Sandra Hong
Sr. Analytics & Insights Lead | Axcion
Axcion didn’t need more data. They needed the right signals in the place their sales team already works. Instead of asking reps to change behavior, Tastewise fit into it, bringing menu and trend intelligence directly into Salesforce and turning everyday workflows into smarter selling moments.
Challenges
Axcion had strong operator data, but turning it into effective sales conversations required too much effort.
- Low adoption of external tools. Reps had to intentionally log into separate platforms, which reduced usage
- Too many systems before every call. Switching between tools slowed preparation and created inconsistency
- Missing menu-level context. Operator data lacked visibility into what was actually happening on menus
- Friction in daily workflows. Even valuable insights were ignored if they were not easy to access
Tastewise’s solution
Tastewise became a built-in intelligence layer inside Salesforce.
- Embedded directly into Salesforce. Local Sales Enablement and Menu Innovator live inside the CRM reps already use
- Menu and trend intelligence on every account. Reps see what’s happening on menus alongside their existing operator data
- One view for faster decisions. Key signals, trends, and talking points are available without switching tabs
- Designed for real sales workflows. Insights show up where decisions happen, making usage natural, not forced
How Axcion uses Tastewise inside Salesforce
To prepare for sales conversations, reps access multiple layers of insight in one place:
- Operator data. Account history and relationship context
- Menu signals. What the operator is serving and how menus are evolving
- Trend signals. Rising ingredients, flavors, and concepts in foodservice
- Actionable talking points. Clear direction on what to recommend and why it matters
Results
Tastewise helped Axcion turn insight into something reps actually use, every day, by removing friction and embedding it directly into their workflow.
