Meadville, PA – Actco Tool & Manufacturing Company, a veteran and woman-led small business in Meadville, PA, has partnered with Paperless Parts: the industry’s premier quoting and estimating software. This collaboration will enable Actco to enhance its quoting process and achieve unprecedented time savings. It will also help them to better leverage the expertise of its most experienced team members as the family-owned business transitions ownership to the next generation.

With the implementation of Paperless Parts, Actco will experience improved scalability of its estimating team, ensuring a consistent approach to pricing across the board. The software’s features enable a rapid onboarding process for new estimators, reducing training time and allowing them to provide accurate quotes in a shorter span that ensure greater profitability.

“We’ve been around for over 50 years, and we know that Paperless Parts will help set us up for success over the next 50,” said Dana Gruber, CEO of Actco. “Our most seasoned employee—who started as the most reluctant person to adopt the new technology—is now obsessed with the platform. Being able to codify his 47 years’ worth of tribal knowledge so that we can succeed beyond his tenure is invaluable to our business.”

Paperless Parts’ internal collaboration tools and centralized and searchable database for all quote packages and supporting files will help Actco streamline information retrieval and ensure efficient knowledge transfer across the organization.
