Crain's Chicago Business has just written about a real-world example of business success with AI: Northwest Meat. This small, family-owned business provides meat to restaurants in Chicago. They had a daily task that they dreaded: taking orders, and compiling the warehouse schedule for the next day, involving over 1,000 different products. It involved either the owner, or office staff, spending three hours at night.
Now, they use an AI tool called Choco AI that is designed for food distributors. It's cut their time down from three hours to less than 60 minutes. Northwest Meat told Crain's that they pay $1100/month for the tool, and the owner estimates it saves him $22k/year in labor expenses. #AI #distribution #supplychain
