“NielsenIQ has more of a customizable package to our particular needs, and it was very cost effective. The tool was just more beneficial and fit our needs better.”
Chris Brann, Director of Retail at Soylent
The business challenge
Soylent’s previous data provider didn’t have the actionable insights or up-to-date data they needed to scale.
What do you do with subpar data?
How can you act quickly to grow and maintain shelf space?
Do buyers even want to listen if you don’t have the right data?

The data solution
Not all data and data providers are created equally – and Soylent is proof that reliable and accurate data points can make a huge difference to your small business strategy.
They had access to data from a subpar provider that wasn’t actionable and left them flying blind.
Tactics and strategies weren’t optimized since the data wasn’t helping drive the right initiatives.
With access to Byzzer, Soylent has been able to optimize their efforts to gain shelf space, defend against the competition, and identify areas where there’s room for growth.
