by consolidating duplicate records into a single golden master.
Ensure consistent and traceable coding logic through a deterministic matching engine that removes guesswork from classification.
Maintain absolute data governance with a human-in-the-loop workflow where no proposal is published without explicit approval.
Reduce risk with a reversible architecture that stores edits as overrides, ensuring source data is never overwritten or lost.
Simplify compliance and internal reviews with a comprehensive audit trail and full source lineage for every record.
Meet strict Azerbaijani data-residency and security standards via a dedicated on-premises deployment model.
Core Capabilities of Aurum
Duplicate Matching and Golden Master Creation
Aurum's deterministic matching engine identifies records that refer to the same material across various sources and merges them into one authoritative golden master, eliminating the redundancy that makes classification inconsistent.
UNSPSC Taxonomy Classification
Each golden master record is evaluated against the UNSPSC hierarchy and assigned a proposed code. The deterministic approach ensures the same inputs produce the same output every time, making the process auditable and repeatable.
Human-in-the-Loop Approval Workflow
No proposed classification is published automatically. A designated human steward reviews, accepts, or overrides each suggestion before it enters the live dataset, preserving accountability at every step.
Reversible Override Architecture
Edits are stored as overrides layered on top of source data, never written back in place. Any decision can be revisited and reversed without data loss or complex recovery procedures.
Full Audit Trail and Source Lineage
Every record carries a complete history: where it came from, what was proposed, who approved it, and when. This lineage supports spend analysis, supplier negotiations, and compliance reporting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Aurum classify materials if our records are inconsistently described across systems?
Yes. The duplicate-matching step consolidates inconsistent records into a golden master before classification begins, ensuring the engine works from the most complete and reconciled version of each material.
What happens if a steward disagrees with a proposed UNSPSC code?
The steward can override the proposal directly in the interface. This override is stored separately from the source data, the original proposal is retained for reference, and the reason for the change is logged in the audit trail.
Is source data modified during the classification process?
No. Aurum is reversible by design. All changes are stored as overrides and are never written back in place, meaning your original source records remain intact and untouched.
How does the audit trail support compliance or internal review?
Every record maintains a full source lineage and a timestamped history of all proposals, approvals, and overrides. This detailed transparency is available for review at any time without requiring additional reporting.
Is Aurum suitable for deployment within our own infrastructure?
Yes, Aurum is specifically built for on-premises deployment to align with the data-residency and security requirements common among Azerbaijani enterprises handling sensitive procurement data.
