With AFS ePoD, you can boost your operational efficiencies and maximize customer service while reducing costs and increasing your revenue.

AFS ePoD is available for both Android and iOS. It is used in the field to track a product's activity from warehouse to customer delivery, supporting just-in-time electronic delivery confirmation including signature capture, photos, and GPS coordinates. Advanced features include the ability to track truck inventory on a real-time basis and provide the detailed level of customer account information that enables your personnel to make fast and precise deliveries.

The AFS supply chain management suite of products also contains:

·         AFS ePoD Office – a Web-based application used to manage in-field activities performed by the sales and delivery team, as well as stand-alone functionality (if needed) to support inventory management, order management/generation and production.

·         AFS OMSi – a self-serve order management platform that is Web-based and feature-rich to support both home delivery and B2B business models across multiple platforms and devices.

·         AFS ERP – an enterprise resource planning tool that manages complex sales performance deals; offers extensive bill back management to ensure money isn't left on the table; monitors weight, code date, and lot control for full track-and-trace; and provides accurate suggested purchase order functionality to buy smarter and reduce inventory investment.

"Management by Exception" functionality automatically alerts management to urgent data deviations that violate defined thresholds – and then offers resolution alternatives.

·         EDI – electronic data interchange functionality to sync data between AFS software solutions and also to seamlessly integrate data with EDI partners, as well as sharing product data among manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.

"Our goal is for you to master delivery. We don't want to give you a product that will only improve your work life a little. We want you to have a product that allows you to overcome the hurdles that plague your business every day," stresses Gennadiy Vaksman, vice president of SCM/RE global operations. "We want you to be confident that ePoD can help you resolve or prevent late deliveries, shorted products, lost time, needless spending, paper waste, and customer frustrations."
