New relationship creates largest business and agricultural benchmarking database in the country

7 April 2005

For the first time in NZ there is a single source of accurate benchmarking data for both general business and the agricultural sector – now whether you’re an orthodontist, own a deer venture or a dairy farm you can find out how you compare to your peers and what areas you can improve in your business.

“We have spent the last three years establishing the largest and most accurate business benchmarking database in the country,” says Mike Chisholm, CEO of Acclipse Ltd.

“With Acclipse BenchmarkIT we have provided accounting firms a quick and easy way to produce accurate and informative benchmark reports for their business clients, while at the same time securely updating the central benchmarking database.”

“Now, by working with Red Sky Agricultural, clearly the leading experts in farm performance analysis, we can extend this service to the agricultural industry.”

“Red Sky Farm Performance Analysis collects all financial information from farmers and presents it in a format that benchmarks each farmer against a national database,” says Managing Director of Red Sky, David Beca.

“By working with Acclipse to integrate Red Sky with their BenchmarkIT product we can now broaden the number of agricultural businesses participating – and importantly, we can make the process quicker and easier!”

The integration of Red Sky and Acclipse BenchmarkIT is being rolled out in two stages, with the first stage to be released later this week.
