MSA's ProVen projection service provides multiple layers of value-added information to machine-level data. ProVen, the industry's FIRST and ONLY nationally projected data service, is available for the confectionery and snack categories. Our proprietary system takes into consideration influential external factors like industry growth and seasonality and applies them to the data. Thus, projected results reflect an accurate and complete picture of the total industry.

Four geographic regions and the four major classes of trade are projected to represent total sales. Confectionery brand information at the item level is indicative of industry sales with any sample biases removed in the projected results. Integrate ProVen with syndicated scanner data measuring other channels of trade for a more comprehensive measurement of the marketplace.
