KPIs Glossary

KPIs Glossary

General Measures

Average Rate: Revenue / Total Clicks Billed (Clicks from Invoice Period Billed) *** this is Revenue Per Click

Machine Count (Machines In the Field): Number of machines in the field during reporting period.

NPS: Net Promoter Score

VR: Valid Responses for Net Promoter Score

 

Key Services

CSI (Cross Selling Index): Sum of distinct active accounts utilizing services within each Key Service category / Sum of distinct active accounts utilizing at least one Key Service

 

Clicks Distributed Across Contract Coverage Periods

Based on coverage period, not invoice date. For example, if contract coverage is from 15th - 15th each month, then 1/2 clicks in first month and other 1/2 clicks in second month.

Covered Clicks: Number of clicks included in copy allowance

Overage Clicks: Number of clicks exceeded from copy allowance

Underage Clicks: Number or clicks under copy allowance (did not meet minimum copy allowance)

 

Invoiced Clicks:

Clicks per  the period they were invoiced, clicks are not allocated across coverage periods.

BW Base: Number of base clicks billed for BW meter groups

BW Overages: Number of overage clicks billed for BW meter groups

Color Base: Number of base clicks billed for Color meter groups

Color Overages: Number of overage clicks billed for Color meter groups

Actual Meter Color: Number of actual Color clicks run on machines

Total Clicks Billed: Sum of BW and Color Clicks billed on machines

 

 

Actual Clicks Run

Actual clicks produced (per your EA meter readings) for the period listed in your date filter

Actual BW Copies: Number of actual BW clicks ran on machines

Actual Color Copies: Number of actual Color clicks ran on machines

Actual Copies: Number of total actual clicks ran on machines

 

Cost per Copy

CPC: Total Cost / Actual Copies 

CPC Labor: Labor Cost / Actual Copies 

CPC Other: Other Cost / Actual Copies 

CPC Parts: Parts Cost / Actual Copies 

CPC Supplies: Supplies Cost / Actual Copies

**Please note Supplies BW + Supplies Color will NOT equal CPC Supplies.

Example a simplified machine which has (for period reported):

10,000 BW Clicks

15,000 Color Clicks

$250 BW Supplies

$350 Color Supplies

By extension, total clicks is 25,000 and total supply costs is $600  

CPC BW is $250/10,000 or 0.025
CPC Color is $350/15,000 or 0.023
CPC Supplies (both) is $600/25000 or 0.024
If you would like to validate, you can use the [Details] drilldown from that page. You will see the supporting SuppliesCost and ActualClicks for whatever item was highlighted for the drill down.

CPC Supplies BW: Supplies BW Cost / Actual BW Copies

CPC Supplies Color: Supplies Color Cost / Actual Color Copies

**We look at your eAuto coding to determine what you consider BLK and CLR.

For Supply and Parts, we use the Usage Limit Meter Type on the Item Record. If none there or not BLK or CLR, then we look at the Meter Clicks Meter Type Category for that period. If none there, then we look at Lifetime Meter Clicks Meter Type Category. If nothing designated as BLK or CLR, then we don't consider in CPC cost.

For Clicks, Labor, and Other, we use Meter Clicks Meter Type Category for that period. If none there, then we look at Lifetime Meter Clicks Meter Type Category. If nothing designated as BLK or CLR, then we don't consider in CPC cost.
