About us

From market research, for manufacturers and retailers.

The founders have worked with manufacturers and retailers on market and shopper data for many years, among others at NielsenIQ and Bormann & Gordon. Synthexa grew out of that work: software that analyses studies, panels and surveys and backs every statement with its source.

Why Synthexa

The market knowledge is there.
It is rarely at hand.

Every year, manufacturers and retailers invest in studies, panels and surveys. The results sit in presentations, spreadsheets and the heads of experienced colleagues. Anyone who needs to answer a specific question searches folders, asks around or commissions a new analysis.

The founders know this situation from many years on the provider side, at NielsenIQ and Bormann & Gordon. Synthexa therefore brings existing market knowledge together in one place and delivers the results in the formats your team works with.

How we work

Four principles behind every use case.

  • Sources, not claims

    Every answer points to the document and the passage it comes from, so every statement can be checked.

  • Domain before technology

    We start with the questions of category management and shopper insights. The technology follows the use case.

  • Privacy from the start

    Hosting in Frankfurt, AI processing in Europe, no training on your data.

  • Together with your team

    We start with a clearly scoped use case and extend the platform together with your team.
