  3. What is it? • primenumbers.co.uk enables Feed Manufacturers and merchants to compare: • Buying performance (incl forward cover) • Feed Margins • Feed Production Costs • Transport Costings & Productivity • On a confidential basis • Via the Internet • Showing “you” vs sector Average, Max & Min • Plus League tables

  4. Who’s it for? • Any UK Feed Business can register as a Member • All applications for Membership are “authorised” by PMS • Once authorised, you will have a unique Username and Password • These are used to ensure secure access to results and data submission • Results are only available to those providing data

  5. How does it work? • You can input data for any scheme for which you are “authorised” • This could be just for Buying & Margins • OR .. Transport • OR .. Feed Production Costs • OR .. Any combination you want • The registration process allows you to choose whatever is appropriate for your own business

  6. How? continued • Next you you can add • Additional “users” in your company and give them appropriate Data Submission and/or Viewing rights • Locations • For example you may wish to put in productions costs for more than 1 mill or you could have a number of transport depots/divisions • Each user can have View/Submit rights for specified scheme and location combinations

  7. How? continued • If you are submitting data then you need a special “Plug-in” to enable you to see forms and fill them in • You will see where to get these from on the website • Then load the appropriate form from the web & fill it in • Don’t forget to print it off • Hit the “submit” button and “send for review” • This sends an email to PMS saying you have sent some data • We will do a few checks on your submission • We may ask you to review any possible anomalies • If so, you can recall your original submission off the web and amend it

  8. How? continued • Otherwise we will “publish” the submission and it will go into the main database • Usually we will do this in batches • Then, when there are enough participants you will be alerted by email and be able to look at the results • When looking at results you can apply various “filters” and get insights into any sub-sets you choose

  9. How? continued • To see anything, there must be at least 5 participants (Holding Companies) contributing to the chosen/filtered dataset • For any specific data cell, there have to be at least 3 “answers” • If not, the results are suppressed

  10. Data Input • Here are some example screenshots of how you enter data

  11. Press the “Tab” key to go to the next cell when filling data

  12. If the form is more than 1 page, this is where you go to “Next page” Here you can Save the file This is the Submit button This is the Print button
