Syndigo, a global leader in Product Experience Management (PXM) solutions, announced its acquisition of 1WorldSync, creating a more than $3.5 billion enterprise backed by Summit Partners, TJC, L.P., and Battery Ventures. Together, the company powers 90% of the top 20 retailers in the U.S. as the leading AI-first software provider behind eCommerce product pages. This strategic move accelerates Syndigo’s mission to drive winning product shopping experiences across every channel, and to empower brands, retailers, and distributors to delight customers and grow their businesses in a rapidly changing commerce environment.
“This acquisition positions us to support tomorrow’s shopping experience by building the most advanced AI-first PXM solutions on the market,” said Simon Angove, Syndigo CEO. “Consumers are shopping and connecting with brands in ever-evolving ways, fueled by the speed and flexibility of AI, social commerce, and personalization at scale. Brands and retailers need a robust solution to meet and exceed consumer expectations today and in the future. With this acquisition, we’re building software for the next generation of retail, including accelerating agentic AI PXM.”
In the new era of retail, consistent and accurate shopping experiences across a proliferation of channels are table stakes, and shopping research is increasingly powered by AI. In addition, multimedia, ratings and reviews, and 360-degree views of products dramatically improve conversion rates and reduce returns.

- Recommend optimal content by analyzing brand- and user-generated content (UGC): With the addition of 1WorldSync’s UGC capabilities, PowerReviews, Syndigo will build agentic AI that incorporates real shopper feedback to improve product content automatically. This unique capability will allow brands to drive more relevance, personalization and conversion, building customer trust and loyalty.
- Scale the global footprint: The combined organization serves more than 18,000 customers in 60 countries with 12 global offices and a team of over 1,500 employees – the deepest bench of PXM industry expertise to drive successful outcomes. This scale gives customers the flexibility to launch faster, localize content more effectively, and meet regional requirements with accuracy and precision.
- Build for the ecosystem: With 100+ solution integrators and technology partners, Syndigo is primed to drive deeper integrations, ecosystem innovation, and scalable transformation across commerce, retail, electronics, and CPG.
“Syndigo is a natural home for 1WorldSync customers, employees, and technology,” said Steve Sivitter, 1WorldSync CEO. “Unifying our retail networks and adding 1WorldSync product capabilities to Syndigo’s solutions enable our combined company to truly transform product experience management to meet the needs of our customers as we create the future of shopping together.”
Syndigo and 1WorldSync are delivering more than just added functionality.

This acquisition positions the combined company to lead the industry with unmatched scale, innovation, and customer impact.
