mTab is a food and beverage market research and insights platform. It turns category trackers, taste studies, concept tests and shopper data into decisions: Pulse monitors purchase drivers, functional claims, recipe and packaging feedback, competitor launches and channel demand by shopper segment, and tells each team what changed and what to do next.

Decisions mTab supports in food & beverage

  • Which claims and formats to take into the innovation pipeline
  • How to respond when loyal buyers notice a recipe or packaging change
  • Whether competitor launches are building repeat purchase or only trial
  • Which channels and formats to prioritize for younger shoppers
  • What the brand should say as value perception shifts

What Pulse monitors

  • Purchase drivers and claims
  • Brand affinity and loyalty
  • Recipe and taste feedback
  • Packaging feedback
  • Competitor launches
  • Trial and repeat
  • Channel and format demand
  • Category conversation

Where signals get missed today

  • A taste study and a tracker both showing loyal buyers noticed a recipe change, read by different teams
  • A competitor's trial gain reported before repeat data is in, with the retailer meeting already booked
  • Single-serve demand rising in convenience channels, identified after the range review

What Pulse surfaces

Signals Pulse surfaces for food & beverage teams

Market Shift

Low-sugar claims lost purchase-reason importance to protein among younger shoppers

Why it matters

A 4-point shift in two waves. Your core line leads with low sugar.

What to do next: Brief innovation on a protein-forward variant and test the claim in the next concept round.

Research Finding

The taste study and the tracker agree that the new recipe lost ground with loyal buyers

Why it matters

Two studies confirm the same concern. Loyal buyers cite sweetness.

What to do next: Synthesize both into one finding for the recipe review.

Competitor

A competitor's functional beverage gained trial among health-conscious shoppers

Why it matters

Trial moved 3 points in two waves. Repeat is not yet visible.

What to do next: Ask Pulse for the repeat cut next wave and brief marketing.

What food and beverage signals does Pulse track?

Purchase drivers and claims, brand affinity and loyalty, recipe and packaging feedback, competitor launches, trial and repeat, channel and format demand, and category conversation, across your trackers and the market.

Which of our data can Pulse use?

Trackers and studies in Halo, survey and experience platforms, customer and commercial systems, documents and public market sources. Pulse starts with public signals and becomes specific to you as sources are connected.
