Last conducted in 2018/2019, IFDA’s Operations & Financial Performance Survey is relaunching to collect new data. This benchmarking program is designed with your busy schedule in mind to require little time and deliver high-value customizable results.
 
BenchmarkingPortalScreenshot2020.pngThe 2020 survey collects the key operations and financial metrics that matter most when evaluating company performance, as well as new metrics to reflect the current pandemic operating environment.
 
The survey focuses on the key operations and financial metrics that matter most when evaluating company performance. We encourage you to participate by completing the 30-45-minute questionnaire by August 7, 2020.
 
Please enter your email address into the survey platform at www.IFDAbenchmarking.com, and the site will prompt you to either enter the password you used to complete the survey in 2018/2019 (click on “forgot my password” if you don’t remember it), or create a new password. You may add additional users if you’re collaborating with team members to complete the survey. We offer several flexible options to submit survey responses:

  • Enter data directly into the online questionnaire.
  • Download and complete a PDF or Excel version of the form.
  • Directly upload your existing data files.

 
If you/your company participated in the 2018/2019 IFDA benchmarking survey, you may access the data submitted at that time in the current survey platform.
 
Once data has been collected and analyzed, the online portal will present your free results in various formats – companies that don’t participate in the survey will not have access to these resources. Reporting options include an interactive infographic, an industry-aggregate report and a company-specific performance report. In addition, there will be a build-your-own report option, a report-card function, and what-if analysis tools.
 
IFDA again engaged Industry Insights to execute the program to keep data confidential and secure - participant information will not be seen by IFDA. Additional guidance on using the online portal is available in our FAQ sheet. For technical and online portal questions, contact Industry Insights’ Matt Chaffin at mchaffin@industryinsights.com.
