Rob Carrington, Founder
I’ve worked with dozens of shops to transform their business through software and automation. I believe that technology should serve people, not the other way around, and I take a people-first approach in rolling out new technology to a team.
I am an expert in process optimization and software design. I have designed and built solutions in a wide variety of industries and problem spaces, with over a decade of experience in cutting-edge software and data analytics at organizations such as MIT Lincoln Laboratory, The Brattle Group, and Ecovent. Most recently, as an early employee at Paperless Parts, I played an instrumental role in scaling the company from a scrappy startup in a basement to the world's leading quoting and estimating solution for job shops and contract manufacturers.
I recently started a YouTube channel to share my thoughts on the manufacturing software landscape and digital transformation best practices. To learn more, check out my blog and follow me on LinkedIn.
“Rob was a pleasure to work with. He implemented all the changes to automate our process in a timeline and accuracy that was incredible. It was his understanding of not only the software, but the manufacturing industry and the customer needs that drove that success.”
Matt Newman, Athena Manufacturing
“Rob stands out as a problem solver, and possesses a rare talent for making complex topics accessible and engaging. His ability to dig in and tackle hard problems has led to our ability to unlock pieces of the market we originally thought would be off limits.”
Jason Ray, Paperless Parts
