PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AFS Technologies announced the launch of a CLOUD (AZURE) version of its industry-leading order management system (OMS), Web OMS. The web version of AFS Technologies’ order management system works with the Microsoft AZURE platform and provides remote sales reps and customers with the ability to access sales information from anywhere with Internet access. New enhancements are designed to provide scalability on demand, improve productivity and maximize order entry efficiency.
The AFS Web OMS solution provides instant scalability in the form of dynamic resource allocation and higher availability with improved fault-tolerance. In addition, cloud-based solutions are more effective at supporting a per-use fee structure instead of set monthly fees based on the hosted server cost. Traditional solutions require more physical server space to support additional resources and have a higher upfront cost, cloud-based solutions eliminate upfront costs altogether.
“Our ISV community is alive with innovation, and we’re committed to helping our partners drive the next generation of software experiences,” said Ross Brown, Vice President of ISV and Solutions Partners for the Worldwide Partner Group at Microsoft. “We’re impressed with AFS Technologies and their advanced product solutions. It’s no surprise they’re leading the way with this cutting-edge technology.”
“AFS Technologies is excited to launch the cloud-based version of our Web OMS solution,” said Kurien Jacob, CEO of AFS Technologies. He continues, “The real benefit to our customers is the ability to scale their database up or down based on actual business needs without the need of procuring, configuring, or deploying servers upfront. This offers significant cost savings to our customers.”
Continuing a long history of product innovation at AFS Technologies, Suhas Gudihal, Chief Technology Officer of AFS, added “Using Microsoft AZURE tools to develop this solution provides built-in high availability and fault tolerance. Compatibility with Microsoft AZURE allows us to offer customers compelling benefits, including ease of access, dynamic scalability, and an option for pay-as-you-go pricing based on a true software-as-a-service (SaaS) model.”
Quick order entry and order guide-based order entry options available in AFS Web OMS allow customers and sales reps to enter and manage orders via the Internet 24x7. Companies can streamline their order-to-cash processes and eliminate costly order entry errors by providing accurate, customer-specific pricing and available inventory information to their customers who are placing their orders online. In addition, access to the PROFILE™ product information database, the largest product information database in the food and beverage industry, is also available. This integrated solution provides product information that includes ingredients, allergens, nutritional, preparation and cooking instructions, which helps to maximize order potential at the time the order is placed.
Additional features and benefits of the AFS Web OMS solution include:
- Ability to configure individual customer profiles
- User-configurable multiple order guides per customer
- Quick views of past buying history & trends to drive recommending ordering
- Extensive reporting for customers, sales reps and management
- Highly configurable screen layouts based on user profile (employee, customer, etc.)
