What is it?

The initial work on Information Alignment and Synchronization Mexico was presented in 1997, when the analysis of the situation of companies evidenced the need of a process to support cost reduction and elimination of non-value adding activities in companies, based on the fact that the information is the foundation to optimize different business operations: cataloging, purchase order generation, delivery and reception of goods, and even billing and payments.

These needs led to creation of the Information Alignment Work Committee, which, considering the viewpoint of all the industrial sectors, built a business case that in 2000 would become eventually in the development of the first version of the initial model of Data Synchronization in Mexico.

Thus, creation of a data repository was achieved, that stores information of commercial products in an orderly and standardized fashion, to allow information exchange between customers and suppliers.

The Electronic Product Catalog "SYNCFONIA" has been built based on the needs of the Mexican market, allowing an easy integration with the rest of the processes in national companies.
