Syncle (formerly Videoly) transforms product content distribution by automating the complex workflows between brands and retailers.

This automation reduces product launch timelines while ensuring consistent, high-quality content across all retail channels. Founded in 2014 and led by CEO Nora Huovila, Syncle serves over 500 brands and retailers globally, helping them move from content chaos to clean distribution workflows.

FASK founder Aarseth has worked as seaman in many years, the last years offshore and within anchorhandling. He came from goods/bulk trade and older secondhand vessel types to a offshore environment with new and modern vessels with top equipment of all categories onboard. It was therefore nearly  a shock-experience for him, when he at his first rig-move and this up to date working environment,  observed working methods associated with the stone-age while performing the opening of kenterlinks. Aarseth thought to himself that this operation seemed dangerous and cumbersome. He thought of his own sons working in this industry, and felt that this needed a better solution. That thought was the beginning of the kenter link opener, and Fask Tools. Aarseth came in contact with Statoil and Havila, who were immediately interested, but that required testing of this then unknown tool in  safe environment before testing/operation offshore. Testing was performed onshore by Kongsberg Devotek and later offshore and in operation onboard the Havila Mars.

Our Mission Modern organizations are constrained not by a lack of intelligence, but by the way intelligence is applied. Decisions that should be systematic, auditable, and repeatable are instead handled through informal processes, institutional memory, and ad-hoc judgment. This creates inconsistency, opacity, and risk at scale. Our mission is to bureaucratize AI, not to add friction, but to add structure. We believe the next phase of artificial intelligence is not about replacing human judgment, but about formalizing it. By embedding AI into well-defined procedures, rules, and workflows, we aim to make complex decision-making reliable, transparent, and governable across organizations. Decision Support We build AI decision support systems that operate as institutional infrastructure rather than isolated tools. These systems do not issue commands; they surface options, trade-offs, and consequences in a way that aligns with organizational policy and accountability. By combining machine learning with explicit process design, our platforms augment human operators while preserving oversight and intent. Decisions become faster without becoming arbitrary, and scalable without becoming opaque. In doing so, we enable organizations to apply intelligence consistently at the speed and scale their operations require.
