Tempo operates a connected factory powered by proprietary automation software that creates an unbroken digital thread from design to delivery. Its service lets engineers upload CAD designs to get real-time quotes, DFM feedback, and fully assembled printed circuit board assemblies, accelerating prototyping. The company's connected manufacturing links design data directly to robots on the floor, eliminating manual setup, shortening lead times from weeks to days, and enabling up to fivefold faster iteration. Tempo plans to expand capacity with a new connected factory and company headquarters in San Francisco, paired with its factory software to increase overall capacity by 10X over the next couple years, and to nearly double headcount. Operational metrics disclosed include revenue growth of over 500% in 2017, nearly 200 paying customers, and plans to grow staff from about 60 to over 100 by the end of 2018. Customers span aerospace, automotive, commercial hardware, consumer electronics, IoT, and medical devices.
