Packer Fastener Finds a Local AI Partner

AI has been a buzzword in the distribution industry for years now, but deploying cutting-edge technologies can be easier said than done.

Fortunately for one Wisconsin distributor, answers were convenient to come by: an advanced technology hub ended up located just down the road. 

Packer Fastener’s technology team recently partnered with experts at the TitletownTech and Microsoft AI Co-Innovation Lab in its native Green Bay to develop an AI-powered tool that will help automate the company’s quoting and ordering processes — saving it dozens of hours each month.

Bill Feck, Packer Fastener’s chief technology officer, joins the latest episode of “5 Minutes with Industrial Distribution” to talk about how the software was built — and how Packer plans to deploy AI elsewhere in the company.
