The solution that gives you in-depth insight into your products and consumers.
XLSTAT Sensory, sensory analysis statistical tools in Excel
A reference software in sensometrics: Preference Mapping, CATA, Panel Analysis, Discrimination tests and many more.
XLSTAT Sensory is the solution for sensory data analysts who want to gain valuable time by using the most recent methods available. Take advantage of a solution that speaks your language (products, assessors, attributes...) and gives you actionable results. With XLSTAT Sensory you can give your R&D department the power to create the right products for targeted groups at a reasonable cost.
With tools ranging from multiple factor analysis to product characterization and panel analysis, XLSTAT Sensory is used by some of the largest food & consumer goods companies in the world.
The Sensory solution includes all of the Basic+ features in addition to features specific to the sensory data analysis field.
