“This tool saves me hundreds of hours every month! As a vendor representing a broad portfolio of products, it is important for us to efficiently analyze massive amounts of data and serve up business insights that are relevant to our retail partners. XP3 helps my team do exactly that by taking the manual work out of creating analytic content and presentations and giving non-technical users almost unlimited flexibility to drill into business issues on-the-fly. The speed and quality of the insights we can deliver when leveraging this kind of technology is a true competitive advantage.”
Newell Rubbermaid
XP3 has enabled Acosta to achieve greater efficiency and consistency by taking a single standard presentation and automatically replicating it across retailers. This results in far less time being spent refreshing data pulls and copying information into presentations and more time being spent focusing on insights and actionable recommendations. XP3 allows us to present our insights and recommendations to the retailer in a meaningfully enhanced, customized (yet still on brand!) presentation.”
Acosta
“Using XP3 has been one of the most significant pieces of our three-year re-organization. The results and insights we are getting from the solution have been phenomenal. It has changed the vernacular of the majority of the company so that category management and shopper insights folks are speaking the same language and made our best resources more efficient. They're spending time on digging deeper into the opportunities because they're not wasting this time wading through mounds of data to first find the opportunities. We are seeing many more customized recommendations for our retail partners as a result.”
Evaluated Interactive Edge when you need data analysis tools that have industry best practices baked in and aren't inclined to build them from scratch or from non-industry BI platforms. You have power users as well as corporate/key customer team settings or one-person account managers. You want to obtain insights and recommendations through analysis and be able to share them in compelling visual form."
Nestlé
"Interactive Edge continues with a market-leading solution that should be increasingly interesting to CG companies as they get control of their issues in trade promotions/retail execution and realize the value of automated data loads, industry-specific analytics and superior presentation graphics. Organizations that use the XP3 solution are among the most-positive references we know. It is interesting that the solution is used beyond category management, even for forecasting or where data loading and manipulation are required.
