Case Study: KAD achieves faster quoting, higher revenue, and better IP protection with Paperless Parts

KAD Models and Prototypes Saves 75 Hours a Month, Increases Revenue by 15%, and Protects Customer Intellectual Property

KAD Models and Prototypes, a fast-turn CNC machining, silicone modeling, and urethane casting shop, had relied on Fictiv’s network to bring in new jobs and manage overflow work. But as the network expanded, KAD lost control over vendor selection, quote accuracy, quality consistency, and customer relationships, making it hard to grow sustainably while protecting customer intellectual property. To regain independence and offer a faster digital quoting experience, KAD turned to Paperless Parts and its Paperless Quoting solution.

With Paperless Parts, KAD automated and streamlined quoting, improved pricing consistency, and added secure, customer-facing digital quotes with better follow-up and analytics. The result was a savings of about 75 hours per month on quoting, enabling thousands of dollars in additional weekly production revenue, and a 15% increase in revenue from paid expedite options. Paperless Parts also helped KAD protect ITAR-controlled data and maintain ownership of customer relationships while delivering a more professional sales experience.
