AFN Recognized On 2012 List of "100 Great Supply Chain Projects"

AFN, a rapidly expanding logistics and supply chain company, has been named to the 2012 List of "100 Great Supply Chain Projects". Inclusion on the "100" list by the industry publication Supply & Demand Chain Executive recognizes AFN's leadership as a premier solution and service provider in the industry.

"We're very honored by this designation," said Michael Nervick, CEO and Founder of AFN. "We pride ourselves on continuously challenging the status quo to help customers improve their bottom line and this award recognizes our effort".

AFN uses sophisticated analytics to help manufacturers and retailers get products on store shelves in the quickest, safest, greenest and most cost-effective ways possible. The company works with 8 of the largest 10 retailers in the U.S. "Logistics and supply chain strategies are less about getting a product from point A to point B and more about eliminating unnecessary steps," added Nervick. "This award is based on our work with a leading manufacturer who outsourced transportation to AFN and, as a result, reduced costs and increased customer satisfaction."
