Benchmark Tool

Periodic comparison!

Our intelligent online do-it-yourself Benchmark Tool has been created to make you successful in benchmarking. We support you with useful gadgets in all parts of the process managing your surveys.

Adjust the Tool to your branding and demands and it becomes your Benchmark Tool. Setup the Tool with your benchmarking survey questionnaires, invite your members or clients to participate, manage the process, validate the data and let your members or clients create their own individual reports.

By requesting data from participants periodically, you can easily make a periodic comparison and show development of individual participants and, of course, reference groups.

Challenges of conducting a benchmark survey

Challenge 1

Makeshift solutions

Have you ever tried to conduct a benchmarking survey before? What did you do? You created a questionnaire offline in Word or Excel. You sent out this questionnaire to the potential participants. You received the entered forms and you had to transfer it to some database or Excel. What if something was wrong in a specific questionnaire? You contacted the participant and got a new questionnaire. You got lost in the number of versions.

Challenge 2

Online inquiry

You had a special website which gave you some insight in the status of entering data. Online you could download the results to Excel. When you finally had all the data you started analysing. Again, what to do with outliers and changes in data by participants? After the analysis you had to create for each participant an individual report and send it to them. But with a lot of risk of sending a report to the wrong participant.

The solution

Make it easy

We have developed the Benchmarking Tools to help you. Our tools combine online data collection, online analysis and online reporting. Our tools give you the tools to deliver more value to the participants in your studies. Our Benchmarking Tools help you efficiently conduct a benchmark study and complete it successfully.

Guaranteed privacy

"One of the most important aspects of the cooperation is the unburdening. After our annual alignment, almost the entire process is taken out of our hands. From the invitations to the reporting, and that works very pleasantly. As a client, you also notice the enthusiasm with which Compare 2 Compete gets to work on the project. Equally important is the guaranteed privacy of the participants and the quality of the benchmark itself. Here, too, we can rely on years of expertise from the Compare 2 Compete team."
