At A-INSIGHTS, we are always working on the improvements of our products. The last quarter we have been working on optimizing The Performance Monitor, to make it an even better tool to work with. Below you can find all the new features we've added to the dashboard, and how to use them.
1. Our Trends & Market section is live!
We have listened to you and enriched your news section with unique content created by A-INSIGHTS to keep you up to date about relevant topics within your industry and economy. Industry content related to:
- Sustainability – Plant-based vs traditional food

You now have two verticals: Industry News and Trends & Reports
2. Insights into Financial Health and Investments for all clients
In times of inflation and shortages it’s important to understand the financial position and expansion plans for your competitors, suppliers and clients. Therefore, we have decided to add insights into financial health and investments for all our customers, available from BASE package on!
- Financial Health – what reserves does my competitors or suppliers have to take a hit given the inflation and price pressure?
- Insight into solvency, quick ratio, equity base and net operational cash flow
- Investments – which of my competitors or suppliers are expanding (ratio > 1)?
- Insight in Net Capital expenditure / Depreciations
Formulas explained
- Operational cashflow = EBIT +Depreciations + Change in Net working capital – Financial Expenses
- Net Capital / Depreciations = ((Tangible Fixed Assets + Intangible Fixed Assets) - (Tangible Fixed Assets [LY] + Intangible Fixed Assets [LY]) + Depreciations) / Depreciations
3. And many more...
- Filtering options on value chain link, product groups and product categories in “benchmarks”
