Paperless Parts Reviews

Paperless Parts has brought out quoting into the 21st century. It has improved our quoting speed and quality dramatically. It's an incredibly powerful tool for communicating with our customers, outside vendors, and internally. Our customers love the ability to easily submit quotes and to select their order size and delivery time.

We really have no major complaints about it. This software is still improving everyday, and whenever we have found an issue the Paperless Parts team has been very quick to issue an update with the change. Its great to be able to provide feedback to a software company and see the change rolled out in just a few weeks.

I love the intelligence the platform offer by analyzing the CAD model, and how easily it integrates with our ERP system to convert the bid into a shop router.

The ability to build, edit, and link assemblies together seems limited. They have added some capabilities, and will most likely improve on this feature in the near future.

One of the most impactful features of this software is that we can get people with little knowledge involved in the estimating process. The integration into our current business was very smooth, and the software is very user friendly. It is also very nice to be able to view the 3D model and all related documentation from one software rather than having to use multiple.

There are not a lot of things at this point that I dislike. We have talked about the fact that it would be nice if you could assign users tasks based off work completed during the quote process.

Quickly was able to get going from setup to capturing bids on the first one sent. Trained the first office staff and her quote took ten minutes the first time. Intuitive and simple, yet you can get really deep with the P3L language. Mind-blowing.

The software is very well rounded, I do not have many complaints, and if I did, I would email or call and they are really responsive. Most of the time answers in the same hour.

Paperless has been able to replicate a very intense excel spreadsheet quoting process. It has allowed us to except more quotes and speed the process up with ease. Future plans are in place either to bring in a Junior estimator or even thoughts of having our Engineers do some quoting.

the UN ability to Rev quotes, several time customer will ask for updated quotes. the process is to copy the quote. Unfortunately that changes the quote number also

Paperless is our in house process and management software. Smooth operating and really easy to use once you set up your custom parameters. Paperless has completely organized our job management process coupled with the right analytics to help keep on the right track and in the know.

There have been a couple of useability quirks that aren't worth mentioning due to the fact that the paperless team resolved with swift action.

The fact that our Customers can facilitate their own orders from requesting an RFQ to placing their orders is much Value added time. We are able to turn quotes around in a short period of time. As we continue to use the software, Paperless parts is willing to listen to their customers and make changes on the fly. They are also open to implementing changes to accommodate our needs. The software is very user friendly.

The only con is it will not currently integrate with our manufacturing system. This is not by their doing. The other software manufacturer is not willing to integrate at the moment.

Seamless integration within our current process and streamlined our quoting process.

Software is meant for quoting and is fantastic for quoting purposes however, with still being in the early stages of development within the other aspects of the tool the other features are not available yet.

The customer service at Paperless Parts has been top notch. They have invested time in learning what matters most to us and positioned themselves to meet that need.

We are very happy with the product! We have provided feedback about helpful features the team could incorporate and feel confident they are working towards implementing those ideas.

-dynamic platform that can grow with the organization -highly configurable using simplified coding language and UI -best customer support [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] -ease of use -the platform is accessible from any device with access to the internet -the developers are constantly expanding the platform features and and providing new tools to users based on customer feedback -quick quoting cycle-time -DFM feedback -great user interface and customer quote presentation -internal and external user communication tools/ annotations of models and pdf drawings -the quoting process can be as automated or manual as would like

-My one small gripe, white-label services could be improved for external branding. The customer quote branding is excellent. I'm not sure it is the intent of the developer to offer this service; however, the white-labeling that is present could improve. The use of larger customer logo displayed in the user interface and external communication tools is preferred. -while the web application works well, an app optimized for a mobile workforce would be great -The platform provides a competitive advantage for users; you'll want to keep it a secret.

The cloud-based ability to process a solid model allowed us to greatly decrease our time spent estimating. It also allowed us to improve the effectiveness of our quoting process.

The search function doesn't allow us to search for a part number correctly.

From day one, the software is incredibly easy to learn and use. We are able to manage hundreds of quotes in a quick and professional manner with minimal effort. This allows us to focus more on the production end of our business rather than allocating resources just to get a quote to a customer. The most impressive part though is the customer service we receive. It is not common to find a company that is as willing to pick up the phone and have a conversation about our experience. On multiple occasions, their team has heard our suggestions out and within a few days implemented those improvements.

The software does lack some functionality compared to others on the market but they are continually adding new features, analytics, and integrations.

Paperless parts has helped our team streamline our quoting process, stay nimble with our customers and adds an exceptional extension to our business. From the sales perspective, I have watched our team adopt this platform easily and communicate to our customers faster and easier then ever before. The paperless team understood the needs of our unique business and were able to deliver a solution when we needed it the most.

Nothing comes to mind at the moment....

Fast and simple and gets more accurate the more used. Team is also very open to making changes/upgrades.

Simply takes some time for the software to pindown accuracy as it related to our specific shop.

Makes it easier to increase profit margins through accurate material and time estimation. It also has automatic mark up and faster lead time calculations to help capture more revenue. Presentation to the client or customer is very professional. It has the ability to read and interpret 3D models and point out areas of more difficulty. Makes quoting go much faster. Streamlines the capture and tracking of customer data. No more misplaced drawings or using the wrong revision. Makes it easy for customers to place RFQ's and orders. Can be integrated into shop's work flow. Frees up people to do more important work. Tech support is responsive. Integrates with Quick Books

Setup takes time, but they do take time with you to do it. You will need to spend time tweaking the results to match your business model. However, once it is done, it just works.

The software works! It is extremely simple to use but very powerful. Our customers are constantly impressed with how fast we can quote, how easy it is for them to use, the depth of valuable detail provided, and the overall professional look. I've been in contract manufacturing for over 35 years and I've seen many opportunities go to the wayside because it took too many man hours to quote and too long to get the quote to the customer. As a small startup company it is critical that we can constantly add new equipment and services to our portfolio. Paperless Parts makes it simple for us to add those new options to our quotes and quickly start offering them to our customers.

I can't really say there is any issues that come to mind. I could constantly ask them for added features so the software handles more of our process needs but I know it wasn't designed to be an MRP/ERP system. It does what it was designed to do, automate the quoting process.

Paperless Parts quoting platform comes with a dedicated team to implement the product, and they are always reachable through the web chat for questions post implementation. They have always been there to support us. Their platform is also ITAR registered and they are NIST compliant. We were looking for a platform which has the same cyber security posture as Tronix3D, and it gives us the ability to meet or exceed the military cyber security requirements for our business.

The max file upload size is ~50mb. We have had a few STL files which have not been up loadable because they exceeded the max file size.

The software is easy to use and allowed us to reduced our "time to quote" significantly. With this tool we can get quotes in front of customers faster increasing the chance that we will win the business. The expediting feature is also a major benefit as this allows us to easily communicate expediting options to our customers and capitalize on our ability to turn parts around quickly

We do not currently have this software integrated with our ERP system so there are some redundant data entries. I believe that there are some ERP systems that will integrate but unfortunately ours is not one of them.

- It streamlines the quoting process for our clients and for our inside team - It automates the handling of part files, for fast processing and for the avoidance of errors - Very clean and professional looking interface - Constant ongoing improvement in the functionality and the features, based on our input - Online payment relieves us of handling that chore - The expectation for future growth of its capabilities - The cost is very reasonable for the value delivered

I wish I could say, but nothing comes to mind...

It has a clean interface and conveys all the right information to the customer without being too intimidating

Probably the file size limitations and sometimes the cloud based platform crashes

This software give us a very professional qutoing system that is outward facing. It is very polished and easy to use. We have gotten very positive feedback, without asking for it, from our customers about our quoting system.

That it does not link the transactions with our Quickbooks software. That is something that is in the works to be rolled out.

The design is flawless. It's very sleek-looking and fairly simple to use on the customer's end of things.

A LOT of clicking of the mouse. It takes an average of about 10 clicks of the mouse to get a single part generated in a quote. That can be time consuming and exhausting at times.

*Ease of use *Rapid adaption rate--both inside the shop and with customers *Monthly improvements/new features *Exceptional value add

Early releases were more limited in scope, but the Paperless team has been overwhelming supportive in taking our feedback and incorporating it into the next release.

Paperless Parts' auto quoting system is a powerful tool. We are all able to customize, analyze, and quote all of our processes (additive, CNC, Cast Urethane, Assembly, Toolmaking, Injection Molding all in a centralized cloud-based system. My company conducts business with an array of customers that are in the Aerospace, Defense, Medical Device, and Commercial markets. The fact that Paperless parts...

My number one complaint about Paperless Parts is that it wasn't available earlier! Their services saved my company ample time and money!
