How NAKITORA is Revolutionizing the F&B Industry with Real-Time Insights
By NAKITORA Team
August 19, 2024
In the fast-paced world of food and beverage, staying ahead of consumer trends is crucial. We saw a massive gap—companies were struggling to keep up with shifting consumer preferences. Traditional methods like focus groups just weren't cutting it. That's when we decided to create a platform that could deliver real-time, actionable insights directly from consumers.
Outdated Methods in a Rapidly Evolving Market
We remember working in the industry and seeing firsthand how slow the response to new trends could be. By the time a product was developed, consumer tastes had already moved on. We knew we needed something faster, something smarter. Traditionally, the F&B industry has relied on outdated methods like focus groups and historical data to inform product development. In a market where consumer preferences can shift overnight, the need for real-time data is more pressing than ever.That’s how NAKITORA was born.
According to a 2022 report by Food Industry Insights, 67% of new product launches fail to meet sales expectations due to misalignment with consumer trends.
The Solution: Leveraging AI for Real-Time Consumer Insights
We built NAKITORA to be more than just a tool—it’s a real-time powerhouse. Our platform pulls data from everywhere—social media, restaurant menus, consumer reviews—and turns it into actionable insights. Imagine knowing exactly what consumers want before they even know it themselves. That's what NAKITORA does.
Overcoming Challenges: The Technical Hurdles
Building this wasn’t easy. Developing the AI, especially the natural language processing (NLP) for our TasteGPT engine, was one of the biggest challenges. But seeing it in action now, processing millions of data points daily, makes all the hard work worth it.
NAKITORA processes over 10 million data points daily, providing users with up-to-the-minute insights that keep them ahead of the curve.
The Impact: Democratizing Data for All
Our vision for NAKITORA is clear: to make data-driven insights accessible to everyone in the F&B industry, from large corporations to small startups. By providing tools that allow companies to innovate faster and reduce waste, we’re helping to create a more responsive and efficient market.
"NAKITORA has become an indispensable tool in our product development process. The ability to anticipate consumer trends in real time has given us a competitive edge."
