What is HAWK Spot?
The HAWK Spot community platform is a Members-only, all-in-one digital HQ for everything BLUE HAWK—built to save you time and keep you connected year-round. Instead of searching across multiple places, you’ll find Vendor Partner promos, PrimeTimes, important links, event registrations, and more right at your fingertips. It’s also the place where Members collaborate, network, and share resources with peers who truly understand the HVACR world. With HAWK Spot, everything you need to stay connected and engaged lives in one convenient place.
The best part? You can access it from your phone or your computer—no extra app downloads required, but it’s available if you want it.
CELEBRATING GROWTH
& ENGAGEMENT
The NextLevel Leadership Development program is designed to help Members strengthen essential leadership skills while gaining practical tools to drive success in their businesses. So far this year, we’ve hosted two strong workshops at the Annual Conference and two impactful webinars: Mastering Metrics: Key Financial Insights for Wholesale Distribution Success led by Paul Guidice of CoMetrics, and most recently, Building Trust Through Better Communication with Jason Bader from the Distribution Team. Both sessions sparked great conversations and gave members practical tools they can apply right away. Future webinars are in the works, so keep watching your email and the HAWK Spot for info.
Did you miss the webinars?
Both sessions have been split into easy-to-consume segments and uploaded to the HAWK Spot for you
to view at your own pace. Scan the QR code if you haven’t joined the platform yet to gain access!
We’re also happy to continue recognizing the Members who are actively engaging with the program. Through the NextLevel Recognition Program, participants earn points for joining events such as the Annual Conference, attending webinars, and contributing to conversations in the private NextLevel group within the HAWK Spot. With a yearly goal of 10 points, five Members have already surpassed 10 points, and several others are well on their way to achieving it. Their dedication is a great example of how commitment to growth and connection is driving this program forward.
What is NextLevel?
This program is designed for employees of BLUE HAWK Member companies who are ready to “level up” their careers. It’s a chance to grow industry knowledge, strengthen leadership skills, and connect with a network of future HVACR leaders.
Whether you’re new to leadership or looking to expand your influence, NextLevel offers the tools and support to help you succeed. All motivated employees of BLUE HAWK Member companies are encouraged to join.

Don’t miss out on your
2025 year-end rebates
The Dashboard plays an integral role in your company’s ability to be proactive with inventory purchases and taking ownership over the rebate-earning process. On the site, you can find YTD purchase amounts by Vendor Partners, rebate dividend earnings by program, rebate earning estimates through conversion opportunities, and more!
As the year concludes, remember that your 2025 uploads need to be completed as close to year-end as possible to ensure your company gets the maximum possible Annual Scorecard points and to avoid having to complete the manual Purchasing Survey due in March.

Buy. Sell. Collaborate. Grow. Together on Co-op Swap
Co-op Swap (formerly Fill-It-Now) was created to help BLUE HAWK Members do more with the inventory, relationships, and opportunities already within our cooperative. Whether you’re looking to move excess product, source hard-to-find items, or expand what you can offer customers without expanding your warehouse, Co-op Swap makes it easy to connect as a buyer and/or seller with fellow Members nationwide.
By participating, you gain access to the collective scale of BLUE HAWK — tapping into inventory across categories you may not typically stock, responding faster to customer needs, and keeping business within the cooperative. Sellers can turn idle inventory into revenue, while buyers can quickly find products that help close sales and strengthen customer relationships.
Most importantly, Co-op Swap is about collaboration. It supports Member-to-Member partnerships, encourages resource sharing, and helps all of us serve customers better while growing together.
If you haven’t explored Co-op Swap yet, now is the time to jump in, list inventory, search for opportunities, and be part of a stronger, more connected cooperative.
WHAT TO DO NOW:
- Bookmark: Co-opSwap.coop for all inventory sharing activity.
- Stop using Fill It Now: Unless you’re a dual IMARK member, FillItNow.com is no longer accessible.
- Current Users – No setup required: Your stores, offers, users, and credentials migrated to Co-op Swap automatically; your usernames/passwords from Fill It Now will continue to work on Co-op Swap.

2025 FALL ADVISORY FORUM RECAP
BLUE HAWK Members and Partners took over the iconic Greenbrier Resort in White Sulphur Springs, WV, October 27–29 for this year’s Fall Advisory Forum. It was three days packed with great conversations, fresh ideas, and plenty of good vibes.
With bold décor, mountain views, and a healthy dose of Southern hospitality, the setting made it easy for everyone to connect. Attendees jumped into productive face-to-face meetings, shared what’s working in their businesses, and talked about how they’ll team up for future success. And when it was time to unwind, the group enjoyed fly fishing, sporting clays, RZR driving, and golf — equaling a lot of valuable networking.
“The Fall Forum has always been about strengthening the core of our cooperative,” said CEO Lance Rantala. “This more relaxed environment really helps spark the momentum we carry into the new year.”
Even the weather cooperated—mostly—waiting until the final golf group wrapped up before the rain arrived.
A huge thank-you to our event sponsor, Nidec/U.S. Motors, for helping make the forum both meaningful and memorable. With fresh momentum and stronger connections, BLUE HAWK is ready for an incredible year ahead.

Riding the wave.
Well, 2025 is shaping up to be no stellar year, but a few positive highlights are worth noting.
With manufacturer prices up, in part driven by the A2L transition, we see contractors buying less efficient units, and the market appears to be transitioning from a replace to a repair market. This can be a good thing for BLUE HAWK members, and we see some positive signs in the data. Specifically, BLUE HAWK members:
- Outpaced publicly traded competitors with Top Performers growing by 10% over the last four quarters (median sales growth was 4.5%). Watsco experienced a 1% decline over the past 12 months, and Ferguson grew sales by 4.9%.
- Eked out some margin improvement, growing gross margin by a half a point, from a median of 26.1% for the same period last year vs. 26.6% for the past four quarters.
- Controlled expenses and grew profitability. The median EBITDA margin ticked up to 6.2% during the past four quarters.
And we’d be remiss not to point out the record-breaking inventory levels. We closed out the third quarter at a new Q3 record of 136 days.
I look forward to connecting with you for more information on Benchmark BLUE.

We have used BenchmarkBLUE/ CoMetrics for many years, and we’ve found Paul and his team to be incredibly valuable partners in analyzing our financial data. Once you provide your confidential information, you—and anyone on your leadership team—can reach out to CoMetrics for analysis, feedback, and actionable insights to help improve your performance relative to peers.
We use it to set margin goals, guide our team’s performance expectations, and establish year-end bonus metrics. Keeping these KPIs front and center has helped strengthen our financial position.
Give them a try—you won’t be disappointed.”

MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
D&L Parts Company
Headquarters: We are headquartered in Charlotte, NC, and have 27 additional locations across the Carolinas as well as Virginia
Joined BLUE HAWK: 2023
President & CEO: Rachel Nystrom, who is also a newly elected member of the BLUE HAWK Board of Directors
Brag Bit:
D&L Parts has been a family-owned business since 1955!
Why did you decide to join BLUE HAWK?
We joined BLUE HAWK for the powerful combination of networking, education, and product rebates. The cooperative gives us better buying power, valuable training, and the chance to connect with distributors and manufacturers who openly share ideas and support each other. It’s an incredibly collaborative environment that helps us grow and stay competitive.
Do you have a favorite BLUE HAWK event?
The Annual Conference is a great time every year. I always go back to the office reenergized and full of new contacts and ideas.
Co-op Principle #7 is Concern For Community: How does D&L Parts give back to your local communities?
We prefer not to focus on a single organization or group when donating, but rather we regularly support multiple programs and organizations within our regional footprint, particularly those related to Veterans and the trades. Additionally, we never hesitate to come together in times of crisis for donations and assistance for employees and the many communities D&L calls home.
2025 VENDOR PARTNER SCORECARD RESULTS
The 2025 Vendor Partner Scorecard rankings have been finalized and the results are in. Below are the Top 10 Vendor Partners in categories including Overall Satisfaction as well as Order Fulfillment, Sales and Rep. Support, Rebates and Incentives, and more.
Our Members rank participating Vendor Partners on a scale of 1 – 10 for various metrics. These scores are aggregated, and all individual responses remain anonymous, ensuring Members can provide candid feedback. New this year, we have introduced a Cooperative Engagement Evaluation, which reflects a company’s level of participation in select, mission-critical BLUE HAWK initiatives.
Eighty-three Vendor Partners chose to participate in the 2025 VP Scorecard, and our Members provided feedback on more than 3,800 relationships with those Vendor Partners.
One survey question asks each Member to rate their Vendor Partner relationship relative to other suppliers in that product category. We’re happy to report that 79.5% of the Vendor Partner relationships were given an approval rating of 80% or higher – which is up from 76% in 2024.

Training That Fits the Trades (& Your Schedule)
Training is tough to keep up with in the trades. Distributors, manufacturers, retailers, and contractors all face the same problem: building a solid employee training program takes time and money—and the payoff isn’t always immediate. When things get busy (or uncertain), training is often the first thing to slide.
And let’s be real: creating great training content you can reuse for every new hire takes real effort—two things most teams don’t have extra of.
That’s why BLUE HAWK University (BHU) exists!
BHU is included at no cost with your membership and gives you bite-sized, interactive product training that’s easy to access and actually engaging to complete. Even better, you can build custom training tracks so your team gets the right knowledge at the right time—whether they’re brand new or seasoned pros.
When your team understands our Vendor Partners’ products and the “why” behind them, it becomes easier to explain the value to customers—and sell with confidence.
With BHU, your team can:
- Learn at their own pace
- Earn rewards
- Pick up smart, effective ways to sell BH Vendor Partner products
Questions or need help getting rolling?
Reach out to Michelle Phillips at bhu@bluehawkcooperative.com.
VENDOR PARTNERS: Want to add or expand training content?
To launch new courses or grow what you offer in BHU, contact BlueVolt’s Partner Success Team at PartnerSuccess@bluevolt.com.

REBATE STATEMENTS & DIVIDEND PAYMENTS
The October (M10) 2025 Member Statement includes Guaranteed Rebates, Prior Year (PY) Adjustments, and PrimeTime Promotion rebates reported in October. Your Member Statement is posted to the Online Community for your review.
Only Members set up for Automated Clearing House (ACH) will receive monthly patronage dividends. If your company is set up for ACH payments, a payment corresponding to the M10 Member Statement was deposited into your bank account.
Monthly patronage dividends are paid around 45 days after the close of the month, except in December. BLUE HAWK closes out the calendar year and conducts a third-party financial audit in early March. The December (M12) 2025 patronage dividends will be sent mid- to late-March 2026.
To receive patronage dividends monthly, members must sign up for Automated Clearing House (ACH) payments. If you’d like to make the transition, contact Scott Meredith and he will assist with the sign-up process.
CO-OP CONNECTIONS
Visits, meetings, and celebrations of and with our incredible Members are a highlight for the BLUE HAWK staff. Sharing ideas, learning about your goals, and strengthening our co-op connections in this way are all signs that, together, we are on the path to achieve greatness.
DO YOU HAVE NEWS TO SHARE?
We love celebrating the successes of our co-op members. If you have exciting news—whether it’s a business achievement, community project, special event, or employee milestone—let us know so we can celebrate together!
