What is ‘Create’?
Create is a software add-in for PowerPoint, Word and Excel that helps your company produce and manage branding in their day-to-day documentation and presentations.
Increased quality of all your deliverables
Create professional and impressive pitch books, due diligence reports and financial presentations with zero effort — every time. Every layout or asset your team needs can be fully customized for your organization; locally and globally.
Synchronized and update-able content
When cloud-enabled, designated company authors can manage and edit content and assets, ensuring your team will always have the latest versions of corporate information, disclaimers and company stats.
Automatic brand checker
Audit your presentations for brand and other inconsistencies with a single click. Our Brand Check summarizes all deviations in a handy pane so you can view and fix them with ease
Creating professional documents has never been easier
Today businesses in over 120 countries rely on our Microsoft accredited software to create value-adding, high-performance business documents fast, to help them win deals, inform executive teams and comply with regulators. We’ve succeeded by simplifying complexity and removing the hassle of producing documents.
With Create, you can effortlessly and consistently apply your corporate identity to every pitch, databook and document with our customized add-in for PowerPoint, Excel & Word.
Personalized Set-up and Training
When we fully customise the software for your firm, we will estimate and agree the time before starting. Typically to setup the first document template in Word is one day, and variations of that are between 2-3 hours, depending on the content within each document.

Features
ADVANCED CHARTING FOR PROFESSIONALS
Create will format any Excel chart and includes advanced chart types — such as Waterfall or Bridge — which would normally require advanced Excel knowledge and potentially hundreds of mouse-clicks. With Create it takes just a few seconds to produce your on-brand charts and works right in Excel and sends them to PowerPoint or Word linking back to source data in Excel… even when sent as a picture.
