Preset Benchmark KPIs are designed to benchmark your business's performance against other businesses in the same industry as well as key metrics beyond your simple GAAP performance. Preset Benchmark KPIs do not use your budget to calculate your desired goal but offer a limited configuration of ''Relational to Last Year Averaging'' or ''Custom Defined Averaging'' calculation methods.  For more details on the configuration options see the section on [[Custom KPI Data Entry|'''Custom KPI Data Entry''']].  You will need to configure either the ''Relational Percent Change'' or month-to-month ''Custom Budget'' depending on if you chose Relational or Custom goals.

Explanation

Preset Benchmark KPIs are designed to benchmark your business's performance against other businesses in the same industry, as well as track key metrics beyond simple GAAP performance. Preset Benchmark KPIs do not use your budget to calculate your desired goal, instead they offer a limited configuration of Relational to Last Year Averaging or Custom Defined Averaging calculation methods.

The 8 metrics tested with Preset Benchmark KPIs are Profit Margin, Asset Turnover, Return on Investment, Leverage Factor, Return on Equity, Payroll as % of Sales, Transportation as % of Sales and Shrink as % of Sales.

By default tracking is based on your specific goals as defined by you. You can also enable benchmark tracking to compare your performance against other company's within your industry. Because these are ratios, the total values are discarded and you are tracking performance against ratios comparing your company's efficiency to your goal and (if enabled) other companies.


Profit Margin tracks your Net Profit divided by Total Sales.

Asset Turnover tracks your Total Sales divided by Total Combined Assets.

Return on Investment tracks your Net Profit divided by Total Combined Assets.

Leverage Factor tracks your Total Assets divided by Net Worth.

Return on Equity tracks your Net Profit divided by Net Worth.

Payroll as % of Sales tracks your Payroll divided by Sales.
