Partnership
"Back in 2000 we decided to change our existing retail system over to one that was more focused on retail furniture sales. STORIS was the partner that we chose that year and we've been with them ever since. In April 2009 we went live with the Vision R8 upgraded platform and it has been such an advantage to us. We are very, very happy with it."

Long-Lasting Partnership
"Partnership is the key word. I feel AFW and STORIS have grown together over the years. We've brought great ideas to each other and have made them happen. The STORIS team has always been responsive to our needs and open to help deploy new technologies to enhance the customer experience. Combined with our culture of value and honesty, AFW has been built on systems of efficiency and consistency. This means from the warehouse, sales floor, customer service and all points in between."

A Strong Foundation
"In 1994, we became fully integrated and benefited from the STORIS retail solution. Now, 17 years later, every facet of our unique business model works together with STORIS. Since the implementation of STORIS’ Vision platform in 2010, we expanded with store openings in two new markets and one warehouse. This growth reinforces STORIS’ role in providing our company with the foundation for expansion. Our operations have been continuously optimized alongside STORIS’ robust product suite. The implementation of eSTORIS for an integrated B2B eCommerce solution is the next logical step in our partnership."

Smooth Conversion
"The conversion from Release 7 to the current Vision R8 version was a very smooth process. In addition to STORIS' preparation procedures, we had a Product Specialist come out for training about a month before the conversion, which put us ahead of the curve when we went live on the new release. Having one main contact working directly with us was terrific. Any questions we had were answered quickly and if needed, we were able to change our company operations to step up to the new revision."
