synergizes

Works better combined

Synergizes means to work together in a way that produces a combined effect greater than the sum of separate efforts.

The term comes from corporate and scientific contexts but has spread into general use: The new software synergizes with our existing systems.

Often appears in business jargon where simpler words like "combines" or "works well with" would suffice.
