The platform excels in connecting innovation, packaging, and marketing workflows, ensuring that all stakeholders have access to accurate, validated product information. With SyncForce, manufacturers can speed up time-to-market, eliminate data duplication, and guarantee product data consistency across every distribution touchpoint.

Target Market

SyncForce is specifically designed for enterprise-level and upper midmarket brand manufacturers, especially those operating in regulated industries such as food & beverage, personal care, consumer goods, and chemicals. It serves businesses that manage complex, multi-layered product data and need to meet stringent market compliance requirements. The platform is ideal for organizations seeking a structured, process-oriented approach to centralizing product content across product lifecycle, packaging, and distribution ecosystems.

Value proposition

SyncForce’s value lies in its end-to-end digital continuity from R&D and packaging design to regulatory approval and retail syndication. It offers manufacturers a single source of truth that combines product innovation, master data governance, and omnichannel readiness in one tightly integrated solution. By reducing rework, increasing data reliability, and streamlining external syndication processes, SyncForce empowers companies to accelerate product launches and maintain brand integrity across global markets.

For whom?

SyncForce is purpose-built for manufacturers with strong internal product development workflows and multiple external stakeholders, including regulatory bodies, distributors, and retailers. It serves industries such as FMCG, cosmetics, food production, agriculture, and B2B chemicals, where data accuracy and compliance are critical. SyncForce is especially valuable for companies that need to coordinate complex value chains and publish product information through GS1 networks, retailer portals, and other regulatory product data hubs.

Core Capabilities

Product lifecycle integration: Manage product data from innovation through to commercialization with version control and approval workflows.
Packaging & regulatory readiness: Seamlessly track packaging updates, certifications, and compliance documentation.
Master data governance: Centralize and validate structured and unstructured data in alignment with internal and external requirements.
Retailer & data pool syndication: Push validated data to GS1 GDSN, retailers, and marketplaces with minimal manual effort.

Use Cases and Industry Examples

In the food & beverage sector, SyncForce enables manufacturers to manage allergen declarations, nutritional data, and compliance certifications such as EU 1169/2011. For example, a dairy producer can use SyncForce to track new product formulations, update artwork and labels, and publish ingredient and compliance data to retailer portals like GS1 or Brandbank—all from one interface. In the cosmetics and personal care industry, SyncForce helps companies streamline packaging updates and document required certifications (e.g., REACH, INCI), allowing for faster market entry and full traceability across the supply chain. Similarly, in the agrochemical space, manufacturers use SyncForce to ensure label consistency across geographies while managing a multi-lingual regulatory approval pipeline.

Customer Case: Transforming Product Information Management - Signature Foods and SyncForce

About

Signature Foods, renowned for its Johma brand among various meal components and chilled products in the Netherlands, faced significant challenges in managing its extensive product information. Lars Jansen, the Product & Business Development Manager at Signature Foods, recognized the need for a more streamlined approach to handling product data as the existing manual processes were inadequate and outdated. The search for a solution was critical to enhance operational efficiency and comply with industry standards.

Case Description

Previously reliant on manual data entry and basic software tools, Signature Foods struggled with maintaining data quality, which risked penalties and exclusion from major retailers like Albert Heijn. This prompted the formation of an internal working group aimed at finding a viable, automated solution that would meet GS1 requirements and improve internal processes. The need for a sophisticated yet adaptable platform was clear, as conventional search methods proved insufficient for their specific needs.

Action by SyncForce

After being introduced to SyncForce’s Product Success Platform by a colleague familiar with its capabilities, Signature Foods initiated a partnership that marked a turning point. Initial workshops focused not just on selling a system but on understanding Signature Foods’ unique challenges and exploring suitable solutions. SyncForce’s hands-on approach and the practical experience of their team played a vital role in crafting a tailored strategy that resonated with Signature Foods’ objectives.

Results

The collaboration with SyncForce led to the successful automation of product information processes, integrating seamlessly with GS1 and PS in Foodservice databases. This transformation allowed for real-time updates on product labels and created specialized work instructions for production lines, significantly boosting efficiency and communication uniformity. The system not only supported the existing needs but also provided the flexibility to incorporate future enhancements, like project management tools. Lars Jansen praised SyncForce for its effective platform and expert team, highlighting their instrumental role in achieving a streamlined, efficient product information management system that other food companies could benefit from as well.
