Laser-Fab Modernizes Quoting with Paperless Parts to Speed Up Turnaround Time & Improve Customer Experience

Strathmore, Alberta-based fabricator brings on Paperless Parts to streamline quoting across five estimators and improve customer responsiveness.

Strathmore, AB – Laser-Fab, a Canadian metal fabricator with 20+ years of experience, has partnered with Paperless Parts to modernize its quoting process, enabling faster turnarounds, tighter consistency across estimators, and a more seamless experience for customers.

For years, Laser-Fab’s quoting process relied heavily on manual steps. As the company continued to grow, with five estimators currently quoting and more team members being trained, there became a clear need for a centralized, consistent quoting workflow. “Growth becomes easier when more people are actively involved in driving the business forward,” said Mark Screpnek, who runs Sales and Business Development at Laser-Fab. “To do that, we need to make our quoting process more efficient and consistent across all estimators so that everyone can keep their foot on the gas without making mistakes.”

Laser-Fab has only recently begun using Paperless Parts to quote, and they have already seen major improvements in how quickly they can respond to RFQs and launch new jobs. Paperless Parts’ AI-powered tools, like the BOM Builder and Wingman™, automate manual, objective work—like extracting part numbers and revisions from drawings, and streamlining the build-out of assembly quotes—significantly reducing their draft-to-send time.

“Our customers can send us a quote request, we can return it quickly, and they can place an order right away,” said Screpnek. “We’ve had a lot of positive feedback so far; they love being able to interact with the quote, move the part around, and see everything laid out clearly. It’s intuitive and transparent.” The team has found the platform’s Smart RFQ form functionality to be especially user-friendly, as their buyers can instantly and securely submit all the necessary information without back-and-forth emails.

Integrating Paperless Parts with their ERP system, JobBOSS, will also help Laser-Fab maintain accuracy and consistency from the front office to the shop floor. This streamlines order entry and ensures the details from the quote carry all the way through production without being lost or re-entered.

“Laser-Fab understands that delivering a fast and transparent experience for OEMs is the new expectation,” said Jason Ray, Co-Founder and CEO of Paperless Parts. “Their team is building for sustainable growth and we’re proud that our platform helps them scale without sacrificing quality or control.”

“We want to be able to do more and more work,” Screpnek added. “Paperless Parts helps us deliver faster turnarounds and become an even stronger long-term partner to our customers.”
