ABOUT THE SURVEY
HARDI's Annual Benchmarking Survey (ABS) is a comprehensive report listing over 50 of the most essential metrics of overall distributor performance. ABS allows participants to compare their results to the typical and top-performing distributors in categories that allow them to benchmark their business against vital financial, inventory, customer, and sales metrics.
Operational improvement is a constant objective at all quality distributors. In this industry where operational inefficiencies mean a lot, ABS helps distributors discover performance gaps, identify opportunities within their organization, optimize workflows, and drive data-driven growth to achieve goals.
After completing the survey, participating members will have access to a confidential report comparing their operating performance to the median results and high-performing members across an extensive array of performance metrics.
The Annual Benchmarking Survey's final report is free for participating distributors.
