Create products that consumers love, faster and cheaper

A platform empowering product developers to drive innovation and complement their existing workflow

AI-GENERATED RECIPES

Generate recipes within constraints to achieve specific target characteristics and ensure they always meet product requirements. Obtain an unlimited amount of AI generated recipes.

FEEDBACK LOOP TO ALGORITHM

Insert evaluations directly into the algorithm using a predefined set of sensory attributes and measures to collect feedback and guide learning.

UNIFIED APPROACH TO MULTIPLE INITIATIVES

Define projects flexibly under various targets, from cost to sensory and functional behavior, ensuring customization for multiple use cases.

PROJECT RESULTS & LEARNINGS IN ONE VIEW


Analyse interactions and connections between sensory attributes, ingredients, measures and process parameters to understand and expand your product knowledge.

A SINGLE HUB FOR STRUCTURED DATA


Connect product feedback from sensory to analytical measures with formulation quantities, ingredient specifications, and process parameters within a single data structure. No data is shared between clients.

Better products, faster to market, decrease time to market, match consumer preferences and expectations
Cost reduction or cost optimisation of existing portfolio or new product development with cost limits taken into account in product requirements or product claims

Salt reduction, keep crispiness and increase flavour intake in your savoury snacks.

Traditional product development vs. Exhive empowerment

The R&D workflow requires multiple stages. Exhive is here to complement the current ways of working and simultaneously empowering product developers to create more with less [data / time / cost / resources].

  • Traditionally, information is scattered and spread out in multiple places and excels around the organisation. At the same time, collected data stays with 3rd parties making knowledge sharing nearly impossible.

    With the Exhive platform, product developers can learn from previous initiatives and their setups, data can be reused across different projects and is stored in one place.

  •  Product developers often need to make fast decisions on what to try next solely based on their best bets.

    With the platform you can generate an unlimited amount of viable recipes that are optimized for set targets and based on defined constraints and parameters, enabling rapid iteration and optimization.

  • Oftentimes, the loudest opinion and biases affect the results and can alter decision making. 

    Exhive’s platform brings structure to a process that was unstructured before and takes decisions from opinions to data driven facts.

  •  External testing is expensive, requires resources and results are typically a short summary delivered in a powerpoint.

    With Exhive you’ll identify and understand improvement needs where consumer results are tied to ingredient levels. Moving forward data can be used as a baseline to be built upon and leveraged.

    With the platform you can generate an unlimited amount of viable recipes that are optimized for set targets and based on defined constraints and parameters, enabling rapid iteration and optimization.

  •  Often product developers lack visibility and stored data on success and failure reasons. Many times key learnings are lost due to changes in personnel. 

    Exhive stores experimental data in one place, facilitating knowledge sharing between peers and reducing reliance on individual expertise.

“As a product developer, it is always a challenge to balance the scientific desire to explore all possible variables with the business need to move quickly. The Exhive platform helps me achieve both by creating a thorough and efficient experimental design.

While I have previously only been able to explore 2-5 variables over a handful of levels for any given experimental design, this platform allows me to evaluate as many variables as the project requires over a very small number of samples, allowing me to achieve my goals quickly and efficiently while still keeping cost and nutrition in mind.”
