Amtech Software has introduced Amtech Intelligence, elevating performance for the packaging industry with value-driven AI capabilities. As part of the announcement, Amtech is acquiring Clarico Systems, the provider of AI-powered estimating and quoting software for the packaging industry. The acquisition represents the latest advancement in Amtech Intelligence, deepening Amtech’s AI capabilities and delivering immediate, measurable value to Amtech’s global customer base.
“The acquisition of Clarico System is a meaningful step forward for Amtech Intelligence and our commitment to the packaging industry. Clarico, integrated into Amtech’s ERP offerings, will provide an unmatched capability that gives our customers a competitive advantage. This is exactly the kind of innovation our customers deserve, and it’s available to them today,” said Chuck Schneider, CEO, Amtech Software.
The Clarico acquisition is the latest step in Amtech’s strategy to elevate the performance of packaging manufacturers by delivering AI-powered solutions that deliver measurable customer value. Clarico’s capabilities complement and extend Amtech Intelligence: AI embedded into the workflows that corrugated, folding carton, label, and flexible packaging companies rely on to profitably serve their customers. Amtech Intelligence activates existing business data into decisions, actions, and better outcomes to transform how packaging manufacturers plan, quote, produce, and optimize their operations.
In collaboration with Amtech’s customer AI Council, a group of packaging manufacturers who provide direct input on Amtech’s AI roadmap, Amtech developed the thesis that the industry is prioritizing fast access to solutions that securely elevate performance, not generic AI for its own sake.
Amtech Intelligence currently delivers AI capabilities across key workflows: schedule and shipment planning optimization, already in production for customers, and AI-enabled quoting, now accelerated by the acquisition of Clarico. Additional capabilities are being developed with the input of the customer AI Council.
“Our customers are under enormous pressure, from input costs, labor markets, and customer demands for a faster turnaround. AI is not a luxury for this industry. With Clarico’s capabilities inside our ERP offerings, Amtech is delivering a competitive edge to our customers today,” continued Schneider.
Clarico has established itself as a significant AI-powered estimating and quoting solution for the corrugated, folding carton and flexible packaging markets. By applying machine learning and intelligent automation to the quoting process, Clarico enables packaging manufacturers to generate faster, more accurate quotes, reducing cycle times, eliminating costly estimating errors, and improving win rates on competitive bids.
“Clarico was built with one purpose, to give packaging manufacturers the intelligence they need to quote smarter, win more business, and protect their margins. Amtech shares that mission. By bringing Clarico’s AI quoting engine into the Amtech ERP offerings, we are putting a competitive weapon into the hands of packaging manufacturers around the world,” said Pierre Slabber, CEO, Clarico.
