This interactive web-based tool allows for data interrogation and reporting across a range of different business segments, enabling members to make true financial comparisons with peer organisations in the areas in which they are most interested.

Members can create their own online dashboard of reports by region, peer group, unit size or other criteria.

Vantage have provided substantial insight for Connexus, and this has been used to identify significant efficiency saving opportunities. The thorough approach to identify a specific benchmarking peer group using multifaceted business drivers, has given us a tailored outcome which has provided greater assurance to our Board.
