Report Population Service

Outsource report population to Indico Labs.
Our team of charting experts will carefully populate the reports and deliver on time.

Our process

A simple, yet effective three step process

1. Send the documents

For each project, we require the following documents when ready:

  • An annotated PowerPoint shell

  • Final tables in Excel (not interim data)

2. Execution and QA

Work will commence as soon as we receive the two documents above. The turnaround time depends on the number of slides and complexity of the job.

3. Hand off

Indico returns the populated and quality checked deck ready for your commentary. As an estimate, the team can process 50 slides within 3 working days.

What our customers say

Using Indico Labs and their very professional team we are able to send across a data file and receive an editable PowerPoint deck in the required template much faster than we could manually do. This allows the team to spend more time focusing on delivering actionable insights to the client rather than populating charts, as well as meet tight client deadlines without needing to compromise the quality of the story telling.

Aaron Roper, Senior Consultant

Twice we've used the manual updates from Indico just when we had no bandwidth to do a project. Both times it was a custom client who had done one wave and then wanted to do a second wave. We thought we would have the bandwidth to do it ourselves, but they both landed in the fourth quarter and we just didn't

Working with Indico Labs gave us an opportunity to save time charting and spend more time delivering meaningful insights to the client. It allowed us to step back from the data to understand the stories that emerged, and also pleased a lot of the team who could spend more time thinking rather than formatting charts.Working with Indico Labs has always been a delight and I'm looking forward to working closely in the future too!
Matt Davis,
Senior Research Manager

It’s very easy to pass off a deck to Indico and say, “here's the 50 slide deck. I put notes on every page and I'm gonna send you the cross tabs and just update everything”. Then we do all the analysis. So it's a great option for those one-off projects. It makes sense that you can outsource. We're still going to do the analysis.
