About the DSC Survey & Report:

The MHEDA DSC (Distributor Statistical Comparison) Report is an annual financial benchmarking study that independently and confidentially analyzes financial data from MHEDA distributor and integrator members to provide key insights into how high-profit firms generate better profit numbers. It focuses intently on the key profit drivers – growth, gross margin, expenses, inventory turnover and accounts receivable collections. Survey participants receive a customizable, interactive dashboard for financial benchmarking. Learn more at www.mheda.org/dsc-survey.
