SAN ANTONIO,Dec. 8,2021 --Based on its recent analysis of the North American food and beverage industry,Frost & Sullivan recognizes Aptean with the 2022 North American Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software for Food and Beverage (F&B) Product Leadership Award for designing tailored solutions for specific industry subsegments and increasing business value.

Global companies in the F&B industry require purpose-built software to address their concrete customer demands. Aptean's unrivaled industry-specific solutions meet businesses' unique needs with a high level of customization and scalability. The company's ERP solution delivers the expected capabilities of F&B software and integrates with other advanced,highly differentiated Aptean products,such as enterprise asset management,product lifecycle management,transport management systems,and overall equipment effectiveness.

"Frost & Sullivan applauds Aptean for providing a full enterprise suite specific to the food and beverage industry through this unique combination of its ERP,business application add-ons,and business solutions," said Sankara Narayanan,Senior Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "The F&B industry needs a unified,industry-specific ERP software solution and specialized tools to maximize profits and productivity and deliver the highest quality products. Aptean's software solution successfully addresses this need."

Aptean promotes its solution as a viable alternative to the one-size-fits-all software in the F&B industry that does not tackle the specific pain points of the multiple subsegments in this industry. For customers,tailored solutions boost productivity and efficiency,and Aptean deeply understands the needs of each F&B subsegment,providing clear and actionable insights into the newest trends on the market to increase profits and achieve higher customer engagement and shorter time to market.

Aptean's leadership in the F&B industry comes from its focus on building strong partnerships with customers,unrivaled support,knowledgeable managerial team,and first-class performance.

"Aptean's competitors have horizontal products and use direct sales or work with partners or value-added resellers (VARs) to get their products into a vertical. Although it may seem as though all vendors check the same boxes,such as trade and supply chain management and PLM,Aptean provides deep industry-specific functionality that is different from its competitors' offerings," noted Sankara Narayanan. "It also provides a full ecosystem such as business application add-ons and solutions specific to the F&B industry and addresses the end-to-end business processes for numerous F&B subsegments."

Each year,Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a product with innovative features and functionality that is gaining rapid market acceptance. The award recognizes the quality of the solution and the customer value enhancements it enables.
