Portfolio Monitoring

Updated over 4 months ago

Portfolio Monitoring provides a structured, interactive overview of your entire product portfolio.
It combines product management, performance tracking, and market analysis in one central view — allowing you to make faster, data-driven decisions.

With Portfolio Monitoring, you can:

  • Manage your entire portfolio – view all brands, products, and variants in a clear hierarchical structure.

  • Access product details at a glance – including GTINs, prices, images, reviews, ingredients, claims, effects, attributes, and certifications.

  • Understand market-related insights – such as the number of active products, new launches, average prices, pack sizes, and top performers per product type.

  • Personalize your view – hide or show columns, sort and filter data (by category, ingredient, or e-tailer), switch between My Portfolio and Market Monitoring, and export data for reports or collaboration.

My Portfolio

The My Portfolio section provides a complete overview of all selected brands, products, and variants.
It combines general product information, performance metrics, and product characteristics in one interactive interface.

The goal is to maintain a clear overview of your portfolio at all times, monitor product developments, and make data-driven optimization decisions.
