Secure and Structured

1. Standard Configuration

In the standard configuration we install Software for Hardware on each of your employee’s computers with access to a central database stored on your local office server.

2. Remote Configuration

In the remote configuration, we install Software for Hardware onto your local office server which employees access remotely via Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection. Remote configuration removes the need for multiple installations and allows for branch office access. Hence, staff in various locations can simultaneously access and share data while using the application. You can work from home or any location with internet access.

3. Cloud-Hosted Configuration

In the cloud hosted configuration, Software for Hardware provides the server for you. Like the remote configuration, you can run Software for Hardware from any place that has internet access. But, unlike standard or remote configuration, Cloud Hosted eliminates the need to own and operate your own server. Your SFH application and database are hosted by Software for Hardware in our AWS Web Services Cloud which you access via Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection. Your data remains safe and secure in an environment with automated backup, disaster recovery and security protection.

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.

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.”
