What is Site Benchmarking in SafetyCulture?

Site Benchmarking helps you understand how sites across your organization are performing. You set the benchmarking criteria using the metrics that matter to your team, such as inspection count, completion rates, average scores, or action count. Each site is then automatically rated on a 5-star scale, so you can identify which sites are doing well and which need a closer look.

AI-generated insights highlight what's driving each site's rating, helping you spot trends, recognize strong performers, and focus improvement efforts where they're needed.

Your organization needs at least 3 sites, each with 1 or more inspections completed in the last 9 weeks, to view AI-generated insights for Site Benchmarking.

Add sites to your organization

Start by adding the sites to your organization. Site Benchmarking only monitors sites already in your organization, and rates each one individually.

Add a site via the web app.

Configure criteria

Configure benchmarking criteria based on the metrics that matter to your organization. You can adjust the weight for each criterion to control how much it counts toward a site's overall star rating, so the most important metrics have the biggest impact. Applying the same criteria across all sites helps ensure consistent measurement and makes it easier to compare results across your organization.

Configure details to create a new criterion.

Upload data

Upload relevant files to provide additional context for AI-generated insights. The more relevant data you provide, the more detailed and reliable the insights. You can also use the Data Strength indicator to understand how much your uploaded data is contributing to the insights.

Select files to upload data in Site Benchmarking.

Choose your industry

In organization settings, select the industry that best represents your organization. The industry you select determines which criteria labels you can use when you create a criterion in Site Benchmarking
