Wrobel Engineering Invests in Paperless Parts to Preserve Tribal Knowledge and Accelerate Complex Assembly Quotes
Leading Massachusetts manufacturer adopts Paperless Parts to support the next generation of growth.
December 11, 2025
Avon, MA – Wrobel Engineering, a woman-owned precision manufacturer specializing in sheet metal fabrication and CNC machining, has partnered with Paperless Parts to modernize its quoting process. This strategic collaboration reflects Wrobel Engineering’s commitment to enhancing operational efficiency and supporting continued growth across medical, commercial, and industrial markets.
Approaching its 50th anniversary, Wrobel Engineering has established itself as a trusted, full-service partner serving clients across the medical, commercial, industrial, and aerospace sectors. As the company continues to expand its footprint in the medical field and pursue growth in emerging commercial and industrial applications, leadership is prioritizing the enhancement of internal systems to support long-term scalability A key focus area is the modernization of the quoting process—from generation and review to final delivery—to ensure greater efficiency, accuracy, and responsiveness.
To support its growing aerospace and defense work and align with long-term business continuity goals, Wrobel Engineering selected Paperless Parts’ Aerospace & Defense tier and is integrating the platform with its existing Epicor Kinetic ERP. This combination is designed to create a more secure, standardized, and efficient quoting process while preserving the expertise of senior team members who have long guided pricing and manufacturability decisions.
“We have seasoned team members who make great gut calls, but we know we can’t rely on that forever,” said Paul Champagne, Sales Manager at Wrobel Engineering. “Paperless Parts gives us a way to capture that tribal knowledge, eliminate the subjectivity, and turn quoting into a repeatable, standard process.”
Previously, Wrobel Engineering handled quotes directly out of Epicor. While functional, that approach struggled to keep pace with the volume and complexity of today’s work—especially complex assemblies that could take two or more weeks to turn around. With Paperless Parts’ AI-powered quoting tools, including its BOM Builder, the company expects to significantly reduce turnaround times and improve consistency across estimators.
“In the past couple of years, we’ve seen more prototyping RFQs and fewer long-term contracts,” Champagne added. “Those prototype jobs are time-sensitive—you either respond quickly, or the opportunity is gone. Paperless Parts makes it faster and easier to get accurate numbers out the door, so we can aim for same-day turnaround on complex assemblies instead of waiting weeks.”
The platform’s built-in manufacturability checks also help the team surface potential issues earlier in the process. “One feature I really like is the way Paperless flags things, like if a hole is too close to a bend or anything that might cause trouble on the floor, we can address it right away with the customer. That helps us protect our margins and be a better partner.”
As Wrobel Engineering continues to grow its CNC machining capabilities and strengthen its medical and industrial customer base, leadership wants customers to think of the company as a true one-stop shop. Standardizing and speeding up quoting with Paperless Parts is a key part of that strategy, ensuring the business can support both long-term contracts and fast-moving prototype work while protecting the company’s legacy for the next generation.
“Wrobel Engineering is a great example of a shop that’s thinking about longevity and the next 50 years, not just the next 5,” said Jason Ray, Co-Founder and CEO of Paperless Parts. “By investing in systems that preserve tribal knowledge and improve speed on complex work, they’re setting themselves up to win more of the right opportunities while staying true to what’s made them successful for decades.”
