One of the standout attendees at this event was ARG Industrial, an employee-owned company based in Anchorage, Alaska. Their journey serves as a great example of how embracing innovation can propel a business to new heights of efficiency and success. 

For Mike Powers, Chief Digital and Technology Officer for ARG Industrial, the Applied AI for Distributors event was a game-changer.  

“The event opened our eyes to the immense potential of AI in streamlining routine tasks and automating processes,” he shared. “We’ve been able to pinpoint areas within our operations where AI can be implemented to reduce manual labor and optimize workflows significantly.” 

The networking and collaboration opportunities were invaluable for ARG Industrial. They seized the chance to develop new relationships with vendors, leading to the development of proof-of-concept projects. The goals of these initiatives were to seamlessly integrate advanced AI solutions into their operations, promising enhancements in efficiency and productivity. 

But it wasn’t just about the networking – the educational component was equally transformative. Attendees like ARG Industrial were armed with actionable knowledge and best practices for implementing AI in their operations. “This has been a boon for our team,” Powers said, “equipping us with the tools to effectively educate our workforce and implement changes that will drive our success.” 

Following the event, the ARG Industrial team convened for a strategy session, where they discussed the integration of the learned strategies. This meeting was pivotal in setting clear, actionable steps that are now guiding the company’s technology adoption and business efficiency improvement initiatives. 

Mike Powers enthusiastically recommends the Applied AI for Distributors event to any business engaged in or contemplating a digital transformation.  

“The event bridged the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical business applications, making it a must-attend for industry leaders,” he said. 

At DSG, we are thrilled to have played a role in ARG Industrial’s transformative AI journey. Their story is a testament to the power of embracing innovation and advancing digital capabilities in an increasingly competitive marketplace. As businesses continue to navigate the ever-changing landscape, events like Applied AI for Distributors serve as catalysts for growth, equipping companies with the knowledge and tools to unlock the full potential of AI and drive their businesses forward. 

We look forward to witnessing the success of ARG Industrial as they leverage the insights gained from our event to redefine what’s possible for their operations and the industry as a whole. Their journey is an example of the transformative impact that can be achieved when businesses are open to embracing new technologies and collaborating with industry experts.
