PHOENIX - July 11, 2018 - TelAve -- AFS Technologies, a leading global provider of software solutions purpose-built for consumer goods companies, is proud to announce that its warehouse management software for food distribution companies, AFS WMS, has been recognized by Gartner in its 2018 Midmarket Context: 'Magic Quadrant for Warehouse Management Systems'.

The WMS market is mature, but differentiation remains in usability, adaptability, intelligence and how well solutions orchestrate end-to-end logistics processes. Supply chain and IT leaders in midsize enterprises can use this Gartner Magic Quadrant research of Notable Vendors to understand the midsize-enterprise-focused WMS market.

When it comes to broad line food distribution systems, AFS continues to rise above the competition and deliver purpose-built solutions that are second to none. "Our area of expertise is in the distributor segment, which is vastly different from top to bottom from manufacturer operations," notes Fran Rifkin, PM for AFSWMS, "Within distribution there are significant differences in sub-segments such as foodservice (chain vs street – full line and broad line), wholesale grocery (retail, C Store), Specialty (various gourmet) and processors (meat, poultry, seafood, produce). Each of these sub-segments has significant differences in the product mix, size of orders, packaging, re-packaging, vendor relations, etc. Of course, they are only compounded by industry differences such as perishability and rotational concerns, food safety initiatives, GS1 compliance. This is merely a small list of industry specific concerns that a WMS that serves the distributor segment needs to address." Access the guide at http://wms.afsi.com

Most midsize companies don't need advanced functionalities that raise the total-cost-of-ownership and lengthen the implementation and go-live timeframe, they need core, purpose-built functionalities in systems designed to make their lives easier.
