From slow research to customer-ready stories: How Givaudan drives faster buy-in with Tastewise

Givaudan’s EMEA team needed to keep pace with fast-moving taste shifts while delivering presentations that felt local, relevant, and grounded in real behavior. Traditional research made that difficult, it took time to gather data, validate ideas, and turn them into something customer-ready.

Using Tastewise, the team can now access real consumer demand signals across recipes, menus, and food conversations. Instead of spending days pulling insights together, they can move from question to presentation in minutes, while development work is still in progress.

Givaudan needed a faster way to turn scattered signals into presentations that resonate with customers.

• Research relied on manual work. Trend analysis often took days of gathering and synthesizing information.
• Limited real-time visibility. It was difficult to validate flavor ideas against what consumers were engaging with right now.
• Presentations lacked local relevance. Customer conversations required more specific, market-level insights.
• Too much time spent preparing insights. Teams spent more time building decks than shaping ideas and stories.

Tastewise became Givaudan’s real-time insight layer for building customer-ready presentations.

• Direct access to consumer demand signals. Tastewise analyzes recipes, menus, and food conversations to show what is gaining traction and why.
• Faster insight workflows. Teams can move from question to insight in minutes using TasteGPT and platform analytics.
• Proof-first storytelling. Presentations start with real data, examples, and drivers, not assumptions.
• Local insight at scale. Market-specific signals allow teams to tailor each conversation to the customer context.

Tastewise helped Givaudan turn faster insight into more consistent and effective customer engagement.
