b-synced grows rapidly: Number of suppliers quadrupled in 16 months

An exceptionally large number of suppliers of the grocery retail industry are choosing b-synced for their connection to the Global Data Synchronisation Network (GDSN). Suppliers of healthcare providers are also increasingly relying on the young master data pool of the Bayard Consulting Group.

In the report published by the GS1 community for the period from June 2019 to October 2020, b-synced has grown relatively more than any other master data pool in terms of supplier connectivity to the GDSN. b-synced also ranks a respectable fourth in terms of percentage growth in the number of connected data recipients such as retail companies. In total, there are 43 GDSN master data pools worldwide.

Among the newly added users of b-synced are industry giants such as Meica, Vitakraft, and fruit juice producer Amecke. But Bayard Consulting Group was also able to win important industry players on the data recipient side with Idealo, Brandlogistics and the Unternehmensgruppe Brüder Schlau.

Marc auf der Mauern, Senior Consultant at BAYARD, sees the great success of the GDSN data pool, which was only launched in April 2018, in the direct first-level support provided to users by specialists with more than 10 years of experience in connecting in-house systems to the GDSN: "Our great expertise in the area of the various Product Information Management (PIM) systems used in companies enables us to provide our customers with the best possible support," explains Marc auf der Mauern. Customers also regularly describe the extraordinarily high user-friendliness of b-synced, for example in the workflow for correcting rejected data records, as a considerable advantage over other solutions.
