Paperless Parts

AI score: 89 / 100 Exceptional for SMB

Cloud quoting and estimating for job shops and machine shops

Type: plug-ins / best-of-breed  ·  Tech: modern  ·  Budget: SMB friendly ($10k–$70k/yr)
Core verticals: aerospace / defense, job shop / machine shop, metal fabrication

Purpose-built quoting platform for CNC machining, sheet metal, and contract manufacturing. Reads 3D part geometry to automate cost estimation. Integrates natively with JobBOSS², ProShop, Global Shop, Epicor, and MIE Trak. ITAR/CMMC compliant.

editor's note: A quoting plugin, not a standalone ERP, it sits on top of whatever ERP you already run. If estimators are spending more than 30% of their day on quotes, this is the highest-ROI tool you can add to a job shop or machine shop.

Best-in-class quoting plugin for aerospace and job shops, AI geometry processing is genuinely differentiated, ITAR/CMMC compliant, strong SMB adoption; slight penalty for no published pricing.
