Amtech Software Introduces Amtech Intelligence, Elevating the Packaging Industry with Value-Driven AI Capabilities, Including the Strategic Acquisition of Clarico Systems

Amtech Software, the leading provider of ERP, MES and CRM solutions for the packaging industry, today introduced Amtech Intelligence, elevating performance for the packaging industry with value-driven AI capabilities. As part of the announcement, Amtech is also acquiring Clarico Systems, the pioneering 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.

Amtech Intelligence: Leading AI for the Packaging Industry

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.

Clarico: The Pioneer in AI-Powered Packaging Estimating and Quoting

Clarico has established itself as the 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.

For an industry where margin pressure and speed-to-quote are critical differentiators, Clarico's AI capabilities deliver an immediate and quantifiable return on investment.

Immediate Value for Amtech's Customers

The acquisition creates an immediately addressable opportunity to deploy Clarico's AI quoting technology across existing relationships, with no competitive displacement required. Amtech customers will gain access to Clarico's capabilities within their existing operational workflow, accelerating time-to-value for manufacturers looking to modernize their estimating and quoting processes.

Clarico's technology is also fit for packaging and flexible packaging environments, validated by Amtech customers who are actively evaluating Clarico's technology.
