What is MIMS?

A centralized solution designed to ensure material descriptions are consistent across global teams, using a robust hierarchical taxonomy (ISO 8000-style), enhanced with technical data, RFQs, cost, supplier info, and live integration with CAD and ERP systems.

Key Features of MIMS

01

Standardised Material Taxonomy

Enforce global consistency in material identification:
  • Multi-level classification based on ISO 8000/ISO 15926 frameworks 
  • Aligned with Hontrel’s hierarchical taxonomy for clarity and compliance
  • Supports multi-language naming, attribute normalization, and global UoM conversion
02

Central Material Master Repository

Keep your material-related data in one authoritative source:
  • Central catalog with version and revision control
  • Attach datasheets, spec PDFs, images, MSDS, certifications
  • Include RFQs, cost tracking, and supplier metadata
03

RFQ & Supplier Management

Link procurement data directly to your materials portfolio:
  • Upload multiple RFQ documents and quotes per item
  • Track supplier credentials, compliance certificates, lead times
  • Enable preferred and alternative sourcing tracking
04

BOM Management & CAD Integration

Bridge design and procurement with intelligent BOMs:
  • Create taxonomy-aware BOMs tied to drawings and CAD models
  • Two-way syncing with CAD/PLM systems (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, etc.)
  • ERP connectivity (SAP, Oracle, MS Dynamics) to auto-pull material costs/status
05

ERP System Sync & Cost Control

Maintain accuracy and visibility across systems:
  • Automatic updates between MIMS and ERP for prices, units, and inventories
  • Support for multi-currency cost calculations
  • Audit logs for all changes to ensure traceability
