AI-ready data, connected to your systems

AI is only as smart as your data

If AI depends on accurate, context-rich data, then bad data leads to bad decisions. And most data still comes from people. That’s why businesses need better tools and processes that help people collect clean, accurate data, easily and at the point of activity.

As Lan Tran told the 2025 WIMWA Summit: “Garbage in, garbage out. Bad data will be amplified. The system will be as smart, or as dumb, as what we give it.” Read: AI is only as smart as your data.

“Show me the equipment that is not being used in the last year, and how much is it costing us to maintain?”The kind of question good, connected data makes possible

Sources of truth (plural)

Stop chasing the idea of a single source of truth. What matters is that data is accurate and reliable, no matter where it lives. A system just needs to be fit for purpose, produce good data, and make that data available to use with context.

Connected to the systems you already use

EXTAG connects to the systems you already use, pushing and pulling data through their available APIs, and our team configures the integrations so the right data goes to the right place.

• ERP and CMMS integrations are possible. Data can flow in both directions, for example asset master sync, work orders and status updates.
• Records stay matched. Each asset record can hold the identifiers used in other systems, such as the ERP asset number.
• Reporting built in. Microsoft Power BI is embedded in EXTAG, alongside live maps and dashboards.

EXTAG integrates with your ERP, CMMS and other internal systems. We work closely with you to determine what data needs to go where, and make it happen.

Every record already carries its context

In EXTAG, every record is built from a template that defines its data. That means the context is already there, ready for whichever AI assistant, agent or lookup you choose to use.

• Defined, not guessed. Each field has a name, a type and a place, so AI reads structured, labelled data instead of guessing from free text.
• Connected to the asset. A record is linked to its asset, location, linked actions and history, so an answer can follow the whole story.
• Something you can trust. Because the data is captured in the field and versioned by template, people can see what any answer is based on.

How EXTAG makes field data AI-ready

• Structured at the point of entry. Smart forms capture data, metadata and context in the field, not after the fact.
• Linked to the asset. Every record is tied to a tagged asset, location and task.
• Consistent over time. Configured, not coded: every record keeps a reference to the template version that defined it, so history stays meaningful when forms change.
• Available to your systems. Pushed to and pulled from your systems through their APIs.
