Company History

Absolute Value has roots in the Distribution Software Industry that are extensive, with specific strength in Forecasting and Replenishment. Constructed of both end-user and software vendor experience, the Absolute Value team bridges a dual perspective on the complex needs of today's distributors.

Blending this depth of experience with knowledge of state-of-the-art technology and application solutions provides our clients a unique pathway to success. The Absolute Value team offers this key experience gained as an evolution of Lanham Associates, a Microsoft Gold-Certified ISV (Independent Software Vendor). Lanham got its start with Navision Software when Navision entered the U.S. Market from Denmark in the 1990's. At that time the company was retained to create the product's first distribution functionality, and has been creating complementary supply chain planning and execution solutions, built inside the Microsoft Dynamics NAV (formerly Navision) product, ever since.

Lanham Associates has delivered more than 230 successful implementations of its Advanced Forecasting & Procurement product through its extensive channel of reseller partners around the globe. Ever adapting with technology, Lanham now has expanded the availability of this product, reformatted in the SaaS (Software as a Service) environment and offered with ERP independence, as Absolute Value.
