Introducing HARDI's Annual Benchmarking Survey (ABS)

April 10, 2024 | 1 minute read

HARDI's rebranded Annual Benchmarking Survey (ABS), formerly known as the Distributor Performance Dashboard, is a comprehensive listing of over 50 of the most essential metrics of distributor performance. The ABS final report allows participants to view their historical-performance data relative to typical and top performance in categories. This gives them the information they need 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.
