While AD has recognized member distributors and their suppliers (manufacturers) with awards for decades, it has never recognized a service provider with recognition at its annual meeting until this year.
“Congratulations to Rivet | MRO, on winning our inaugural AD Service Provider Excellence Award at the AD Industrial and Safety Division North American Meeting this week in Chicago! Congrats also goes out to our 2 runners-up, Profit2 and Propelr,” said Kevin Druecker, vice presiden of AD member programs.
“This award recognizes AD Service Providers who go above and beyond, demonstrating thought-leadership in their field and a strong commitment to the AD community, while complying with program expectations and having strong member utilization.”
Druecker said that the award winner was determined by objective scoring on a matrix that included member feedback, AD engagement and thought leadership, among other criteria. Rivet scored 4.9 out of 5 on its Service Provider Scorecard to secure the win. AD currently has more than 40 approved service providers.
“We want to extend a profound ‘thank you!” to the entire AD community for this honor--and for all your support and encouragement over the years. We were simultaneously thrilled and humbled by this!” said Tim Rasmussen, founder of Rivet|MRO.
