Western Computer Brings ERP Readiness Conversations for Packaging Manufacturers and Distributors to PACK EXPO International 2026

ROLLING MEADOWS, Ill. - [September 16, 2026] - Western Computer, a Microsoft Dynamics partner with nearly 40 years of ERP implementations behind it, will exhibit at PACK EXPO International 2026 from October 18 to 21 at McCormick Place in Chicago. The company will be at booth LL-9006, in its own backyard: Western Computer is headquartered in Rolling Meadows, Illinois.

PACK EXPO International draws roughly 2,600 exhibitors across more than 40 vertical markets. Most of the floor is machinery and materials. Western Computer will be there for a different part of the operation: the business systems that sit behind the equipment and decide whether a job is profitable, whether a lot can be traced, and whether a promise date holds.

At booth LL-9006, the team will run ERP readiness conversations to discuss whether Dynamics 365 Business Central or Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain Management is the better fit for operational complexity, and what a realistic phased rollout would look like.

For manufacturers, that discussion usually centers on estimating and job costing for configured-to-order builds, engineering change, finite capacity scheduling, quality at source, and aftermarket parts and service revenue. For distributors, it moves to warehouse management, EDI and ASN compliance, demand planning, customer-specific pricing and rebates, and true landed cost by SKU and channel.

Western Computer has completed more than 1,750 go-lives since 1987 and works with distribution, manufacturing, consumer packaged goods, food and beverage, remanufacturing, and wine and spirits companies across the United States and Canada. The company is a member of the 2026/2027 Microsoft Inner Circle for AI Business Solutions and has been named a Microsoft Partner of the Year finalist in 2022, 2023, and 2024.
