eContrack Benchmark is a web based benchmarking and performance management system which provides all the tools necessary to create and manage a shared performance measurement database. The shared database can be used to compare performance within an organisation, up and down a supply chain, across a peer group or in any combination of these possible applications.

Scoring Performance

Performance data is captured using Scorecards, which are generated from Templates. Users can define their own Templates (without need for software changes) and each template comprises one or more performance measures. Standard Templates are available.

Scorecards are recorded against Companies (these can be Divisions or Business Units of a single Organisation), Scorecards can also be linked to contacts (at the company), Projects (in which the company is involved) and packages (of a project in which the company is involved).

The system uses data capture wizards to simplify the entry of data. Using the wizard the user is stepped through each of the measures in the scorecard in turn, entering their scores or the raw performance data the system requires to calculate their performance scores using user defined formulae. The system also allows the user to enter comments against each measure as it is scored.

The system allows users to create scorecards for others to complete, it automatically generates emails to prompt Scorecard completion and issues email reminders if scores are not submitted. Individuals without authorised access to the system can be asked to complete scorecards as a guest member (e.g. Customers, Councillors, Residents, Staff or the general public).

Defining Performance Measures

Users (system administrators) can define their own performance measures using wizards, including adding performance measures to Industry and Club templates. Each measure has its own user defined target score, weighting and expected performance range as appropriate. The system supports different types of performance measure in the same template including Multiple choice questions and answers, Formula derived scores and, Percentage and Number scores. Scores for all measure types can be expressed in percentage terms for ease of comparison.

Graphing and Reporting

The system includes a report library for standard user defined reporting. Report criteria specified and saved to the library using wizards. Saved reports can be re-run on request and the report criteria of saved reports can be edited prior to re-running the reports. All graphical output can be easily customised and the system includes facilities to output performance data to Excel. Users can produce reports using their own data and the Club averages, highs and lows, system administrators can report on all data in the system.
