Guaranteed Total Cost of Ownership: AFS Technologies

"AFS Technologies provides software solutions for the food and beverage industry that are guaranteed to improve the bottom line. We are unique in that we are the only organization who can guarantee the total cost of ownership and improved profitability. We achieve this through a channel intimacy and by being the technology leader."

The initial cost of acquiring the software and hardware
The cost of professional services to install and connect the software to the rest of the enterprise and external trading partners
The annual cost of maintaining the software and hardware on an ongoing basis
The cost of technology upgrades during the typical 5 to 7 year technology obsolescence cycle
Continued improvement to company performance on a regular cycle.

AFS offers a unique concept of not only providing accurate and predictable costs for the life cycle of the product, AFS guarantees this cost. "We bought the AFS ERP system in April, 2000 and we have been a customer on this product since then and their total cost of ownership has been accurate and predictable. AFS has upgraded the software from legacy character based product to a current .NET SOA based product and we are getting the new modules to upgrade our system as part of maintenance. This not only saves us cost in terms of technology upgrades, it also allows us to upgrade one module at a time without going through a complete system upgrade. To my knowledge no other software vendor offers this kind of guarantee" states Steve Shapiro, President and Owner of Vend Catering Supply.

The AFS goal is that once you buy original AFS software and have it installed you will never have to buy the same software again. We provide functional updates and as technology changes, we keep you in pace with technology so you can focus on running your business.

During the sales cycle or immediately following, AFS professional services group will create a detailed statement of work and AFS will work to that statement, and all costs related to the project will be adhered to by AFS as long as the scope and customer roles are not changed.

This concept of guaranteed cost of ownership, combined with our ability to provide an accurate estimate of improvement in profitability, is a unique value proposition that only AFS can offer. We can do this because we are focused only in the food and beverage vertical and have unequalled channel intimacy. We also invest more in technology and development than any other company in our vertical.
