Ignite AI can search and summarize reports available through a user’s subscription, with more features to come

CHICAGO, Nov. 12, 2025—In a landmark move, Technomic has introduced AI to its Ignite platform, allowing users to instantly find answers to their most important industry questions by searching across an entire subscription to find relevant, data-backed content from the company’s industry-leading reports. In just the first step of many in Ignite’s AI journey, users can also tap into AI summaries for any report type, including PDF, PowerPoint and Excel.

“This milestone represents a big leap forward in how we deliver foodservice intelligence to our clients,” says Patrick Noone, president of Technomic. “Our new AI-powered capabilities are built on the most-trusted insights in the industry, curated by our expert team. Ignite AI helps make our tools smarter and faster than ever before.
