Retailers, manufacturers and health care providers use the SyncManager to easily manage their product master data and automatically make it available to their customers in accordance with industry standards.

Tool checks quality of product master data

Retail and wholesale companies use the SyncManager as user-friendly, highly flexible supplier portal. A data quality engine integrated into the solution checks the quality of the product master data already during export or acquisition.

This enables manufacturers and retailers to efficiently ensure that also consumers receive correct and complete data on food and health products. With the acquisition, users of the cloud solution for cross-company master data alignment will receive direct support from the inventors and developers of the solution.

SyncManager comes into the hands of its developers

The Cologne-based master data experts from Bayard Consulting have been responsible for the design and development of SyncManager from the very first day of its eventful history. Bayard Consulting is highly committed to fulfilling existing customer projects with SyncManager and will significantly expand its own activities in selling the solution in Europe. In addition, the master data specialists will further develop SyncManager with considerable effort.

“SyncManager has been quite a journey for us”, says Björn Bayard, CEO of Bayard Consulting: “from the original concept of the tool’s design to many successful customer projects. Now owning SyncManager makes us even more dedicated to help our customers to get their rich product content managed, quality assured and synchronised with their business partners. SyncManager is our platform to make this happen.”
