From spreadsheet quoting to structured pricing

Before

Estimators interpret drawings manually

RFQs pile up faster than the team can respond

Quotes vary depending on who prepares them

Production teams receive incomplete or unclear job details

After

Geometry is interpreted and prepared for quoting

Pricing rules are applied consistently across quotes

Estimators follow the same structured quoting logic

Quotes generate clear production documentation

How Tempus Tools laser quoting software works

1

Import customer drawings

Upload customer PDF or CAD files directly into Tempus Tools so estimators can begin preparing parts for quoting without manual redrawing.

Upload interface showing a 500x250x12mm base plate DWG file — drop your design file into Tempus Tools and get an instant laser cutting quote instead of waiting hours for a callback
Parts checklist with pass/fail status indicators next to a technical schematic — every team member sees the same parts, same prices, same status, so nothing falls through the cracks
2

Prepare part geometry

Use tools like Drawing Doctor to organize and clean customer drawings, resolving common geometry issues before parts are used in the quoting workflow.

3

Generate structured quotes

Apply configured pricing rules across materials, machines, and processes to generate consistent quotes, helping estimators produce accurate pricing faster and with fewer manual calculations.

Three laser-cut part drawings with an itemized materials cost breakdown — see exactly what each part costs before you send the quote, no more back-of-napkin math

What manufacturing teams are saying

“We needed a quick and efficient software solution to export a presentable quote that we can forward directly to customers in a timely fashion. Spreadsheets just weren’t going to work anymore.”

“Since implementing Tempus Tools, we’ve found it is much more accurate, reliable, and fast. Instead of two people quoting full time, we can now have one person do a better job in a quarter of the time.”

Olivier S.

MSG Industries

“I like that my laser machine operator and I can get an accurate idea of material usage, time, labour, and other relevant data for each job – and it greatly reduces the risk of human error, because Tempus Tools is a rules-based program.”

FAQs

What is laser quoting software?

Laser quoting software helps fabrication and laser cutting shops generate structured quotes by interpreting customer drawings and applying predefined pricing rules.

Can multiple estimators use the same pricing rules?

Yes. Tempus Tools allows shops to configure pricing rules so all estimators follow the same quoting logic.

Does the software work with customer CAD files?

Yes. Customer PDF and CAD drawings can be imported and prepared for quoting using the Drawing Doctor feature.
