Annual Benchmarking Survey


HARDI is excited to share the Distributor Performance Dashboard will be rebranded to the Annual Benchmarking Survey (ABS). While the report and input process itself will not change, the rebrand aims to better represent what the report is; a comprehensive listing of over 50 of the most essential metrics of overall distributor performance. ABS allows participants to view their historical-performance data relative to typical and top performance 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.
