HBX App - for Hudson Barter Exchange members. This mobile app is for all on-the-go activities of HBX members. Hudson Barter Exchange connects companies all over the Hudson Valley and around the world by tapping them into the vast barter economy. We help our members turn their empty seats, open appointment slots, and excess inventory into usable assets. We bring incremental business to companies that use their trade dollars to pay for things they were previously paying cash for. Some businesses use us for business expenses by trading for web development, SEO, advertising, office cleaning, accounting, car service and so much more. Some business owners use us for their own personal needs like summer camps, tutoring for their kids, Yankee tickets, house painting or vacations. All of these incremental customers then act as your word-of-mouth referral source to bring you new cash customers as well. HBX acts as a third-party record keeper so that you always earn what is due you and don't ever have to barter directly with any member. HBX acts as your sales agent to get you incremental business and as your concierge to help you put your barter dollars to good use. This mobile app is free to HBX members.
