CLOUD SAFETY & SECURITY
High Performance & Low IT Costs

The cloud-hosted version of Software for Hardware uses top-notch technology to back up your data on an online network of servers, giving you remote access to your data, advanced security against cyberattacks, and two types of daily data backups. With SFH Cloud, reduce IT expenses with a low monthly cost and see improved end-user performance vs. an in-house server.
Fast, Remote Performance
We host SFH Cloud using Amazon Web Services, which means you have one of the world’s biggest and most trusted cloud software companies ensuring the infrastructure’s stability.
No Downtime
SFH Cloud runs on Amazon Web Services, which utilizes computer networks far more powerful than a typical door, frame and hardware distributor’s on-premise server. This means you can complete your work smoothly and with zero downtime.
Remote Access
With SFH Cloud, you connect directly to the AWS cloud via Microsoft Remote Desktop Service, which provides lightning-fast connection — anytime, anywhere.
Peace of Mind
Waste less time and money managing IT problems and hassles, and give your staff the easiest and most reliable access to your client jobs and data.


Trusted Data Security
With SFH Cloud, you can sleep better knowing that all your customer and project data is backed up every day and protected from cyberattacks with state-of-the-art technology.
Encrypted Data
Amazon Web Services employs the modern security protocol of cryptographic keys, so you can rest assured knowing all your SFH data is encrypted at rest and in motion.
Non-Invasive Access
The Software for Hardware team operates under the “least rights” best practice to minimize access to your data. People on the server only have the rights needed to do their work, which makes it harder for vectors to attack the server.
Updated Daily
SFH Cloud uses the latest firewall, cyber-security and anti-virus software, implements Microsoft Windows security patches when available, and runs two types of backups daily.

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.

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.

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.”
