Paperless Parts Quoting Platform Streamlines Estimating Process

Paperless Parts, an estimating and quoting platform for job shops and contract manufacturers, is said to offer a comprehensive software platform that enables users to quote faster and more accurately, reduce errors in the estimating process and provides shop owners the data and analytics needed to grow their business. 

The software capabilities include a centralized platform for viewing, prioritizing, assigning and managing RFQs. A BOM Builder for quoting automatically extracts tree structures from CAD files, enabling easy editing to organize assemblies, and identifying and costing subcomponents and purchased hardware quickly and accurately. 

Its also features a proprietary 3D-geometry engine that can analyze part models and flag potential manufacturability issues customized to a shop’s specific capabilities. An in-platform PDF viewer enables users to easily review drawings, make annotations, search for keywords, redact information and compare revisions when quoting from prints.

Recent updates to software include performance enhancements to the 3D Part Viewer that improve the ability to navigate complex parts and assemblies. This is said to improve the user experience when quoting large part files, and helps estimators ensure that geometric details don’t go missed when viewing large models.
