The Hardware Industry dot com is committed to assisting manufacturers in the collection and management of critical product evaluation data used to bring new product to market in a timely and cost-effective manner.
The Program
TheHardwareIndustry.com is an innovative, Web-based solution to the industry-wide problem of how a manufacturer can get new products into the hands of the largest number of retailers with a minimum of expense and effort.
Our website allows thousands of participating hardware and home center retailers to review your products and request free samples. In return, the retailers must complete online surveys designed by you to solicit information that is important to your organization.
Our program is simple to use:

Retailers request samples
You ship the samples
Retailers take your survey
We compile the survey data and produce real-time reports
