AFS Technologies

Driving value through purpose-built solutions for food

The consumer goods industry is constantly changing, creating new challenges and opportunities for manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. Consumer goods organizations need to rigorously manage all routes to market and channels to ensure adequate visibility and control over challenges such as rising materials cost, shortage of high-quality labor, and higher volatility in the marketplace. While the challenges vary depending on the size, maturity, and geography of the organization, certain concepts remain true for all. Manufacturers and distributors are finding significant improvement opportunities through optimizing all aspects of sales and distribution using technology that provides smarter, integrated decision making that requires less effort and improves response time.
