Profectus, Inc., a leading provider of consulting and software solutions for the printing and packaging industry, announced a major new release of Print Business Advisor, the industry's AI-powered financial and operational analysis and benchmarking platform.
Built on the over 100-year legacy of the Printing Industries of America (PIA) Financial Ratio Studies, the latest release expands the platform's AI capabilities, operational KPIs, benchmarking resources, dashboards, and management reporting tools.
The enhanced release includes expanded AI-generated analysis, more financial and operational KPIs, improved dashboards and graphics, more benchmarking participants, and a more comprehensive approach to evaluating overall business performance.
"Printing and packaging companies generate enormous amounts of financial and operational data every day," said Craig L. Press, President of Profectus, Inc. "The challenge is not collecting the information; it's turning that information into meaningful management insight. Financial statements, payroll data, CRM systems, MIS reports, and industry benchmarks each provide valuable information, but the greatest value comes from understanding what they collectively reveal about business performance."
Unlike traditional industry benchmarking studies and financial consulting projects that often require lengthy surveys, complex spreadsheets, static reports, expensive consultants, and months waiting for results, Print Business Advisor requires only minimal data entry to analyze a company's financial and operational data and deliver comprehensive benchmarking, performance analysis, and AI-generated management insights in seconds.
The platform now provides analysis and benchmarking across more than 100 financial and operational KPIs, benchmarks, ratios, and performance measurements, including:
- Income Statements & Profitability
- Balance Sheets, Liquidity & Cash Flow
- Employees, Labor Efficiency & Training
- Sales & Marketing Performance
- Estimates, Orders & Operations
- Productivity, Inventory & Waste
- Equipment & Technology Investments
- Industry Benchmarking & Multi-Year Trends
- And Much More
The expanded benchmark database includes more participating companies, providing stronger peer-group comparisons and more meaningful benchmarks. Users can compare performance against hundreds of industry peers and profit leaders based on sales volume, market segment, region, company type, and other operating characteristics.
Using advanced analytics and AI-generated insights, Print Business Advisor helps identify opportunities to improve profitability, labor efficiency, pricing, cash flow, operational performance, and overall business results.
Print Business Advisor modernizes traditional industry benchmarking through cloud-based reporting, expanded KPIs, graphical dashboards, multi-year trend analysis, and AI-powered management intelligence. It is the only financial and operational analysis and benchmarking platform built on the legacy of the PIA Financial Ratio Studies.
