Case Study: Athena Manufacturing Quoting 4x More Volume with Paperless Parts

Athena Manufacturing Quotes 4x the Volume With Paperless Parts

Athena Manufacturing, a 21-year-old machining and fabrication company in Austin, TX serving the semiconductor and aerospace industries, was struggling to keep quoting fast and efficient in a highly competitive market. Using Paperless Parts for CNC machining and sheet metal fabrication, the team needed a better way to reduce repetitive work, double data entry, and slow turnaround times while maintaining quote accuracy.

Paperless Parts helped Athena Manufacturing automate and streamline quoting by integrating with Made2Manage ERP, automatically moving the quoted router and BOM into the system and organizing job files more effectively. As a result, Athena can quote simple parts in seconds instead of 15–20 minutes, handle 4x the quote volume at the same level of detail, and onboard inexperienced staff into successful estimators in as little as 6 months. Paperless Parts also caught costly DFM issues, including one that could have led to a $100K mistake, saving Athena tens of thousands of dollars.
