(CHICAGO) August 13, 2015 – NAMA announced today that its 2015 Operating Ratio Report, Key Indicators for Success, is now available for purchase on www.vending.org.
“NAMA’s Operating Ratio Report provides financial benchmarking and analysis that is unique to our industry and cannot be found anywhere else,” said Chip Potter, NAMA Vice President of Communications and Information Services. “It evaluates critical metrics designed to help our members plan for long-term profit performance and sales growth.”
Analyzing data gathered from participating NAMA member companies, the study provides key insights into exactly how high-profit firms generate better profit numbers. It focuses intently on three profit drivers—growth, gross margin and expenses. The report shares clear evidence as to how small differences in those few areas translate directly into higher levels of profitability.
“It is important for companies to understand that the key, according to this report, is that you don’t have to improve dramatically in all areas to drive profit, but rather “do a little better across the board,’” Potter said.
To purchase a digital copy of the Operating Ratio Report, please visitwww.vending.org/ORR. The cost is $225 for members and $395 for non-members.
