FAQs
What is fabrication quoting software?
Fabrication quoting software helps custom fabrication shops price drawing-based work consistently. Tempus Tools turns customer drawings into rules-based quotes, so shops can quote varied custom jobs without estimating each one from scratch.
How does Tempus Tools help fabrication shops quote faster?
Tempus Tools generates quotes from your configured pricing rules and prepared customer files, which removes the manual measuring and spreadsheet work that slows custom quoting down. Faster turnaround helps shops respond to RFQs and win more work.
Can it handle the varied work custom fabrication involves?
Yes. Because pricing rules and processes are configured once and applied to each job, shops can quote a wide range of custom work consistently, whatever the customer sends.
Is Tempus Tools an ERP for fabrication shops?
Tempus Tools focuses on quoting and the workflow around approved quotes. It helps shops price jobs, prepare customer files, and carry job information forward, while integrating with other systems your team already uses. Along with CAD/CAM software and an accounting program, some shops find Tempus Tools can serve in place of an ERP.
