Business Benchmarking
As a HTA member business, you can benefit from our Member Benchmarking – comparing metrics on sales, profitability, wages and inputs to other businesses similar to yours. This can help you to identify areas of strength, weakness and opportunity to grow or improve.
Benchmarking Topics:
Enter sales (£) at a headline or department level and transaction numbers, and benchmark sales performance, ATVs, sales per m2, catering sales per cover
We also run our Garden Retail Monitor (GRM) system taking data directly from your EPOS system. Find out more.
Enter sales (£ and units) by crop type and market to benchmark sales performance, sales per ha of production area
Benchmark your wages and staff costs, recruitment and retention metrics and workforce makeup
Enter data from your most recent financial accounts and receive and compare a profitability and indebtedness ratios to peers
Enter data on energy use, water use, packaging waste, growing media and plant protection products and benchmark input metrics (inputs per £100k of turnover and ha of production area), and produce more for less.
How can I access the Member Benchmarking platform?
The platform can be accessed here or via the ‘Benchmarking’ button in the top right-hand corner of our website.
By default, our ‘primary contact’ for your business will have access to Member Benchmarking by default, but any number of users can have access – just use the form below to request access.
The first person who logs in from your business will become the Admin user, responsible for managing view/edit permissions of your staff on the platform.
For other users, once you’ve registered for access and logged in for the first time, you will need to ask your Admin to assign you permissions in the ‘Organisation’ area of the platform – your permissions will be blank by default.
