High Performance Automated Category Review Templates

Designed for Lean Teams with Lean Budgets

Most organizations struggle with finding enough time to create dynamic, data driven category review presentations for their sales teams. The process of creating presentations across hundreds of retailers, and keeping the data current, is time consuming and tedious.  And it keeps business analysts and your sales team from spending time on more productive and meaningful tasks.

Our best practice category review templates have been curated over many years’ experience with the leading consumer package goods manufacturers and enable you to quickly create a compelling selling story customized at the retailer level for your entire sales team.

Our automation process will eliminate the hundreds of hours each month wrangling the data, making sure that charts, text, footers, and fonts are all consistent and then having  to customize the presentation for different accounts, time periods and categories. XP3 XPress templates will save your team a huge amount of time and empower them to move on to more analytical, insightful tasks.

Getting started with customizable best practice category review templates is easy

Simply provide us with the data (SPINS, Nielsen or IRI, syndicated and panel) and quickly launch customizable, retailer specific persuasive selling stories that are accessed by your organization in the cloud.  No need to install any software; no need to learn new programs.  We provide a professional service team and a hosted cloud solution which together, makes your life a whole lot easier.

Getting started is simple – Interactive Edge will guide you through XP3 XPress, our new offering of best practice category review templates. You create your own narrative by selecting the content, level of granularity and design for the presentation from our template collections. The XP3 XPress data grid will enable you to quickly determine your data spec.   Provide us with the data and you will have a best practices category review on XP3 BI Cloud, our secure Azure environment, within two weeks.  Your end users will be able to access the presentation and using a very simple interface, select their retailer, time period, etc.  Within minutes a customized PowerPoint presentation is generated with retailer logos, intelligent text and a professional design reflecting your organization.
