Case Study: Acosta achieves 85‑day time savings and automated, retailer‑ready presentations with Interactive Edge’s XP3

Acosta - Customer Case Study

Acosta struggled with creating and maintaining PowerPoint presentations because data had to be exported to Excel, analyzed, charted and then manually copied into slides, making presentations static, hard to iterate and time‑consuming. Interactive Edge was engaged to address this workflow inefficiency using its XP3 solution to deliver data directly into branded presentations and eliminate repetitive Excel-to-PowerPoint tasks.

Interactive Edge implemented XP3 to automate replication of a single standard presentation across retailers and refresh data without manual copy/paste. As a result, Acosta saved 85 days (680 man hours) of labor, freed analysts to spend more time on retailer‑specific analysis and recommendations, and positioned itself as a consultative, trusted advisor rather than a transactional sales and marketing firm.
