What do you like best about SyncForce Circular PIM?

In my job I have to work with a lot of digtal Assets. Images, lineart, videos, pdf files for printed matter etc. All these assets can be managed easy in Syncforce. For images different variants and filetypes are generated and for videos and printed matter localizations can be added. If one of our dealers is looking for an image I can easy send them the digital asset number so they can find what they are looking for. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about SyncForce Circular PIM?

Well structured platform which allows you to manage your product information in a simple and user friendly way.

Continiously improving the PIM environment, also based on input from the users via the e-community Club SyncForce.

Different modules (Product Portfolio, DAM, Brand Portal, Project Management, ...) to serve the customer needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SyncForce Circular PIM?

The limited possibilities to do mass changes (bulk updates) yourself. There is a standard tool available, but it is very limited in its capabilites.

Categorizing products and/or Digital Assets to proposition(s) is not user friendly and very time consuming.

Due to limited available capacity within the SyncForce company improvements and/or requests take a lot of time before they are implemented.

Lacks (live) dashboards possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SyncForce Circular PIM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having all the product information available in one program, single source of truth!

What do you like best about SyncForce Circular PIM?

Complete PIM solution for creating, enriching and maintaining productdata and digital assets with a user friendly user interface. I use SyncForce on a daily basis and the platform is also continuesly being improved with new features (based on input from users, but also for example based on legislation regarding productdata). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SyncForce Circular PIM?

The limited DIY possibilities regarding configuration and/or tweaking the system. These kind of changes must go through SyncForce and/or an implementation partner, which can be sometimes time consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SyncForce Circular PIM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Having all the relevant Digital Assets and Product Data available in one system, which can be used internally and also externally (by connecting the available datapool to other data channels). Good traceability regarding changes in all the Product Data (audit trail). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SyncForce Circular PIM?

We use SyncForce as our single version of the truth. All our products, specs, images, manuals etc are in the PIM. The programme is easy to use and looks very user friendly. The hardest part is collecting all the information you want in your system and connecting the images to the right product. I use it multiple times a week and our clients have access to the system and they can download images themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SyncForce Circular PIM?

The main downside of the PIM is that it is not possible to download the product information that is in the system. We get a lot of request from clients to sent them for example the logistical information. It's all in the system, but you can't download it or if a client is logged in, they can't download it themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SyncForce Circular PIM solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used to have multiple excel sheets with product information. Everybody was creating their own and nobody knew if the information was correct. Now we have everything in 1 place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SyncForce Circular PIM?

We are using SyncForce every day for many years now. It provides the tooling to collect all article data during the project phase, enhance that product data further more before sharing it internaly and externally via portals, documents and datapools. It gives the tools to be in control of the ever growing need to exchange more article data. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SyncForce Circular PIM?

Not all aspects of the system can be configured by yourself. You need a support contract. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SyncForce Circular PIM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Customers require all kind of datapool exchange. SyncForce provides automatic data exchange via several datapools (GS1 (NL, DE, BE), PSinFood, ImpactBuying SIM).

Article data is everywhere and nowhere. SyncForce provides an easy way to collect all article data from data owners and provides an up to dat view for all.

Project Chaos. SyncForce provides a structed stage and gate project approach, based on templates with all required actions and steps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Hans de Gier of SyncForce Circular PIM

We're glad to hear that you find SyncForce Circular PIM easy to use and that it offers multiple linking and automatic calculation features. We appreciate your feedback on the areas for improvement, such as the ability to add new attributes. With release 312 (that went live on 23 July 2024) multiple features related to mass updating both metadata and product data have become available.

What do you like best about SyncForce Circular PIM?

The SyncForce platform offers all functionality you would expect of a PIM platform and more. For instance it also includes a Digital Asset Management solution, Product Lifecycle management and various configurable workflow e.g. for artwork approvals.

Because of the broad functionality, you can achieve more with less systems. Beneficial for both the business users, who work in a single platform as for the IT having to set-up fewer integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SyncForce Circular PIM?

SyncForce is a cloud platform, meaning that functionality is added and made available for all customers. In a situation where you are looking for a fully custimizable solution tailered for your specific needs this might not always fit. Obviously the platform keeps innovating and would cover the majority of processes and integrations expected from a PIM/DAM platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SyncForce Circular PIM solving and how is that benefiting you?

SyncForce enabled our business to reduce the time to market and increase the online exposure.

Supported by workflows, audit trail and a digital catalog for all artwork, photo's and brochures it's much easier to find and share digital content thru different channels. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
