SyncForce is a Dutch product information management vendor focused on packaged goods manufacturers, including brands and private label producers in food, pet food and non-food. Its Circular PIM manages product, packaging and asset data and distributes it to retailers through GS1 GDSN and channel-specific formats. Its strongest area is brand-owner compliance data: packaging systems for PPWR, declarations of conformity and EU digital product passports.
Overview
SyncForce Circular PIM is organised around three capability areas the vendor calls Data Mastery, product data distribution and Adaptive Change Management, with integrated DAM and PLM-style functions. A Data Distribution Center handles retailer and data pool requirements, including a GS1 GDSN connector and country-specific GS1 formats such as GS1-DE and GS1-NL. The data model is built around sales units, transport units and packaging, which reflects the vendor's focus on manufacturers supplying grocery, foodservice and specialist retail. The vendor is a GS1 solution partner in the Benelux.
Packaging compliance is a central theme. The Packaging System Manager models a master packaging system that links packaging masters to sales and transport units, so material and supplier evidence can be reused across products. Once evidence and approvals are complete, the platform can generate declarations of conformity and technical dossiers for the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation. An EU-DPP capability provides a machine-readable dataset for ESPR, and the Prodigilink offering adds QR codes with GS1 Digital Link and dedicated product sites.
SyncForce has operated for more than 25 years; public company databases list 1999 as its founding year. The company is based at Strijp-T in Eindhoven, where it moved in 2020. It is privately held and does not publish ownership or funding details. Its customer base, as shown on its website, consists mainly of European and North American food and consumer goods manufacturers.
