Today, most RFQs only come with PDFs of 2D technical drawings. Quoting and estimating from PDFs is difficult and time-consuming. It’s hard to reference past jobs to review notations, changes, or historical pricing. Using this data means digging through manual files, interpreting notes on the side of a drawing, and having to work from memory. The risk is that quotes are not consistent, may be inaccurate, and rely heavily on a "tribal knowledge." This is the way the industry has operated until now.
Paperless Parts created new technology that unlocks the technical data trapped in PDF files to transform your quoting process.
