SyncForce Implementation

We set up SyncForce so that compliance is already built in. Ready for PPWR and DPP without the need for a separate post-processing audit.

What SyncForce Is, and What We Do There

SyncForce is a PIM platform that brings together product information, packaging data, and compliance requirements in one place. We’ll implement it for you, from setting up your data to ensuring adoption by the teams that use it.

Do you see this in your product data?

Your product data is managed by different teams and scattered across ERP, PIM, and Excel. Every new compliance requirement risks becoming yet another separate project. You want to be able to prove that the data is accurate and that the products remain on the shelves.

Why SyncForce x Innovadis

PPWR, DPP, ESPR: the regulations are piling up, and the pressure is on you. SyncForce and Innovadis take that burden off your hands on a structural basis. Not by adding yet another layer of oversight, but by embedding compliance into the process through which you already create and manage your product data.

PPWR isn’t the last requirement you’ll have to deal with. Next comes DPP, and after DPP, something new will come along.

We're not setting things up just to meet this year's requirements, but to lay a foundation that will continue to work once the next one comes along.

First, we identify where your product data is generated

First, we map out the Data Supply Chain. We want to know where product data is generated, who owns it, and where it needs to go. We do this independently of any software. From there, we integrate it with SyncForce’s standard product, packaging, and compliance structures, and configure any additional customer-specific requirements.

We don’t start from scratch, and we don’t launch a separate follow-up project as soon as the next deadline approaches: we manage the entire project, including the governance agreements and adoption by the teams that provide and manage the data. You don’t have to run it yourself. And because we map out that Data Supply Chain independently of any specific software, the outcome could also be a solution other than SyncForce.

We work with a small, carefully curated PIM portfolio in which each solution effectively addresses a different challenge.

Not just another marketing PIM with a compliance checkbox

Most PIM systems are designed for marketing content: attributes, segmentation, and channel publishing. They add compliance as a separate field. SyncForce builds compliance into the data model itself, rather than as a layer on top of it.

The same product data, accurate across every channel

PPWR is what we’re discussing today, but it’s not where we’ll stop. The same product data must also be accurately and completely reflected in every channel: price lists, GS1 data pools, online stores, and customer portals. Compliance is the first step—but not the only one.
