    What Volty does with Paperless Parts

    Paperless Parts is a quoting and estimating platform for custom job-shop manufacturers. Volty reads quotes and orders through the Paperless Parts REST API with a token your administrator generates. A buyer chasing last Thursday's RFQ gets the quote number, price breaks and lead times back, and a request for 500 pieces goes to the estimator who owns the quote.

    • Quote status

      Volty reads whether a quote is in review or sent, and who owns it.

    • Price breaks and lead times

      Per-quantity prices and lead times from the sent quote.

    • Reorders checked

      A past quote's terms, with a note that the estimator confirms they still stand.

    • Requotes to the estimator

      A new quantity or material goes to a named estimator.

    VoltyHi Andre, quote 3988 has 1,000 stainless spacers at $1.85 each with a 2-week lead time. Shall I ask our team to confirm it is still current?

    Common questions

    How does Volty read our Paperless Parts quotes?

    An administrator generates an API token from the Settings page in Paperless Parts, and can revoke or regenerate it there. Volty uses it to fetch quote and order data over the REST API, limited to the lookups you agree with our team.

    Will Volty change prices or send a revised quote?

    No. Pricing stays with your estimators. When a buyer asks for a new quantity or material, Volty passes the request to the estimator with the part, quote number and quantities, and the estimator revises and sends the quote from Paperless Parts.

    Can Volty follow up on quotes that went quiet?

    Yes. A weekly automation can read quotes sent in the past week that have no order, and email each buyer from the estimator's address. Replies come back into Volty, where the estimator can pick them up.

    How much does it cost to connect Paperless Parts with Volty?

    Every Volty plan includes seats, active contacts and AI credits and starts with a free 7-day trial, and the plan prices are on voltade.com/pricing. Meta bills message charges separately for WhatsApp, Instagram and Messenger.
