Vanvora

Score your operations against your own industry.

Six questions, written for your sector rather than in general. You get a score out of 18, your weakest areas in priority order, and a specific recommendation for each. It takes about four minutes and needs no sign-up.

What the 6 questions measure

Each dimension is scored from nought to three on the same ladder, so the areas are directly comparable. That comparability is the point: it tells you which one to fix first.

  1. 01

    One record

    Whether the thing your business revolves around has a single home.

  2. 02

    Chasing and follow-up

    Whether the reminders that protect your revenue depend on a person remembering.

  3. 03

    What your clients can see

    Whether people have to contact you to find out where things stand.

  4. 04

    Knowing your numbers

    Whether answering a routine question about the business takes an afternoon.

  5. 05

    Tools talking to each other

    Whether the same information gets entered more than once.

  6. 06

    If a key person is away

    Whether your process lives in the software or in somebody's head.

There is no benchmark comparison anywhere in this tool, because we do not have credible data on what a typical business in your sector scores and we are not going to invent it. The score is a mirror, not a league table.
