Ampler PowerPoint toolbar

The Ampler PowerPoint add-in originated from real-world consulting frustrations. Our founders, former Bain consultants, experienced firsthand the repetitive nature of PowerPoint tasks and the inefficiency in sourcing reusable slides. Over a decade ago, we introduced an early version to prominent Nordic consultancy QVARTZ (now part of Bain). Encouraged by enthusiastic feedback and requests for new features, the comprehensive Ampler suite was born.

Today, Ampler also includes dedicated tools for Excel, Word, Outlook, and powerful data visualization through Ampler Charts, making it the only comprehensive software solution tailored explicitly for consultants.

Easily visualize data with Ampler Charts

If you have been with Bain for a long time you are probably a super user of Mekko graphics and might even know Think-Cell. We have worked with both when we were consultants. We have taken our experience and made Ampler Charts which does all the same as Mekko graphics and Think-Cell plus much more and it is fully integrated into Ampler allowing you to use Amplers arrange, align, and adjust functions work on our charts as well. Here is few high lights:

  • Over 40 customizable chart types including waterfall, column, bar, line, pie, scatter, Mekko, and combination charts
  • Effortlessly highlight insights with automated annotations, labels, legends, and decorations such as CAGR arrows and axis breaks
