What SyncManager is
SyncManager is a cloud platform for collecting, maintaining, enriching, validating, and exchanging product information. It brings ERP product master data together with marketing and logistics content, then applies workflows and quality rules before sharing information with business partners or output channels. Automated checks can assess completeness, consistency, and validity, including GS1 DQX rules in one customer deployment. Its supplier portal gives each supplier a separate workspace with product-information management functions. Supplier access is free with reduced functionality, while validation, import, and export remain available. Suppliers can distribute validated data through GDSN or other formats. SyncManager can connect to existing IT systems and Bayard’s b-synced GDSN data pool. Dashboards evaluate supplier data quality across logistics, purchasing, and classification indicators. Bayard describes it as the cloud foundation for a Healthcare Content Data Portal for German purchasing groups; one case study covered more than one million published products. Bayard Consulting, based in Cologne, acquired SyncManager from 1WorldSync in 2020 and customizes implementations to customer data models.
