Built for CPG innovation. Engineered for the pace consumer brands demand.

Narratize gives CPG innovation teams a Product Knowledge Hub engineered for the cross-functional reality of consumer innovation — from consumer insight through formulation, regulatory, brand strategy, and shelf.

Challenges

CPG innovation is cross-functional by nature. The handoffs are where velocity dies.

CPG teams juggle consumer insight, formulation science, multi-market regulation, brand architecture, and retail windows — often for products with six-month launch cycles. The hardest part isn't any single function. It's keeping all of them aligned as the work moves forward.

Challenge 01 · Handoff Loss

Consumer insight gets lost in translation to formulation.

Consumer research teams identify the unmet need. R&D teams translate it into formulation targets. By the time the brief reaches the bench, key nuances of the consumer insight are missing — and the formulation answers a slightly different question than the one that started the work.

Challenge 02 · Multi-Market Regulation

Forty markets mean forty regulatory realities.

A product launched globally faces different claims rules, ingredient restrictions, and testing requirements in every market. Regulatory teams often rebuild evidence dossiers for each submission — and when one market asks a follow-up question, the answer lives in someone else's files.

Challenge 03 · Claims Substantiation

Marketing claims need evidence the team can actually find.

Every claim on every package has to rest on verifiable evidence — consumer testing, clinical data, regulatory filings. When legal reviews an ad campaign, the evidence that supports each claim is scattered across a dozen systems and a dozen timelines.

Challenge 04 · Portfolio Innovation

New SKUs have to fit the brand portfolio, not just the market.

Every launch decision affects portfolio architecture, cannibalization risk, and brand equity. When innovation teams make launch recommendations, the portfolio context that should inform them often hasn't traveled across the brand teams managing each sub-portfolio.

Use Cases

One hub per brand. Every function contributes. Every launch carries the full story.

Narratize doesn't adapt a generic platform to CPG. The workflows, templates, and agents are engineered for how consumer innovation teams actually move from insight to shelf — across functions, across markets, across launch windows.

Use Case 01

Consumer insight intact from research to bench.

Consumer research — qualitative interviews, quantitative studies, behavioral data — flows into structured briefs that preserve the original insight through every subsequent step. When R&D scopes formulation, the consumer need the work is answering stays visible and traceable.

What this changes
The signal from consumer research stops attenuating at every handoff. The product actually answers the question that started the work.
Use Case 02

Regulatory submissions built from one source.

Every target market's regulatory submission builds from the same source-traced evidence. When one market asks a follow-up, the answer is already connected to the product record. New markets start with the evidence the other 39 already have.

What this changes
Regulatory submissions compress from weeks of reassembly to days of context-specific adaptation. Global launches accelerate.
Use Case 03

Claims substantiation always legal-ready.

Every marketing claim links to the evidence that supports it — consumer testing, clinical data, regulatory records. When legal reviews an ad, the evidence dossier is already assembled. When a claim is challenged, the provenance is in one click.

What this changes
Legal reviews stop being investigations. Claims substantiation becomes a continuous property of the product record.
Use Case 04

Portfolio decisions with brand context attached.

Launch recommendations surface with complete portfolio context — fit, cannibalization risk, brand architecture alignment, commercial readiness. Brand, R&D, and commercial leaders decide from the same shared picture, not three different spreadsheets.

What this changes
Launch decisions stop being siloed debates. They become strategic conversations grounded in shared evidence.
Functions

Every team in CPG innovation runs on the same hub.

From consumer insights and R&D formulation to regulatory affairs, brand marketing, commercial, and supply chain — every function that touches a CPG launch contributes to and draws from the same Product Knowledge Hub.

R&D & Formulation

Formulation science linked to consumer insight.

Every formulation choice ties back to the consumer need it answers. R&D scientists can see not just what's on the bench but why — and the next formulation starts from real context.

Consumer Insights

Research that travels through every stage.

Consumer interviews, quantitative studies, and behavioral research structure into briefs and product definitions that preserve the original insight — through formulation, claims, and launch.

Regulatory Affairs

Submissions built from source-traced evidence.

Multi-market regulatory submissions assemble from the hub's structured knowledge. Every claim in every market submission traces back to verified evidence — and across markets, that evidence is shared, not rebuilt.

Brand Marketing

Claims grounded in verified product evidence.

Marketing claims, package copy, and campaign messaging rest on the same evidence the R&D and regulatory teams have verified. The distance between product truth and brand message shrinks to nothing.

Commercial & Sales

Launch readiness grounded in full context.

Commercial teams see the complete launch picture — consumer insight, product performance, regulatory status, and portfolio fit — so retail conversations rest on the full story, not just the creative deck.

Supply Chain & Operations

Scale-up aligned with formulation reality.

Pilot scale, process validation, and manufacturing handoffs inherit the R&D formulation rationale — so production starts with the full context of why the formulation was designed the way it was.

Customers

Built for the consumer brands moving at the speed of the aisle.

Narratize's CPG customers span food and beverage, personal care, household products, pet care, and specialty beauty — all operating under the same reality: launch windows are short, consumer expectations are high, and institutional knowledge has to travel at the speed of retail.

Global Food & Beverage

Food and beverage leaders innovating across global markets and portfolios.

Global food and beverage manufacturers use Narratize to coordinate consumer insight, formulation science, regulatory submissions, and brand strategy across dozens of markets and brand portfolios — without losing fidelity at any handoff.

Personal Care Leaders

Personal care brands building at the pace consumer culture demands.

Global personal care manufacturers use Narratize to move from consumer insight to shelf faster — with every launch carrying complete evidence, clear brand fit, and defensible claims across global regulatory contexts.

Household & Home Care

Household product teams innovating under global regulatory complexity.

Household product manufacturers use Narratize to navigate REACH, safety testing, and ingredient regulations across markets — while keeping formulation teams, regulatory affairs, and brand aligned at every stage.

Specialty & Pet Innovation

Specialty and pet brands with passionate, informed consumers.

Specialty beauty, pet nutrition, and wellness brands use Narratize to innovate at the pace of passionate consumer communities — where claim credibility, science transparency, and brand trust define the category.
