While at NPEW, the company teams used the Flavor360° platform to capture pictures, videos and other information on these trend-setting natural food and beverage products. This information was coalesced into InsightsNow’s Naturally Trending™ report.

This ultimately results in sparking the best ideas for product development teams—so they can stay on the cutting edge and meet consumer demand.”
