Tempus Tools Online Store

Online quoting software for fabrication & laser shops

Tempus Tools online quoting software for fabrication and laser shops allows customers to request quotes, receive pricing, and place orders directly through your shop’s website. Instead of managing every RFQ manually, shops can offer a structured, self-serve quoting experience powered by their existing pricing logic.

FAQs

What is online quoting software for fabrication shops?

Online quoting software allows fabrication shops to let customers upload parts, receive pricing, and place orders directly through a website instead of relying solely on email-based RFQs.

Can laser shops offer instant online quotes?

Yes. With Tempus Tools’ Web Store feature, laser shops can provide structured pricing through their website based on their configured quoting rules.

Does this replace internal quoting?

No. The Web Store extends your internal quoting logic externally. You can continue to quote manually when needed while offering self-serve quoting for appropriate jobs.
