Trade spending expertise and a unique closed-loop solution that addresses HARIBO security requirements and delivers greater visibility into the complex trade spend processes for the #1 selling Gummi Bear.
Phoenix, Feb 1, 2018 – AFS Technologies, a leading global provider of software solutions purpose-built for consumer goods companies, is proud to announce that HARIBO USA has selected AFS for its Trade Promotion Management solution. HARIBO USA decided the time was right to invest in a comprehensive trade promotion management solution that could help them gain better control of their trade spend process, improve forecast accuracy, analyze “all-in trade spend” for net unit cost, provide the ability to do true customer planning, and have visibility to those plans as they execute, to make plan adjustments.
HARIBO also wanted a technology partner that could meet and exceed industry specifications and its own data security concerns, which AFS did with TPM V4 that met and exceeded their requirements.

This solution provides customer planning and visibility across sales, finance, accounting, supply chain, and marketing groups, providing insight for event analysis and into how the actual plan results are performing against the S&OP.
