Amtech Software has integrated an artificial intelligence email-intake agent into its Quick Quote platform to automate the processing of incoming manufacturing quote requests. This released system parses email data and attachments to identify specifications, routing the information into the EnCore platform.
Why it matters
By automating the transcription of quote requests, this technology aims to reduce front-office processing times for manufacturers. The move signifies a shift toward eliminating manual data entry in industrial quoting workflows.
The system identifies key parameters including box style, dimensions, board specifications, and quantity from emails. It then populates structured quote lines in the EnCore platform, with human employees retaining oversight for missing information flagged by the agent.
The players
Amtech Software
A software provider based in Fort Washington, PA, specializing in integrated business management systems for the packaging industry.
Clarico Systems
A software company acquired by Amtech in May 2026 to expand its digital capabilities.
The details
The agent leverages natural language processing to read incoming emails and extract structural data, which is then passed directly into the EnCore platform to bypass manual keyboard entry. While the agent manages initial ingestion, human employees must review and finalize every generated quote to ensure accuracy. The technology is specifically optimized for regular slotted container and half-slotted container quoting workflows.
Timeline
May 2026: Amtech acquired Clarico Systems.
October 6, 2026: Amtech released the AI email-intake agent.
October 11-14, 2026: Amtech will preview additional AI tools in Nashville.
The Tech Race
This integration follows a pattern of targeted automation updates within the EnCore platform ecosystem. The development reflects a broader industry trend of augmenting legacy enterprise software with AI-driven intake tools to compete on administrative efficiency.
Current users of the Quick Quote platform can utilize the agent immediately for regular slotted and half-slotted container requests. The workflow requires human verification for all flagged data, ensuring that manufacturers maintain control over final quote accuracy.
The takeaway
The deployment of this agent signals a transition toward fully automated front-office workflows in the packaging industry. Watch for additional feature announcements at the company's user conference in Nashville this October to see how these capabilities expand beyond current container types.
What happens next
Amtech will preview additional AI applications for its software suite at the company user conference in Nashville, scheduled for October 11-14, 2026.
