HARDI has launched its newest initiative: the Proven Vendor Program. The program is designed to provide HARDI members with a peer-reviewed listing of HARDI Service Vendors that have established track records of good business with other HARDI members.

Service Vendors are HARDI members that provide professional services, such as consultation, software and other business solutions, to other HARDI members.

Each proven vendor gets a listing within a members-only section of hardinet.org. The listing provides a brief description of the company’s services, a member reference and a description of any special offers available to HARDI members.

“The key to the program is the member reference,” said HARDI Marketing Manager Chris DeBoer. “The only way to get that is by providing a positive experience for your customers. People can trust it because nobody can buy their way in; they have to earn it.”

HARDI’s Service Vendor members are able to take part in the program at no charge and simply need to provide a brief description of their business, a HARDI wholesaler or manufacturer member reference and a listing of any special offers for HARDI members.

The new program currently has 12 companies:

• CardConnect
• Coolfront by Profit Strategies, Inc.
• FTL Finance
• J & M Industries, Inc.
• KDL
• MITS
• Moblico Solutions LLC
• On Hold Marketing
• Schmitt ProfiTools Inc.
• TMG Gases Inc.
• Towsleys Inc.
• Thermostat Recycling Corporation
