For a limited time, we are offering MEP Center Field Agents a free trial of PBS. Get up to three (3) reports at no charge simply by downloading the appropriate questionnaire for your customer or prospect, and sending it in. We have built and annually update a detailed database focused on the MEP sweet spot – manufacturers with 10 – 300 employees. Click to view a copy of our latest dataset.

We work with many industry trade associations to keep our reports accurate and timely, allowing us to repopulate the dataset with up-to-date, industry-specific data. For data comparison purposes, we only include records for the most recent 24 months. Our Industrial Facilities questionnaire is our base questionnaire, applicable to any industry. It allows us to calculate over 50 metrics for manufacturing performance and practices. A sample report, comparing a roll-former against other metal forming companies with at least 75% repeating, build-to-order jobs can be viewed here.

To the extent that the number of active records allows, we can pick a custom comparison group based on any criteria for which we have data: industry, size, order volume, companies that design all of their own products, companies with >10% defense orders, etc.

If, as we hope, you will want to do more than three reports, we offer generous volume discounts to MEP centers:

• Pre-pay for 6 reports and get 33% off our $595 "retail" price, so each report costs just $395. You have 6 months to use your 6 pre-paid reports.
• Pre-pay for 10 reports and get 50% off, so each report costs just $295. You have a year (12 months) to use your 10.
• Pre-pay for 20 reports and get 67% off, so each report is just $195. You get two years (24 months) to use your 20.

We have spent 15 years collecting and cleaning data needed to support the metrics that manufacturers tell us they want. Over the years, hundreds of MEP sales and delivery staff -- along with dozens of private consultants -- have found our reports useful in assessing strengths and weaknesses. We hope you will as well.
