French term or phrase: est remonté, par synchronisation, dans le portail
L'application, développée par Compagnie X, permet de saisir des informations relatives à l'état des voies sur un terminal mobile. Ces informations, une fois consolidées, permettent de définir un indice de qualité de la voie ferrée et de prévoir les interventions à réaliser. L'ensemble des informations saisies est remonté, par synchronisation, dans le portail maintenance voie de la SNCF. La SNCF et Compagnie X se sont appuyés sur une architecture sécurisée.

English translation:is passed back, by synchronisation, to the portal
Explanation:
Staff use hand-held devices to enter data and then send it back to the portal - this is called synchronisation because before that occurs, the data on the portal is out of step with the more up-to-date data that is on the hand-held device.
In a sense, it's "remonté" because the portal is considered to be "higher" in the data hierarchy than the hand-held; in reality, "remonter" is often used for data transfers in general.

I think though that it is important to indicate the direction of flow - in this case FROM handheld TO portal. Synchronisation in the other direction may (probably does) occur as well.

neutral  Charlie Bavington: IMHO, this is not specific enough regarding the direction of flow - from the handheld device to the portal. Your suggestion is ambiguous.// Very true, but in the para given, the direction is clear.
