Imagine a sheet metal prototype shop that was so fast and reliable it never turned down a job if it were physically possible to complete and the customer was willing to pay the price. My guest today, Jay Jacobs, built his former company RAPID from a team of five to over 300. Before being acquired by a publicly traded company for a price he couldn’t refuse, RAPID was manufacturing over 30,000 unique part numbers annually, 24-7-365 days a year. Then Jay cofounded Paperless Parts, a cloud based estimating and quoting software platform. On today’s show, Jay is going to tell us how he scaled his company and how a job shop can make bold delivery promises like Domino’s Pizza. Disclaimer, I didn’t say the parts tasted good. Jay also hosts an excellent podcast called the Job Shop Show *************** Link to Graff-Pinkert’s ad for Graff-Pinkert’s Acquisitions and Sales promotion!The post A Shop that Makes Promises Like Domino’s Pizza, Jay Jacobs (Part 1) EP-196 first appeared on Today’s Machining World.
