By: AFS Technologies For more than 90 years, John B. Sanfilippo & Son, Inc. has been a leading processor, marketer and distributor of baking nuts, snack nuts and nut-based products that are sold in multiple distribution channels. Historically, the company relied on a time consuming, paper-based process to manage trade spend activities for the company’s complex product lines and diverse retail buyers. As a result, Sanfilippo struggled to have visibility into its trade spend activities among a growing number of brokers—across both product lines and geographies— After an industry-wide search, the team at Sanfilippo chose AFS for its user-friendly, configurable TPM solution. While traditional TPM solutions are limited, managing only a one-to-one relationship, AFS provides a dynamic hierarchical structure which allows for multiple relationship management, ideal for the environment at Sanfilippo. In addition, AFS allows for customization through configuring the software without the need for external developers to support it. By empowering the team at Sanfilippo with a consolidated view of complex product lines and comprehensive trade spend activities, the company is now in a better position to meet planned growth objectives in 2016 and beyond. “The forward thinking team at AFS immediately recognized our unique business challenges and appointed a dedicated team to specifically map out a more effective hierarchy structure, designed to streamline our traditional, paper-based processes and gain control of our trade spending,” said Tom Kirkham, director of business applications, John B. Sanfilippo & Son Inc. “By centralizing the management of our trade promotion activities and increasing our visibility, including across our broker network, we can more easily identify which promotions are performing, improve deduction management and eliminate the manual process of sifting through multiple spreadsheets. This will allow us to focus on more strategic initiatives designed to support company growth.” AFS TPM Retail enables companies to strategically manage trade spending to improve promotional effectiveness, evaluate individual retailer or distributor performance either directly or through a broker, drive competitive advantage, and maximize return on investment. AFS TPM Retail easily integrates into a company’s existing ERP or accounting system to provide one centralized system for planning, executing, analyzing, and reconciling trade promotions. “We are thrilled to be working with John B.
