Company profile
researched Aug 2026Paperless Parts provides a cloud-native quoting and estimating platform for job shops and contract manufacturers. The software centralizes incoming requests for quote, part files and pricing data in a single searchable system, and automates analysis of uploaded part geometry to derive the variables that drive cost and price. The company positions the platform as a way to compress quoting cycles, with marketing material citing single-component quotes moving from up to two hours to roughly 15 minutes and complex assemblies from up to four days to about four hours.
The platform supports several manufacturing processes. For sheet metal fabrication it analyzes components and assemblies to identify bends, holes, thickness irregularities, cut lengths and punch hit counts. For CNC machining, including multi-axis milling and turning, automated part file analysis returns setup counts, process-specific feature detection, manufacturability warnings and volume removal figures. Swiss screw machining workflows identify live tooling requirements and assess manufacturability against a shop's stated capabilities, while additive manufacturing support covers FDM, SLS, SLA, PBF, MJF and binder jetting, estimating build times, support material, parts per build and material volumes. The product integrates with shop ERP systems.
Security and compliance are presented as a core part of the offering: the company states it is ITAR registered, uses 100% US-based system administrators and support, hosts the software on GovCloud, backs up all data and files nightly, maintains a site security plan with full disaster recovery, and is designed for CMMC compliance at a FedRAMP Moderate Equivalent level.
Business model
Paperless Parts licenses its quoting and estimating platform to manufacturing shops as cloud-delivered software, with prospective customers entering through a booked product demonstration.
Traction
Company materials cite use by hundreds of manufacturers across North America and publish customer case studies including Jax Precision, SPM and KMM Group.
