• Sales Benchmarks
• Expense Benchmarks

The Aveda recommended benchmarks are pre-loaded into the Benchmark field (red). It has the ability to edit the benchmarks and they will be saved until they are edited again.

Aveda Benchmarks provides an overview of Today, Month-to-Date and Year-to-Date measurements. This tool is designed to encourage the discipline of monitoring these numbers daily.

There are 3 views available:
• Entire Location (all staff)
• Staff Category
• Single Staff Member

The Aveda Benchmark Report enables the salon owner to select a specified date range for the report.

Expense Benchmarks
Since expense numbers are not stored in SalonBiz®/SpaBiz®, they need to be manually entered into a separate screen. These expenses are then stored and kept as a running total for the calendar year. This information is used to calculate the Current Year-to-Date dollar amount and percentage for the Aveda Benchmarks.

AVEDA Benchmark Report
The Aveda Benchmark report is a great coaching tool. It groups the service providers by their service category and generates a total for the entire staff category. The three main areas of the report make it easy to understand Productivity, Retention and Key Measurements. Since retention is calculated from a previous period, the report will automatically calculate the previous retention period. If the report is generated for a date range that includes the last day of the month, the report will automatically take that as the last day of the previous month and calculate the retention of clients who experienced a service 120 days prior.

For a detail of the calculations on this report, please view the Aveda Vital Signs reports.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to choose my benchmarks?
No. The Aveda recommended key business measurements are designed into the system. Aveda’s recommendations are pre-loaded into the benchmark field of the screen in red. The benchmarks are all stored until they are edited. Once edited, the new benchmark is stored.

Where did the calculations come from?
All of the calculations are provided by Aveda and are part of the Aveda Business College curriculum.

What is the difference between Benchmarks and Vital Signs?
The Aveda Vital Signs Reports are the detailed reports that support the Aveda benchmarks module.

Can every salon use the benchmarks?
No. This tool is designed for Aveda salons.

How much does it cost?
There is no additional charge for this tool. The Aveda Benchmarks Module along with unlimited technical support and training are included in your SalonBiz®/SpaBiz® subscription.

Why does the expense area disappear in the staff category and single staff views?
The expense area is not displayed in the staff category and the single staff views because the expenses relate to the entire location, not individual staff.
