Success Story: Hardec's Wholesale Distributors

Success Story: Hardec's Wholesale Distributors

Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, Hardec’s Wholesale Distributors is a family-owned business with nearly 70 years of industry experience. Specializing in the distribution of concessions, convenience, grocery, and general merchandise, Hardec’s serves a diverse customer base across a wide regional footprint.

As business grew each year, Hardec’s began to experience the strain that often accompanies manual, paper-based payment processing. Their accounts receivable (A/R) team was spending significant time handling incoming checks and ACH transactions—tasks that required multiple touchpoints, frequent trips to the bank, and labor-intensive reconciliation efforts.

“As recent as 2020, only about 10% of our customers were paying via EFT/ACH. The rest relied on checks and cash, creating delays, errors, and headaches for our drivers and accounting team,” said Ross Haynes, VP & General Manager, Hardec’s. “Our controller told me we simply didn’t have the staff to handle more ACH payments—and then, we discovered FTNI."
