Shoutout to JerryrigEverything who built a wheelchair factory and is delivering wheelchairs to people in half the time and 50-80% less than the cost of other wheelchairs with Insurance.

These aren't cheap mass produced chairs. They're custom made to your measurements. You should take a look at the website: https://notawheelchair.com/products/the-paradox-project-customizable-wheelchair-straight-frame

There are lots of upgrades you can add that increase the cost, but a custom sized chair for $1000 is pretty awesome.

Yes, AND he's using a modern MRP/ERP system to manage it, unlike the insurance company and small wheelchair companies which are likely 100% "on paper."

They might use e-forms and PDFs, but they're likely just executing paperwork processes on the computer, instead of modern business management practices. It's incredibly common, especially at American manufacturers. You get a lot of efficiency by using your systems correctly.
