Leadership in Economic Development Software
Synchronist Suite® reinvented the business retention interview almost 20 years ago. Then, we built software to simplify data management. Now, 8 software generations later, Synchronist still provides tools and capabilities that give development professionals unprecedented insight into their local businesses as well as community economic potential. Insights that drive decision-making and resource allocation.
Synchronist has established exacting standards that have not been met by anyone else in the industry: Interview, Interview Validation, Objective Analysis, Predictive Analysis, and Key Performance Indicators (KPI).

Synchronist Post-COVID-19:
Two Important Changes
The Synchronist User Development Team has worked to reshape the Synchronist interview to be sensitive to the current COVID climate. Built on the shoulders of the original Synchronist interview, we have removed questions that are out of sync in the current environment. The number of COVID specific questions has been intentionally limited. The interview is designed around the traditional one-on-one interview process, in-person, online meeting, or phone call.
In COVID, we confirmed a known fact: our audience is much larger than we can ever reach with one-on-one interviews. Therefore, the 2nd change is the addition of a new Synchronist BR|E Screening Tool. The SST allows users to reach out to companies beyond our normal personal interview reach to identify individual companies that should get personal attention. Data from online survey responses flows back into the Synchronist database as part of the company record where it can be analyzed and reported.
In both cases, we are applying what we learned from the BR|E Emergency Response Network work to extend our reach and maximize our impact.
Why Go It Alone?
Today’s sophisticated contact management programs can be modified to do almost anything – at a cost. And, while it is exciting to have control, the end result does not always match the vision and may fall short of the need when the time and money run out. Custom more often than not means added cost, delays, and frustration.
Synchronist Suite® is the original and only crowd sourced economic development software. Users benefit from the input of hundreds of economic development professionals just like you. Working with Synchronist every day, these economic development professionals identify and suggest refinements or additions that result in a constantly improving, more powerful tool for every user—delivered with each login—at no additional cost.
