60 AFS Technologies Testimonials

“We have a unique product with a solid following, but we don’t necessarily have the same resources as other CG companies. We decided to explore a technology solution that could help us manage trade promotions in a smarter and more targeted way.”

“Tech Support is very high with explaining and response time. I would be willing to be a reference to other clients that may have questions regarding Account Review 7 which is the platform that we are on.”

“Bon Appetit has developed a great partnership with AFS Technologies and their dedication with supporting our business needs. They have done a great job rolling out our projects to completion, as well as ongoing support. Projects include implementing Order Entry, DSD Mobile Software, and EDI810/EDI850. Their staff is wonderful to work with and always a pleasure to talk to. Thank you, AFS.”

“Many years ago in the old country, one’s ambition and destiny was one’s family trade, the family trade that kept the family alive and a town flourishing. Call it nostalgic or old fashioned, we love that side of our history. We love what we do.”

”Pushed by diverse forces such as technological innovations, changing market conditions, and old hardware, we needed to conduct a thorough due diligence process to ensure we selected the best solutions for our needs. We are convinced that AFS Retail Execution was the right fit for us since the people over at AFS know the beverage industry and have a robust solution which supported our long-term strategy.”

“I look forward to the fruitful cooperation and we are excited about the new AFS Retail Execution solution as it has brought us amazing new possibilities and business development opportunities.”

“We haven’t really reviewed customers by segments before in terms of core decorating. It’s not much more work, in terms of forecasting; that’s the part of it that is new. It’s a lot quicker to take the forecast temperature. Overall, it is a massive step forward from where we were.”

“It has enabled us to see spend more effectively as it highlighted spend that before was hidden and it turned out was higher then what we first thought. With insights into our data, we can see the impact of changes quickly. It helps us collaborate more effectively with retailers, we can put promotions in and see what is going against it. It has helped the claims reconciliation process and that is a net positive.”

“We have been able to reduce our compliment of business managers from six to five and assign larger portfolios to our team (that’s a $65,000+ savings in salary alone).”

“AdvancePierre has removed inefficient trade spending and has reinvested those dollars into the business for long term growth. The AFS TPM Retail has been a huge contributor to those gains. And, on a personal note, the AFS Technologies solution has enabled me to be true to my word.”

“By improving our delivery service operations, we can better serve our customers, maximize our resources and save the company valuable time and money. Our strategic partnership with AFS is essential to our company growth and expansion and we couldn’t be more impressed with the impact it’s made on our business.”

“For a successful implementation, there must be senior executive sponsorship—the CEO, the CFO or the VP of Sales—that’s driving the need for the system.”

The project has already delivered greater brand awareness, greater visibility and greater demand. It has also meant that we can immediately fulfill that demand.”

“Either way, you need a technology platform that delivers immediate visibility into that critical trade promotion data. Getting our insight from a static spreadsheet several weeks down the road was crippling our ability to drive trade efficiency in both our sales and finance operations.”

“With handheld devices, driver stops are downloaded and available so the driver can bring up a customer’s order, make adjustments if needed and give the customer a clean invoice for accurate payment. This reduces manual calculation errors. It speeds up the whole billing process.”
