January 14th, 2026

Las Vegas, NV – January 13, 2026 — Facilisgroup, the leading technology provider for promotional product distributors, announced major product innovations and strategic initiatives at its annual Winter Summit during the PPAI Expo today. The announcements include visions for their 2026-2027 roadmap and updates for their February Winter Release.

The innovations underscore Facilisgroup’s commitment to building tools that help high-volume distributors increase efficiency across all their teams, manage orders from any channel, and use advanced industry analytics to drive strategic decisions and gain a competitive advantage.

Syncore Data Suite: Introducing Promo’s AI Insights & Analytics Platform

Facilisgroup announced a new offering that will help distributors gain a competitive edge – Syncore Data Suite, which is scheduled to launch in 2026. The suite brings powerful AI-driven intelligence into the Syncore platform. By aggregating industry and company data into a unified analytics engine, the suite will deliver fast reporting with real-time insights and proactive AI recommendations to increase sales and enhance operations – eliminating the need for manual pivot tables or disparate reporting sources.

“Now more than ever, it’s critical for distributors to know where they’re at compared to others and where the industry is going, all in real time,” said Matthew Cromar, Chief Product Officer at Facilisgroup. “Syncore Data Suite will give our Distributor Partners true competitive advantage, always putting them two steps ahead of the competition and helping them act on opportunities before they’re lost – without needing to piece different data together to understand it all.”

2026 Product Roadmap: Building for the Future

Facilisgroup’s 2026 roadmap is comprehensive and focuses on 5 key themes that drive value for distributors:

  1. AI-Powered Business Recommendations & Insights: With Syncore Data Suite, Distributor Partners can customize dashboards, drill deeper into the data, and use an AI assistant to uncover game-changing insights and business recommendations.
  2. Easier Client Buying Experience: Features like online approvals and advancements in Program Stores Management allow clients to order from anywhere without friction and support enterprise growth.
  3. Efficient Finance Flows: Automatic AR statements, along with upcoming enhancements to tax exemptions, commission codes, and payment terms, will streamline financial operations and drive quicker payment.
  4. Faster Order Processing: A user interface refresh across the platform, expanded ePO supplier integrations, and enhancements to processing tools will make Syncore even more intuitive and enable efficient, accurate order fulfillment.
  5. Workflow Automation: Additional Syncore Connect integrations, including QuickBooks, HubSpot, Outlook Email, NetSuite, and Shopworks, bring together tech, teams, and data and help distributors automate common workflows.

Winter Release Preview: Online Order Approvals & Faster Finance Processes

Facilisgroup’s Winter Release will introduce several highly anticipated features designed to make ordering easier for distributor clients and make the AR process faster. Highlights scheduled to launch in February include:

  • Fast Online Approvals: Clients can approve orders and artwork attachments directly online, eliminating extra emails and expediting turnaround times.
  • Automate AR Statements: Finance teams can automate monthly AR statement delivery, improving cash flow, reducing manual workload, and providing a professional client experience.
  • Efficient Invoicing: Finance teams can batch invoice processing, share AR logs, and apply payments to multiple invoices in a single step, driving efficiency across finance operations.

Merging Technology Innovation with Human Connection

As Facilisgroup celebrates 20 years of innovation leadership, the company reaffirms its commitment to building technology that enhances human connection, not replaces it.

“Our goal is to empower distributors to be thoughtful consultants for their clients rather than transaction processors, developing meaningful relationships and creating long-term value,” says Chris Lee, President at Facilisgroup.

The Winter Summit emphasized the importance of building technology that supports a distributor-driven vision to innovate impactfully and achieve industry success.
