- Participate in user discovery along with Product to learn directly from job shops, manufacturers, and buyers to ensure both new and existing solutions solve real workflow challenges

Our take
The creation of bespoke components for manufacturing processes can be time-consuming to manage and difficult to price. Typically, job shops and contract manufacturers have used paper trails to forecast component creation and provide quotes for their clients - meaning the process is ripe for modernization.
Paperless Parts provides an estimating and quoting software platform for manufacturers and job shops, focusing on eradicating paperwork from the process. The platform organizes quote information into a single point of knowledge for all parties, using this data to automate manual steps.
With this approach, the company says it's cutting costs, speeding up how components get deploys, and keeping everything secure and compliant along with way. And it seems to be working, as its now setting its sights on expanding into the Canadian and Mexican market, aiming to take its success even further.
