Every week, retail teams spend hours — often entire workdays — completing the same tasks: pulling data from multiple sources, synthesizing key findings, formatting charts, and assembling it all into a presentation that's ready to share with leadership, retail buyers, or cross-functional partners. It's necessary work. But it's also deeply manual, repetitive, and time-consuming.

Stackline’s Advisor Presentations eliminates that burden entirely.

With Presentations, Advisor doesn't just answer questions, it builds the entire story. Ask Advisor to analyze market share drivers, evaluate pricing strategy, or build a growth plan for a new product launch, and with one click, it generates a polished, branded PowerPoint presentation that's ready for consumption the moment it's delivered. No formatting required. No slides to design from scratch. No data to double-check.

Those using Presentations are reporting savings of 4–6 hours per week in manual analysis and slide-building, time now returned to higher-value strategic work.

What makes Presentations different from traditional reporting tools is simple, the output is as unique as the conversation that produced it. There are no rigid templates to work around and no pre-defined report structures to fit an analysis into. Instead, Presentations reflect exactly what was asked, the context provided, and the direction the conversation was steered.

Built for the moments that matter

The value of Presentations becomes especially clear in the moments when teams need to move fast:

• Preparing for a retail buyer meeting tomorrow morning.
• Walking leadership through Q1 performance on short notice.
• Aligning the team around a promotional strategy before the planning window closes.

These are the moments when hours matter. When the quality of your analysis determines the quality of the decision. Presentations is built exactly for these situations, giving teams the clarity they need, in the format they need it, without the lead time that manual reporting requires.

How to get started

Creating a Presentation takes minutes. Here’s how it works:

1. Navigate to Advisor: Access Advisor directly, no separate setup or configuration needed.
2. Describe the analysis: Ask a question, explore a data point, or kick off a deeper conversation. Advisor understands natural language, so there's no syntax to learn.
3. Review and refine: Read through Advisor's response and keep the conversation going until the analysis reflects exactly what's needed. The more specific the ask, the more tailored the output.
4. Ask Advisor to build the presentation: When ready, simply ask Advisor to turn the conversation into a PowerPoint. One click, and a polished, ready-to-share deck is generated and waiting for download.

No slide templates to wrestle with. No manual data exports. The presentation is a direct reflection of the analysis built through the conversation with Advisor.

What’s coming next

Stackline will continue to expand Advisor and Presentations to more elements across our platform, such as:

• Search & Share of Voice — keyword-level visibility, organic rankings, and competitive share of voice across a category
• AI Visibility — measure and present a brand's presence across AI-powered shopping platforms like ChatGPT and Amazon Rufus
• Beacon — sales performance, inventory health, forecasting, advertising, and AMC insights in a single presentation-ready format
• Ad Manager — campaign performance, budget allocation, and return on ad spend across retail media channels, with the ability to update and optimize campaigns directly through Advisor, automating advertising execution without ever leaving the platform
• Shopper Analytics — omnichannel shopper panel data including household penetration, share of wallet, loyalty metrics, and survey insights

Advisor was built on a simple premise: the insights that drive better retail decisions shouldn't be locked behind hours of manual work. With Presentations, we've extended that premise to the final mile; the moment when insights need to become communication, and communication needs to drive action.

The result is a faster path from data to decision, across every team, every meeting, and every strategy cycle.
