Hansen Distribution Group Selects AFS Technologies for Business Intelligence and Planning

AFS Technologies announced the signing of Hansen Distribution Group to Discovery Analytics and Discovery Planner, AFS Technologies' premier business intelligence and planning solutions. Hansen Distribution Group, an independent, locally owned broadline distributor, will use Discovery Analytics to help increase sales efficiency and visibility across their organization.

Discovery Analytics is quickly implemented and comprised of comprehensive drill-down capability, intuitive point-and-click navigation, customizable dashboards, dynamic charting, and more. Discovery Analytics helps food and beverage companies optimize profits by offering robust, easy-to-use actionable intelligence that give its users access to the information necessary for making faster, more intelligent decisions. Discovery Planner enables companies to easily plan: sales budgets, P&L plans, forecasts, and more.

Hansen Distribution Group's President Diana Allen said, "We chose AFS Technologies for our business intelligence and planning needs over scores of other software providers because of their ease of use, flexibility in reporting & analytics, speed to data, and truly dedicated customer support. In the past we've used internal ERP reporting and other competitive products, however, none of these have offered us the capabilities our business required like Discovery Analytics and Discovery Planner provide, or the high level of service AFS brings to the table. Said differently, AFS delivers on what they say they will."

"Hansen Distribution Group i a premier, market-leader foodservice distributor. Their demanding business required an internal and field analytics solution that would give them quick access to customer sales and profitability data through an easy business intelligence solution," said Tim Shorter, VP of Foodservice Sales for AFS.

AFS Technologies has long been a leader in business intelligence applications, and Discovery Analytics allows its users to obtain depth and clarity of data unequaled in the marketplace today. The Discovery Analytics solution is one tool within AFS Technologies' complete Profit Optimization Package.
