FAQs
What is job shop software?
Job shop software helps small and mid-sized shops quote and manage custom work. Tempus Tools works as job shop estimating software, turning customer files into consistent, rules-based quotes so shops can respond to more RFQs without adding admin.
How does Tempus Tools help small job shops quote faster?
Tempus Tools generates quotes from your configured pricing rules and customer files, which reduces the manual measuring and spreadsheet work that slows quoting down. It also saves repeat parts so returning customers can be quoted again in moments.
Can more than one person quote in a job shop?
Yes. Because pricing rules live in the system rather than in one person's head, different team members can produce quotes using the same logic. That helps reduce the bottleneck of relying on a single owner or estimator.
Is job shop quoting software only for large shops?
No. Tempus Tools is priced per active quoting user and works well as small job shop software, suiting one and two-person operations that want to quote faster and more consistently.
