Different team members quote the same work differently

RFQs pile up faster than the team can respond

Pricing logic lives in estimator experience instead of a system

After

Quotes generated using structured pricing rules

Consistent pricing across estimators and teams

Clear cost visibility across materials, machines, and processes

A shared quoting system the whole team can rely on

How Tempus Tools quoting software for manufacturing works

1

Configure pricing rules

Set up machine rates, material costs, and process rules inside Tempus Tools so your quoting logic reflects how your manufacturing operation actually runs.

Order summary with six line-priced parts, $125 subtotal, and a checkout button — your customers pick the parts they need and check out on their own, no emails back and forth
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 customer part files

Import customer CAD files and prepare them for quoting using tools like Drawing Doctor, which helps organize and clean part geometry before estimating.

3

Generate structured quotes

Create quotes using consistent pricing rules across materials, machines, and processes, 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
