Custom Business Indexes
Use proprietary data and insights to accurately translate macroeconomic drivers to your firm’s business performance across multiple industries and geographies.
It can be difficult for companies that operate in, or sell into, multiple industries to track and forecast end-market demand. A Custom Business Index (CBI) designed around your business will provide a consistent framework to benchmark and forecast business performance across your unique business segments and regions.
Our Custom Business Indexes assemble information from across our award-winning forecasts, market-leading scenario modeling frameworks, and well-respected economists and analysts and deliver results that are unique to the products, sectors, and geographies where your firm operates today and in the future. Our custom business indexes enable strategic planners, demand planners, and business leaders who must formulate strategy and execute on initiatives to answer the most fundamental question: what does this mean for you?
