Why Profit Profiler?
It uses YOUR information – not “average values”
It identifies YOUR strengths and opportunities to make improvements
It shows what parts of the business are money makers and which are losers.
You can compare to different groups of dairymen to be sure
You can use the “What If” feature to see the potential impact of making changes before having to spend the initial outlay of cash
