Taking information from GMS' old database and getting it into a usable format was no easy challenge. It's not that they didn't have data (although we ran into that as well), but the data relationships between Manufacturer, Model and Part are a huge mess of cross-references.
Our team pulled the data in and then provided one of the coolest, backend interfaces we've built to date. It allows taking a single part and quickly associating it with multiple models, which, in turn, are quickly associated with manufacturers.
Honestly, Conquent got the project because GMS had been working with another company who simply couldn't figure out a way to do this. Although a challenge, our team was able to get it done, and it works beautifully, and completely automatically as the GMS staff continues to enter new parts.
