What fabrication shops are saying

FAQs
What is a customer ordering portal?
A customer ordering portal lets your customers upload parts, get instant pricing, place orders, and pay online through your own website. Tempus Tools provides this through the Web Store, built specifically for fabrication and laser shops.
How is this different from generic ecommerce software?
Standard ecommerce tools are usually built for fixed catalogue products. The Tempus Tools portal prices custom parts from customer files using your configured rules, so it fits the way fabrication and laser shops take orders.
Can customers reorder previous parts?
Yes. Customers can reorder saved parts from their own account, so repeat orders take moments and pricing stays consistent with your rules.
Do customers get pricing instantly?
Yes. The portal applies your configured pricing rules to the customer's uploaded parts and returns pricing straight away, so routine orders can be placed without your team quoting every request by hand.
Is this a manufacturing customer portal or a B2B ordering portal?
The Tempus Tools Web Store works as a manufacturing customer portal and B2B ordering portal built for fabrication and laser shops. It gives your customers quote-to-order capability, uploading parts, getting instant pricing, and placing orders, without the generic setup of standard ecommerce platforms.
