Joe Broders, Sales Manager
Steve Broders Company
We looked at several options and determined that Software for Hardware was the best fit for Broders… Other companies touted their grey-haired staff but I also wanted a software vendor with young energy, motivation and new technology to support my business… Software for Hardware understands the small to midsize distributor and their price fit our budget.
Mark Dement, Owner
Stars & Stripes Doors and Specialty
I chose Software for Hardware also because of the company and the people. Starting a new business is not easy, many vendors don’t want to spend the time with small companies or startups. Lisa and Cheryl were terrific getting us quickly up and running.

To say Software for Hardware has been a game changer would be quite the understatement. We have seen not only a massive efficiency increase, but our success and close rates are improving as well.
Michael A. Knowles, President
Tal-Kno Building Products, Inc.
Our sales staff is now able to quote jobs three times faster than we did four years ago. The submittal process time has been greatly reduced as well. The shop fabrication reports generated from the contract job module have improved the overall performance of our shop. These reports have helped to reduce errors in coordination as well. I would urge any frame, door, and hardware distributor to try this software package. Once you see the benefits this software can provide, your company will become more efficient and profitable.”
