The automatic geometry analysis is awesome. It allows us to quickly evaluate parts for manufacturability and it generates time estimates automatically for quoting a variety of materials and manufacturing processes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Orders workflow seems a little disconnected from the rest of the software, with references to legacy features that no longer exist. It's also not very flexible, so you can't modify an existing order without cancelling it and placing a new one.

Credit card fees when using their payment processing are on the high side at 5%, so we encourage our customers to place a PO and process payment through our accounting software instead. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Paperless Parts is a visually appealing quoting software that can be customed tailored to give estimates for programming, set-up and run times based on the interrogation of a 3D model. The estimates will provide pricing specific to your shop based on the design of the part, the material of the part, and the method in which the part will be manufactured. The Paperless Part Team can also customize their software to meet any needs you may have and they usually make those changes within hours. We have been using their software since March of 2021 and I am extremely impressed. The software lets you know if you have quoted a part before and if so, allows you to pull all the previous information from the previous quote into a new quote. Another feature that is extremely useful is you can annotate features on a part that are problematic for manufacturing and invite the customer to chat about the feature or allow them to swap files out with new design changes. These are but a few of many features to name that Paperless Parts has to offer job shops and they continually add more weekly/monthly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most things that I have dis-liked have been changed almost immediately.

Some things that I dislike that they are working on are:

I dislike the saving/load time when inputting times or adding notes to processes.

I do not like how their software forces assembly CAD models to be broken down into their assembly components. Sometimes customers don't want hardware installed or you to quote the entire assembly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use. Import of drawing features. Collaboration notes and automatic email notifications to assist on the quote. Consistent quote method and automatic formats to send both electronically and hardcopy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No real dislikes. We have requested better and more customized analytics to better understand our success and product capture. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the ability to create and modify our processes and operations. The ability to define the pricing formulas based on features and logic is a huge advantage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are a few enhancements that I would like to see in future releases—namely, the ability to turn on and off features to be included in the calculation of pricing. But "dislike" is a harsh word - there isn't anything I "dislike". I would like to see a more seamless integration with our current ERP system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Quoting process and ease of use. Customer interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far nothing. I believe it needs to be able to use by companies making standard parts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has an easy-to-follow flow that is well laid out. The geometry engine and algorithms to calculate run times are solid and accurate. The actual quotes look great and can be tailored to be just enough "geeky" for high-end tech customers building advanced AI-driven automation but remain very accessible for our working artist customers too. Our quotes are the first documents our customers receive from us - they need to reflect who we are.

Tech support is fast and anticipatory. It's nice to have them go the extra mile without often asking - or, worst, begging.

Quoting is essential, but it is not why we are in business. Paperless seems to have gotten this fact about our company and has our back. Our focus is to make obscenely happy customers, verging on cult-like fandom. It's nice to have a partner in our corner - who is behaving as we try... Hmmm... Were we separated at birth?

I love grid-based database tools. You know looks like excel but is an editing tool. Think SlickGrid GitHub or the many dev products that have cropped up over the last 15 years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of access from anywhere in the world! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Mums the word. We do not have any cons on the list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the most helpful things about Paperless Parts is the clear and intuitive way it lays out customer quotes. Questions such as possible expedites or different price points are all included. It's kind of like the iPhone version of estimating software. Seamless and intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The biggest challenge is in the transition. It's very different from how we're used to doing things. It's really a paradigm shift. The one thing I do not like is not being able to alter a quote once complete. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Paperless Parts is an easy-to-use, intuitive interface for both you and the customer. From the simple 3d preview of parts, customizable quoting structures to the integration of all you need to process orders, Paperless makes interfacing with customers easy for everyone involved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If I had to pick something to change about Paperless Parts, I would love to add customization to the quotes and orders tabs. The provided tabs are great for sorting through quotes and orders, but every so often, we run into a case where we don't know which tab the specific quote would fall under.

I've only been using paperless for a short period of time, but it allows me to quickly establish consistent run time estimates on parts based on geometry in the solid models. It's great to work right from the solid model and also have the ability to send the files to vendors and team mates right from within the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The onboarding process took a long time, especially integrating paperless to send jobs to our existing shop management software. Still, their team got it figured out even though we presented some unique challenges. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
