Promotion Optimization Institute Provides AFS Technologies Best-in-Class Distinction for Trade Promotion Capabilities

AFS Technologies (AFS), was recently named a “Best-in-Class Recipient” for its Desktop UX and TPO Ergonomics features by the Promotion Optimization Institute (POI).  

The recently released POI TPx Vendor Panorama 2016 report assessed 24 service providers in how they help consumer goods companies improve trade promotions through the use of enabling technology. POI warned that some vendors with Best-in-Class distinctions have glaring deficiencies in specific areas.  POI remarked, “AFS is among a few vendors that are solid across the entire TPx spectrum.”

Joe Bellini, CEO of AFS Technologies shared, “We are honored to be listed as a best-in-class vendor for our desktop UX and TPO Ergonomics capabilities by POI. AFS made significant investments to enhance the user experience by embedding optimization capabilities directly into AFS TPM Retail Solution enabling users to manage trade planning more efficiently.” 

Bellini added, “Each year AFS gladly participates in the POI Vendor Surveys given their strong tradition as a trusted advisor to the TPx market. By providing easy-to-use, robust solutions that help consumer goods companies, the Best-in-Class designation means our customers are able to efficiently and effectively overcome common challenges associated with achieving profitable trade promotions.”
