(Original )Information
What do you like best about Paperless Parts?

Paperless Parts is great at identifying features of a part that we might overlook while quoting, and also provides a great template that decreases the total time it takes to quote a part, or package of parts. Using the estimated cycle time feature, we can now quote large parts packages in only a few hours. Paperless parts also provides a professional quote template that we get compliments on all of the time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paperless Parts?

The estimated cycle time feature is a great feature, but is a little off at times for larger more complex parts and sometimes we have an issue where outside services such as black oxide arent properly calculated based on the weight of the parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paperless Parts:

Paperless Parts will greatly reduce the time spent quoting jobs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paperless Parts solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had a backlog of jobs to quote, which would take forever to do manually. Using a solid model, and having built up a parts history with paperless parts we can quote complex 3+2 milling parts in a mater of minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paperless Parts?

My favorite part about Paperless Parts is that it will automatically calculate an estimated machine run-time if you have a 3D model. This has substantially reduced the amount of time I have to spend talking with our machinists and coming up with a run-time ourselves. It is not always perfect, but it gives you a very good place to start. It will also point out any concerning features that may be problematic on a CNC machine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paperless Parts?

I genuinely do not dislike anything about Paperless Parts. If I had to choose one thing I would say that I would like to see more Assembly features included in the growth package. We can't justify purchasing the professional package just for these features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paperless Parts:

I believe any job shop/prototyping shop would greatly benefit from Paperless Parts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paperless Parts solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been able to get quotes out much faster and it has reduced the amount of time I have to spend reviewing drawings with our machinists. It has also made me much more organized since I can always go back and reference each quote in detail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paperless Parts?

First of all, everything is paperless! All the information is managed electronically, our RFQ staff is really happy about this and our customers can have their information whenever they want.

We also can share their 3D models and share with our members the information on the quoted parts and what jobs we will be processing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paperless Parts?

There are some customers and people that are not used to managing everything electronically and don't use the shopping cart to order their parts, they will review the quote and send us a PO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paperless Parts:

Save time and bring more jobs to your facility by using Paperless Parts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paperless Parts solving and how is that benefiting you?

Quotation times have improved by 3 times, that has allowed us to bring more jobs to our shop floor and work on many more part numbers to increase our current profits. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paperless Parts?

I enjoy the comments feature to engage with team members on the backside of production, as well as being able to send out emails to clients on geometry or process updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paperless Parts?

I haven't found much I dislike about Paperless. Overall, there are some teething issues as we onboard this, but the Paperless team is on point and very accomodating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paperless Parts:

It's a great tool and a leg-up from what we've seen before. The features and tools available and first-in-class and their support team is excellent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paperless Parts solving and how is that benefiting you?

We used to have quite a few unnecessary emails sent out to clients and customers in the past. With this tool we can automate some emails, and selectively (with pre-filled formats!) send out emails to clients regarding updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paperless Parts?

Adopting Paperless Parts as the quote management tool for our waterjet cutting shop was one of the best decisions we've ever made. It reduced quote turnaround times substantially and increased the quality and consistency of our quoting documents to the point where we received compliments on the digital quote documents themselves! Along the way, I've been impressed with the strength of support and the evidence that improvements are constantly being rolled out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paperless Parts?

The only consistent downsides I can think of are fairly minor interface and workflow quirks. I have complete confidence they will be improved or fixed with time. We've had some issues with processing and viewing large CAD models, but this isn't entirely unexpected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paperless Parts:

Try it! Paperless Parts has been an incredible tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paperless Parts solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are using Paperless Parts as a budgetary quoting tool for our waterjet cutting job shop service. Paperless Parts has helped keep our entire team aligned on the status of customer quotes/orders, and has saved a tremendous amount of time in contrast to our previous solution, which was a spreadsheet and manual quote document generation!

What do you like best about Paperless Parts?

The API's and SDK they make available for their customer base are outstanding for integrations. Couple that with their highly skilled engineers makes for a perfect combination for a successful rollout. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paperless Parts?

The one capability I'd like to see added is customer access to their data through sql. It could be in the form of a tab in the customers web portal or even through the use of a linked server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paperless Parts solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are in the final stages of a rollout but are already seeing the benefits of the software. For us, the most significant gains will be the turnaround time for quote creation, integration into our current ERP, and accuracy of the quote. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Paperless Parts?

It's individually constructed to fit our needs for analyzing and quoting projects. The software identifies problems and allows us to work with our customers to help resolve these. Additionally, it enables us to quote and track our quotes with speed and accuracy. Paperless customer service is quick and very helpful. The product is constantly updated to meet current and future needs and integrates with our ERP.

Since the product is web-based, it allows us to work remotely and with any computing device available, which increases the speed at which we can reach our customers.

I think they are helping to change the culture of manufacturing by automating and innovating the digital environment. It's not just about quoting the process; it's rethinking how to make the process work for both the shop and the customer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paperless Parts?

I wish it worked better with Safari.

My wish is that Paperless would morph into an ERP, but it appears that they are aligning themselves with Pro Shop, which seems to be a fine program, not entirely of Paperless design or culture but we are planing to switch our ERP to Pro Shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paperless Parts solving and how is that benefiting you?

Paperless handles assemblies well and reduces our work by hours.

Customers comment and like the way we can communicate with Paperless and the speed at which it happens.

Information is readily avialiable and helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Incentivized Review
What do you like best about Paperless Parts?

Paperless Parts has a very good understanding of custom parts manufacturers because of their managements' experience of owning and operating successful custom parts manufacturing businesses. Out of all the quoting platforms available to us, they were the most attractive because we felt they knew more about what we needed on the back end and front end of the software than their competitors. They have streamlined the quoting process for job shops. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paperless Parts?

Although their processes are very good overall, I hope Paperless Parts makes it possible to customize the orders of items for the 'Processes', 'Materials', and 'Finishes' on the RFQ form so our customers have a more seamless and frictionless experience. I have been asking for this update for awhile now and a couple weeks ago, after my last inquiry into this, they did upgrade the orders of the items in the above mentioned lists so that they are in alphabetical order. This is definitely an improvement, but I would think that with the software and technology available this day in age, it wouldn't be that challenging for Paperless Parts to make it so shops like us can customize the orders of the items in these lists according to how we want them to appear for our customers. This is especially important for our lists in which we have more extensive options. We would like to put our most popular or marketable options first so that most of our customers don't need to scroll through the whole list to find what they are looking for. We think a lot of Paperless Parts and their mission to help job shops like us, and I just think that if they want to be the very best they can be, they need to make this improvement. We are still hoping they will do it sometime soon and other than this, have been very happy with their services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paperless Parts:

Overall, the Paperless Parts quoting software is excellent and the best that we've found after researching other competitors. As I mentioned above, there are things that can always be improved upon, but we feel that Paperless Parts is trying to continuously improve its software and we are hoping it will continue to evolve in ways that will help us provide an even better experience for our customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paperless Parts solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have been able to reduce quoting times and streamline the process for delivering quotes to customers. This has made it much easier to do business with our clients this day in age. Paperless parts also makes it possible to keep track of all your orders and have good data to look back on over time. This is very helpful for business analytics and business development.

What do you like best about Paperless Parts?

Paperless did a great job of setting up our quoting system based on how we were already quoting parts for customers Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Paperless Parts?

The only thing I wish the system had was a better accounting-based report for sales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Paperless Parts:

Paperless Parts is a good system that will take what you have developed using spreadsheets or other systems for quoting and incorporate that data into their process. You will get out what you put into it so if you understand your costs and how they drive your quotes then you should end up with a good product. If you don't know what you are doing don't expect Paperless to give you the quoting tools that you don't already have. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Paperless Parts solving and how is that benefiting you?

before we had Paperless we were using several spreadsheets to calculate how much to charge for parts, this has been completely eliminated and the formulas have now been built into our system and the quotes are very fast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
