From RFQ to Quoting In Seconds
With AI-powered quote setup, eliminate repetitive, error-prone tasks associated with getting ready to quote parts. Simply forward RFQ emails directly into Paperless Parts and a new quote is automatically created for you with all of your RFQ files attached, scanned for malware, and ready for review. Line item building tools allow you to easily organize your files via drag-and-drop—no more renaming, organizing, and building folders on your shared drive. With our AI-supported Part Setup tool, critical part data is identified and offered as suggestions, reducing time searching for details on prints and eliminating errors from transcribing or missing information.
Collecting, sorting, and managing RFQs through email and spreadsheets is a tedious and risky process. Paperless Parts provides a centralized platform for viewing, prioritizing, assigning and managing RFQs through a holistic quotes dashboard. Streamline the process even further through Paperless Parts’ ITAR-compliant Smart RFQ Form that can be embedded directly onto your website, reducing manual entry and speeding up your response times.
A large percentage of time spent estimating is simply organizing your bill of materials. Paperless Parts builds your BOM for quoting by automatically extracting tree structures from CAD files, and allows you to easily edit and organize your assemblies, identify and cost subcomponents, and purchased hardware quickly and accurately.
Rather than being locked into a BOM structure prescribed by the engineer who built the model, send more accurate quotes, with fewer mistakes, in less time by building BOMs the way that you prefer.
Catch manufacturability issues before they cost you money. Paperless Parts analyzes 3D CAD models based on various manufacturing processes like CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, and additive manufacturing.
The platform identifies potential issues like tight corners, deep holes that require special tooling, and bend reliefs. The manufacturability detection thresholds can be customized to your shop’s capabilities.
Quoting from PDFs can be time consuming and error prone. Paperless Parts PDF viewing tools are purpose-built with job shop estimators in mind. Save hours by putting an end to “stare and compare” when handling print revisions, easily redact sensitive information when sending prints to other vendors like finishing shops, and quickly collaborate and annotate without ever leaving Paperless Parts. Most importantly, keep the information estimators used to price a job clear and searchable so that once a job is won, your machine operators don’t need to re-engineer.
