A fully integrated solution allows for easy remote access of important modules such as ecommerce, BI tools, and digital workflows for a low touch and minimal maintenance environment.       **UPDATED COST MODELS** In 2020, we released our new **Automated Performance Costing** module which allows our customers to review, fine-tune, adapt their models, evaluate business change impacts, and more…when they see fit. The tool is simple and easy for any business manager to use without the need for complicated spreadsheets or outside consultants.  In 2021, this will be the **number one tool** for our customers to have as they face many changes along the supply chain, volumes, and customer mix.   **IMPROVED BUSINESS EFFICIENCY** Businesses are seeing the benefits of leveraging integrated technology that improves timeliness and accuracy of information flow throughout the enterprise.   This is where our integrated **Corrugator, Converting Scheduling**, and **Shipment Planning** **Software** combined with **Amtech Automation’s ScoreKeeper****Production Monitoring Solution** provides the right formula of integration.  Customers who have already implemented these solutions are finding greater utilization of machines and improved delivery commitments. Our Intelligent algorithms and automation solutions appropriately balance schedules and increase efficiency at machine centers which greatly improves bottom line performance.   **SYSTEM INTEGRATION** Looking forward, we are continuing to develop in the areas of digital integration.  With our open API structure, we offer integration with other platforms to enhance day-to-day workflows for our customers.

The eCommerce impact has been growth in packaging industry volumes and shipping container diversity. Early on the packaging industry was deemed “essential” with many plants working around the clock to satisfy customer needs. The good news was that our customers and the industry were busy while many industries were slowing or shutting down. However, the surge led to complex scheduling  and nightmarish logistics challenges. Fortunately for our customers Amtechs acquisition of the former Avista Solutions company in 2018 formed the basis of recent development projects for the creation of more efficient scheduling of the corrugator and converting operations. The new systems improved both the cost and operational efficiencies of plants and simultaneously required enhancements for shipping planning and logistics. “ I am so proud that we were able to accommodate two recent high volume customers with the implementation of our new Automated Advanced Converting Scheduling & Shipment planning modules. They are both excited and relieved with the prospects of meeting their customer’s needs”, stated Chairman Cosmo DeNicola.     -   - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) Wednesday, November 18, 2020 [![](https://www.cosmodenicola.com/hubfs/StackedAmtechLogoRGB.png) ](https://www.cosmodenicola.com/news/amtech-winning-the-competitive-landscape) ## Amtech Winning the Competitive Landscape  Fort Washington, PA - Recent sales success has led to 3 companies replacing their existing systems with Amtech’s Encore cloud based ERP system. The three 3 major companies on the West Coast,  Midwest and Latin America all saw the benefit of moving to the cloud to enhance remote workers and cyber security. Another major advantage of moving systems off premises are varying access restrictions being implemented due to the pandemic that restrict system maintenance, disaster planning and data backups. All three companies were looking for a comprehensive, all in one solution that had a robust set of applications to handle everything from brown box to Digital printing. ” Its always exciting to obtain a new customer but it’s especially pleasing when they make the decision that its worth the effort to upgrade from their legacy system”, stated Amtech president Darren Artillio.
