Syncora simplifies every step of the study startup process, empowering teams to manage site startup, tasks, and compliance seamlessly—all within one powerful platform.
Run study startup without the spreadsheet
Most teams manage study startup across shared spreadsheets, folders, and long email threads. As studies scale, information becomes outdated, tasks get duplicated, documents go missing, and no one has a clear view of which sites are truly ready.
One place for every startup activity
Syncora holds the work that happens before your CTMS takes over. Site leads, startup tasks, and document templates live in a single system, so status is something you look up rather than something you ask for.
Every change is timestamped and attributed, which means the tracker and the audit trail are the same record.
Inside Study Startup
Lead Management
Track every prospective site from first contact through to selection. Feasibility responses, contact history, and capability notes stay attached to the site record instead of scattered across inboxes.
- Review the latest site communication.
- Access the completed questionnaire
- See who is responsible for the next action.

Works with your existing systems
Syncora covers the startup phase and hands off cleanly. It does not replace your CTMS, eTMF, or EDC — it holds the work that happens before those systems have anything to track.
