Aerospace & Defense
Supporting the Nation’s Top Aerospace & Defense Manufacturers
Whether you are dealing with large packages and assemblies with multiple supporting files, quoting quantities of 1-50 or 5,000-50,000, using special materials, or working on parts with uniquely tight tolerances, Paperless Parts provides you with the tools for everything you need to successfully quote the job.
Streamline Estimating & Quoting with Paperless Parts
Quote Large, Complicated Packages Efficiently
Take the admin pain out of OEM quoting—especially when you’re dealing with massive, messy quote packages. Forward RFQs directly into Paperless Parts and automatically generate bulk line items from large file drops, so your team spends less time on clerical setup and more time evaluating manufacturability and risk. Use our CMMC-compliant, AI-powered BOM Builder (even when it’s a stack of legacy PDFs) to extract structure, organize and edit hierarchies, and convert subassemblies into purchased components to match how your shop actually builds. Then, push BOMs and routing steps into your ERP to eliminate double entry and keep the front office and shop floor aligned.
PDF Information Extraction, Analysis & Markup
De-risk quoting from complex RFQ packages with Paperless Parts’ built-in PDF tools and Requirements Review. Instantly search and extract key callouts—tight tolerances, MIL-SPECs, ASTM specifications, and required outside processes so you can quickly flag “no-quote” parts before your team burns hours chasing work you can’t (or shouldn’t) take on. With our AI-powered Wingman surfacing in-quote spec callouts and plain-language process descriptions at your fingertips, estimators can stay consistent and move faster. Then mark up prints, redact sensitive details before sharing with outside vendors, and keep a traceable record of decisions and comments—so every quote has clear, auditable rationale.
Eliminate the Need for Expensive CAD Software
For all new defense programs, it is required in the DFARS that complete technical data be provided. To date, accessing Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) has required additional subscriptions to CAD software, putting this critical information effectively behind a paywall. With Paperless Parts, extract and display PMI—dimensions, tolerances, parallelisms, datums, text annotations—on Model-Based Definition files directly in your browser. Data is available from all files that can contain PMI, including STEP AP242, JT files, 3D PDFs, and native formats from platforms like SolidWorks, Catia, PTC Creo, and Siemens NX.
Achieve CMMC Compliance
Pass your CMMC audit with Paperless Parts’ FedRAMP Moderate Equivalent solution hosted on Amazon GovCloud. Protect your customers’ intellectual property by securely sharing and storing files through Paperless Parts without the need for expensive FTP licenses or file storage tools. Keep all your data centralized in one place, and when collaborating externally, choose the files you share, prevent them from being downloaded, and set expiration dates to limit how long parties can access data. With the PDF Viewer, easily redact files to share only the information needed.
Maintain AS9100 & ISO9001 Quality
Meet AS9100 and ISO9001 standards with Paperless Parts’ digital documentation storage, revision control, and real-time collaboration, ensuring that all relevant documents are easily accessible and up to date. Generate accurate and consistent quotes quickly, taking into account factors such as material costs, labor hours, and machine capabilities.
Maintain a centralized repository for documents such as engineering drawings and specifications, providing traceability of revisions and ensuring that the latest version is always accessible to reduce the risk of using outdated or incorrect information.
OEM-Ready Custom Quote Exports
Paperless Parts can be configured to export quote data into OEM-specific CSV formats, matching required fields, naming conventions, and layout guidelines, so your team can adhere to the way each buyer expects, faster and with fewer errors. Custom exports also make it easy to generate simplified purchasing summaries and build analytics-ready spreadsheets for tracking margins, win rates, and quoting trends across programs.
