Hansen Distribution Group Selects AFS Technologies

HAWAII (August 11, 2011)—AFS Technologies announced the signing of foodservice distributor Hansen Distribution Group to Discovery Analytics and Discovery Planner, AFS Technologies’ business intelligence and planning systems. Hansen plans to use Discovery Analytics to increase sales efficiency and visibility across its organization.

Efficient to implement, Discovery Analytics sports user-friendly navigation and search functions, customizable dashboards, and dynamic charting. It helps food and beverage companies by offering thorough, easy-to-use feedback, giving users access to the information necessary for faster, more intelligent decisions. Discovery Planner's goal is to enable companies to easily plan sales budgets, profit and loss plans, and forecasts.

Discovery Analytics is one tool within AFS Technologies’ complete Profit Optimization Package.
